I have 4 roosters that I am trying to rehome, but I still am not sure what they are. My guess is that they are Silver Laced Wyandottes, but 2 of the 4 have rose combs and the other 2 have single combs. All have yellow legs. The feathering colors are almost exact, but something tells me that...

Does anyone have a Bantam Delaware Rooster that they do not want? I live outside of Savannah.

I am wondering if anyone here would be interested in starting a coupon train? A coupon train is when you and a group of friends exchange coupons via snail mail. You mail out the coupons you don't use to someone in the train, and in exchange receive the coupons you need. Maybe we could have...

This may be a silly question....but, I have one bantam rooster and all of my hens are standard size. What will happen if he is able to fertilize eggs or will he be able to? Would the chicks live? I apologize in advance for asking, but I thought someone on here would know or have experience...

Hi, My son brought these chickens to me and I am not really sure what they are. What do you think they are. I looked online and in a catalog I have, but am still not sure what they could be. I am most curious about this bantam rooster: This one is black and white, but with feathered legs...

Hi, I have 4 Silver Laced Wyandotte Roosters that I would like to sell to a chicken friendly home. They are 14 weeks old. $12.00 Each. We are located just outside of Savannah, GA and the South Carolina Border. I tried to take pictures of them, but at the time they did not feel like posing...

I am expecting 5 cuckoo marans and 5 welsummers. I just called the Post Office and the mail is late in being delivered to them. The wait is killing me..... Hopefully, they will call soon and let me know they are there and alright!! I get six extra this time of something, I think they...

I just went out to check for eggs this morning and this is what I saw. This is the cutest site! There was one more chicken waiting her turn in the doorway! I guess this explains why I am getting all my eggs earlier. There was one day last week, the last egg I got was at 7:30 PM!!

We were outside the other night after dinner and all of our chickens were out also. I have a 5 year old son and 3 year old daughter and I am always telling them don't chase the chickens, they'll peck you. They have both been pecked and so have I. Well anyway, my son says to me: Mommy, why do...

Hi, I remember seeing a post a while ago from someone looking for a finished Lowe's Playhouse Coop. Here is mine, I still need to finish painting, but the construction is done!! https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=5733-Lazy_8_Coop I just wanted to share with everyone. I'd...

Hi, I am wondering if anyone here can help me. I don't post very often, but usually try to read posts daily. Within the past 2 weeks I have lost 2 chickens, 1 RIR and today a Delaware. Both would have been 23 weeks this Wednesday. I feed my chickens Layena with oyster shells free choice...

Hi, We will be building a run for our new chicks soon and I need some ideas on what we will need. We will have 10 or less chickens in the area. We will also be moving some around daily in a Forsham inspired tractor. We have the Lowes playhouse built (it's not totally finished yet) and out in...

Hi, Does anyone want the 10 Naked Neck Turken Chicks I received from Ideal as my "warmers"? They have all been healthy, no problems, we just aren't going to keep all of them and I would like to see them go to a good home! They will be 2 weeks old on Wednesday. If you do, please let me know...

Hi, I have 1 Dominique Chick that is smaller than all of the other chicks that I have. They are all one week old today. I have watched her, she does drink and eat, but just doesn't seem as aggressive with eating as the others. Does anyone have any suggestions to get her to eat more? I don't...

I have 3 chicks that seem to get pasty butt, I clean it off, but they still get it. If I give them yogurt, do they need additional grit or just what is in the Chick Starter feed? I have put olive oil on them after they have been cleaned, but that doesn't seem to help.

I received 10 naked necks as packing peanuts with my order last week from Ideal. I was wondering if anyone has ever received extras that were not males. Some of mine had dots on their heads, I think, but others didn't have dots. Maybe they aren't really dots, just dark spots on the head? All...

Hi, Here are the chicks I received yesterday. Yesterday they were extremely active from the time I put them in the brooder until late in the night. They are all eating and drinking, but they sure seem to be sleeping alot more today. Since this is my first experience with chicks, is this normal?

Here they are! The post office called me at 7:40 and said they were ready for pickup. I ordered 10 pullets, I got 8 or 9 naked neck males too (for warmth). I hope the pictures work! They are soooo cute!

Hi, My chics should be here in the next 2 weeks and I am trying to get everything ready. I have some questions: 1. Should I buy the Grow Gel Plus & Quik Chik? 2. I already have some Chic Starter Feed from Tractor Supply. Do I also need the Chick Grit? I thought I read somewhere that if I...

I bought the playhouse yesterday at my Lowe's on Sale for $199, plus the man gave me an extra 10% off. This playhouse does not have a floor, so I am going to put in a floor (really my husband) that can be removed if needed for cleaning. I also want my husband to add some 4x4 feet underneath...
