I've had these chicks for about a month now, with a Buff Laced Polish, Blue Andalusian, and black silkies. Everyone is well-fed, watered, and all,but I'm sort of worried about one of the silkies! She has a stuffy nose and is acting somewhat frail, but she acts a lot like the other chicks and...

Starters should go up to about 8 weeks max. Starter and Growers can wait about 16 weeks. After that, just give them layer feed. And I don't know about this whole 6 month thing, for my hens have laid their first few eggs, and they were born in March.

They sort of give themselves a bath!

Not by a whistle, but I bet you could teach them to come when you call them...

I love them all! But if I had to say which was my favorite, I'd choose either Buff Orphintons, Polish, Silkie, Salmon Favarolle, Wyandotte, and more and more and more...

Check out this chicken poop site: http://chat.allotment.org.uk/index.php?topic=17568.0 If the poop looks like it is under the abnormal category, it could be coccidiosis.

Don't feel so guilty. A fight is often unpredictable between animals. But, I'm really sorry about what happened.

Yes, they sure will!

God, I hate it when they do "males for warmth" myself. I'd separate the breeds, and keep 1 rooster for each breed. If they've made it so 1 entire breed is roosters, ( ) you should only keep 1 of them.

Aww. I'm sorry about that.

It's almost impossible to tell now, unless you look up their vent, and even experts sometimes get it wrong there. I think you may just have to wait a little while.

Buff Orphingtons, Buff Orphintons, BUFF ORPHINGTONS! I also would recommend Polish. Though they're not reliable with laying, they are very sweet and I've had a Black crested lay almost every day.

You got it right!

Layer Feed- Layer feed is for hens and pullets that are laying eggs. Scratch- Scratch is a special food that most chickens will go crazy for. Grit- Grit is basically just rocks, dirt, etc. to help their crop. Run- Runs are areas that chickens are allowed to mill about in when they can't play in...

Mealworms and tomatoes.

They'll often have worms in their poop and pale combs. To treat, I'd give them antibiotics and yogurt. But they've never had them before (knock on wood), so I've never tried the method.

Mine got some corn, mealworms, and tomatoes.

I have 2 bantams that have just started laying, and they sort of cluck... but, one of the bantams sounds more like an exotic parrot.

It's alright. Mine are the same age, and turned their nose up to mealworms (chickens absolutely LOVE those)!

I just let them roam in the yard. They eat everything they come across, and find almost all of their needs!
