I live in Staten Island, currently have 9 chickens (4 grown, 5 chicks/pullets). I'm looking to sell 2 of the pullets. Please let me know if anyone is interested!! It's super hard trying to find a buyer for chicks/chickens in NYC. 1 Speckled Sussex Chick 2 Lavender Orpington Chicks 2 Easter...

Thx, didn’t know they existed Lol. Will do!

This is adequate ventilation, don’t worry about them in the cold they’re so hardy. I have chicks outside no heat 5 weeks old rn. But i would just see if its a mud bath after some rain, if its a little bit in the run its fine. If its too much extend some roofing above it to shed rain and snow.

I got an EE same age shows absolutely 0 sign of laying when my others laid 1+ month ago same age. Not even with supplemental lighting, shell lay when she lays ig

They’re ready to go out for sure. Here’s my chicks at 5 weeks old. Temps drop to low 30°s at night right now and they’re doing great. Sometimes they even split into two groups of 3 on different roosts so even less body heat to snuggle up on.

Could we get some pictures, that would help You mention they're battery hen rescues, they don't need heat imo since they're of age even if they dont have all their feathers. The sudden light turning on that made them aggressive is no coincidence as well, when they were battery hens the lights...

Just went outside to check, it’s currently 38° They seem to love it 😆 glad I can ditch the brooder plate now

yea after week 4 I checked on them and they still slept under the plate. Week 5 I unplugged it and taught them to sleep on the roost and they’ve been doing so for the past few days. I will check for huddling in a corner to see if I need to add the plate back! Thanks

I live in NYC. Current temperatures at night fall to the 30°s sometimes below freezing and sometimes above freezing, but stays around this temp range til January. I have 6 chicks they’re around 5 weeks old, wondering if they need their brooder plate still. Attached is also a pic of one of the...

This is unrelated, just trying to find someone who wants my Olive Egger girl. Currently thinning my flock and it’s super hard to find anyone who wants to buy a pullet in NYC. She’s 24 weeks old

Have a bit too many looking to thin my flock as I have chicks growing up right now. She’s never laid an egg, when I got her she was around 16-18 weeks so she is 24+ weeks old right now. Friendly, docile, not flighty (put up no fight when I held her like this to take pics) $20 I’m in NYC...

I have 2 production hybrid girls they're Lohmann Brown but will be 99% the same as other production hybrids like Isa Brown, Sex link, etc. They've given me 1 egg each everyday for the past 50+ days, 2 double yolks already. But I also have a Wyandotte, EE, and Orpingtons. All are good choices

instead of side to side install it sideways so it opens top down, tracks wont get clogged.

if u still wanna keep chickens, get her chicks or younger pullets! ofc keep an eye on her to make sure she doesnt hurt the younger ones but im sure shed love some babies of her own. When I had seperated my fully grown EE I got her a 7wk old Wyandotte friend and put them together immediately 0...

remove the bulb, serves no use + they dont need the heat. As for laying, its total light hours that affects it so install a timer LED if u want eggs throughout the winter. But they definitely need 8 hours of pure darkness (or as dark as u can get it in the coop).

Agree with above it’s from riboflavin mostly. Brewers yeast is good, if u have beef liver as well its extremely high in riboflavin.

I would advice a PVC gravity feeder set up. 3 in pipe into a curved piece of PVC (looks like a J or a C), I use this and no spilling because there’s a lip to prevent them from scooping it out.

Wait for other replies as well but for now add some vitamins into her water, chick vitamin is what i use

Throw them outside watch for huddling but 90% sure they’ll be unfazed

Give them eggs they’ll shut up
