I do need to get some pictures! Lol, I call them chicks for many weeks!


They are fun and I did okay. Set 40 eggs and 34 hatched. I've had poults before, so I knew about putting a chick in with them, but thanks for mentioning it.


DO get some pictures and if they not over a month old, enter the Cutest Baby Fowl Photo Contest—Win a Brinsea Incubator!

I used to take my peachick to Tractor Supply with me. I did this until he was six months old.


I have a bunch too. What breeds do you have?


Wow, 10 is old. Glad to hear the one I helped you with is still alive and doing well. What sort of coop upgrades are you making?


What types of chicks are you doing? 4-H is a wonderful program, I wish I had had the opportunity.


Long time! A couple of mine have scabs like that from their perch. What does she perch on?



Glad you're getting lots of eggs and a little money to help offset the cost of feed.

Dang, sorry about your losses.

Congrats on the ducklings and goslings! Get lots of pictures!

If you're ever in the Gilroy area, I could take your rooster.


Wow! Sriously long time! How are you?


Time flys! I can't believe your oldest is eight.


I call my peafowl peachicks until they are a year old. Once they are a year, I call them yearlings. Ducklings are ducklings until they feather out. Once feathered out, I call them juveniles.


That's nice mix of breeds! Good point on the egg color making it easier to spot problems. Brooding indoors does get pretty smelly.


So sorry to hear that you had to have surgery. I hope you feel better soon and that your family can learn how to do your animal chores. Like you, I'd rather be out doing stuff than sick in bed.
Get well soon!

I have some fully feathered mixed-breed chicks that I'll sell cheaply.


Sounds like you got your hands full!


The weather has been so nice!

Have you though about what you might get?
