He/she is 15 weeks... These are the best pics I can get..... this chicken simply will NOT stay still..LOL So far I have not heard any obvious crowing... although he/she seems to be very vocal if all the other chickens are out of his/her sight....

They are 13 weeks now.... I am assuming they are Br's but is there a definite way to tell at this age? As chicks, these 4 were black with white spots on their heads but were bought in a bin with 2 black sex link females so I have always questioned it. I will try to get some updated pics in a...

I have 2 black stars and 4 br's ( at least i hope br's and not sexlink males) they are 13 weeks old. I have no idea when they will begin laying... are there signs to look for? Not sure when to give them layer feed either..

I have 4 barred rocks (at least I think they are BR's) and 2 black stars. I just bought a 50lb bag of starter/grower...still unopened... My friend just told me this morning she already put her 13 weekers on layer pellets. She said her other chickens began laying at 16 weeks last year...

Has to be a better way... I am getting POO'd in the process daily because I am carrying them.... some of them have been let out before on a trial run but that didn't go so well.... it's hard to catch a chicken..lol:rolleyes: There is no way to pull my pvc run to the perm one either...... not...

1 of the 2 used to like us, but won't really come near us now..... the other one I believes HATES us....although I try and give her special attention. If I touch her she runs, if I pick her up she has a FIT and I have to let her go because I am afraid she will hurt herself... What can I do to...

Our chicks are just over 8 weeks old..... right now we are giving them starter/grower so when should I transition them over to the next type? I think I read on TSC website 10 weeks? I am about out of feed though so I need to buy some more in the next couple days.... I usually can only find...

They are in a permanent coop/run w/ sand in the run part all day long...... I do see them eating the sand but should I offer them grit anyway? I bought some, just haven't put it out yet. Will they only eat what they need and not more?

What kind of treats will my 7 week old chickens like? what is it ok to give them at their age? Anything I should avoid? How often should I offer it?

Right now our 6, 7 week old chickens are in their permanent coop/run, we are planning on buildling a pvc run for the yard to put them in each day. HOWEVER, I am not quite sure the best way to get them from one place to another. As it is right now, MOSt of my chickens run from me anyway when I...

Here is the plan.... Girls will be in coop/run a lot of the time but would love to have them out in the grass/woods foraging a couple hours a day as well..... Is it too much to alternate grassy area/woodsy area for them? Maybe one day in woods/one in grass etc... My biggest dilemma is HOW I...

will they be ok without a heat lamp? I haven't had the lamp on them for a couple weeks now, they have been outside the past 2 nights but tonight is the coolest so far..I think they are forecasting a low of 48 but I know it wind up cooler than that especially since we are outside the city...

These 2 had NO white spot on their heads... must be girls if they are BSL right? I also have noticed blue/green sheen to the black yesterday... Only thing I wonder about is the different colored feet???
