One of my Orpington chicks must have injured the side of her face, or got pecked. She was fine yesterday and I noticed this this evening. I'm not really sure what happened. The area around her eye is slightly swollen and there was dried blood on the side of her head. We couldn't find any visible...

When I got the chicks I ordered, there was an extra one with them. One was completely gray and one was gray with a little yellow (mostly on her head). One of them is definitely a White Plymouth Rock, since that is what I ordered. I thought the other one might be a second White Plymouth Rock, but...

My chicks are about a week old now. They arrived on Wednesday. One of them has had issues with pasty butt since they got here. I keep wiping it and it is getting much better. She is eating normal, drinking normal, and overall seems fine. I am starting to worry about her though, because she is...

I ordered my chicks from Chickens for Backyards. They shipped Monday afternoon and arrived this morning. I'm trying to figure out the breeds, since I got an extra one in there. Originally I ordered 4. On Monday they called because their Golden Laced Wyandottes hadn't been hatching well so they...

2 more weeks until my chicks arrived, so I am going to buy and prep everything for them this weekend. I will be getting 4 chicks. It seems the starter feed they have at the stores is 18% protein which they'll be on until 16 to 18 weeks of age. Approximately how many pounds of food do you think I...

So originally I was going to pick up my chicks locally from Dunlap (Idaho). Then I decided that maybe I wanted some breeds they didn't have, obsessed over what to get, and went back and forth with what I wanted. Yesterday I found Chickensforbackyards.com and decided this is it. I am going to...

I had been looking at getting my chicks from Dunlap Hatchery, and I have heard mostly good things about them. However, I would also like to explore the option of buying from a breeder, mainly as I was told that Dunlap only sells Easter Eggers but not the true Ameraucanas, and I'd really like to...

I have been debating what kind of chickens to get in spring and been trying to get as much information as possible. I am looking for chickens that are both good egg layers and tame/ friendly. I had decided on one of them being a Barred Plymouth Rock. Now I saw that Dunlap hatchery, who I'm going...

Hello! I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Sylvia and I live in Boise, Idaho. I don't have any chickens yet, but I plan on getting some next year. My husband started building the coop already. :-) I was looking into getting chicks or pullets from Dunlap Hatchery in Caldwell. Or...

Hello, I am a new member, living in Boise, Idaho. I'm planning on getting some chickens beginning of next year and we're already in the process of building a coop. I think the breeds I want are an Australorp, Rhode Island Red, Barred Plymouth Rock, and Easter Egger. I'm not completely sure...
