News; managed to get a hutch for $20 off of a friend :D Just moved the guinea pigs to the hutch and cleaned out the pen for the chicks arrival.
I'm waiting for the lady to drop off two chicks today. Will send pictures of them once they arrive :)
Okay thanks a lot! Really helpful. They'll be free-ranging during the day. I do have a chicken run but it's turned into an aviary with birds inside and I don't think they'd get along. Meanwhile I'll have to find a cheap coop for them.
Okay thanks. How long do I keep them on chick crumbles for? And the guinea pigs live in a spacious square pen outside on the grass... not a hutch. I'll try to get two then, they seem pretty healthy.
I'm getting some bantam chicks on the weekend and have a few questions:
1. Does anyone know the breeds of these chicks? I know that the white ones are leghorn and the brown one might be a wyandotte?
2. The chicks are approximately 5-6 weeks old, is there any possible way to sex them?
3. Can...
