I will be moving to a place with some land and will be taking my chickens. My question is, since I will be rearranging all the runs and coops, is it ok to just put them where I want them and let them sort it out? I was thinking that since they will all be is a new place with different...

I know that the Marek’s vaccine needs to be kept cold. However, I would like to know what is the temperature that it should not go over. The information that comes with the vaccine says that it needs to be stored between 35F and 45F, but then in the directions it says to store the diluent at not...

I have two 8 week old Denizli Longcrowers and one of them does not have all its feathers. No tail, only fuzz where the tail should be, neck feathers and wings, but the rest is all chick fuzz. It looks like it is ok, eats and drinks fine and is always the one that greets me at the pen door when...

I will be moving to a new house with property, so I will have plenty of space for chickens. I will probably need at least six pens. I would like to know what size and what material to use. I’m thinking 2” chain link, but I don’t know if that is a good material. Also wondering how long and wide...

Does anybody know how to fix this? I am at a loss and I’m not sure who to contact since the manufacturer is not clear. I contacted [email protected], like it says at the very bottom of the instructions, but haven’t heard back. Any help would be appreciated.

I was just looking for geese online because I read that one goose is good protection against predators for chickens. It also said to get Chinese or African geese, but it seems like all online hatcheries are sold out. Does anybody have an idea why? Where could I get a goose? I'm looking at a...

These guys are 8 weeks old. What sex are they, please. The first 3 pictures are one of them and the last 3 the other.

I would like to find out the sex of this 5 week-old Deathlayer. I’m afraid it’s a he.

I have three 5 1/2 week old Bresse chicks and I would like to know if it’s possible to tell the sex yet or if I need to wait a few more weeks.

Hi everybody! I have this chick that came from a brown egg a friend let me have from some eggs a friend gave her. I had four eggs and three hatched. When I asked what the hens/roosters were, I was told that this was a barred rock hen and a blue laced red wyandotte rooster. When she was born...

I am looking for Buff Laced or Candy Cane Smith Polish hatching eggs. Does anybody know who has some available now? Thank you.

I would like to hatch some buff laced Polish chicks. I just lost my little girl. Also, it would be good to know places that I can get good quality hatching eggs of different breeds.

I have some 6 week old chicks that are out in the coop. The coop is on the side of the house and most of that area has a roof, but there is a part that does not have a covering. There is a 6 foot fence, but they will eventually be able to fly over it an get out. Maybe not the Brahma or the...

I have a 6 week old Cream Legbar cockerel that need to be rehomed because I can’t keep roosters.

I know this is a cockerel because he is a Cream Legbar. I can’t have roosters, and it’s killing me but I have to rehome him. He is 6 weeks old. I have seen that we are supposed to post these messages in the individual state forums, but I’ve looked and can’t seem to figure out how to get there...

I was just thinking. If black sex link chicks are a rooster with black over a barred rock hen, couldn’t you use a copper marans rooster and get a black sex link that lays pretty dark eggs? Bear in mind that my knowledge of chicken genetics is almost nonexistent, but it would be nice to be able...

So, I hatched some chicks from some eggs a friend got from a friend. I’m curious to know what this chick will eventually look like. I found out the hen is supposed to be an Ameraucana, but the information is second hand so it could also be an Easter Egger. The roo is a Blue Laced Red...

Here is a picture of the chick in question. That comb seems pretty big for a 3-week old. What do y’all think?

Anyone know what would cause a large bulge in the right side of a chick's neck?? It was apparent when received from the hatchery. Could it possibly be due to Marek's vaccine? Any ideas on how to deal with it? It is definitely not symmetrical. Otherwise the chick appears healthy and active.

Four years ago I some chickens. I lived in the country and moved to the city. I thought I couldn't keep chickens, so I gave mine to a friend. She was getting some more this year and I had found out that I can keep chickens, so I got enthused too. Right now I'm trying to hatch some BBS...
