    Poultry breeders Texas

    You may know this already but Ideal Poultry is a Texas hatchery. I got 15 SS chics from them four weeks ago and I am still at 100%. They won't ever be show chickens without a lot of work but they will produce eggs and meat.

    Seriously behind chicken?

    One or two of my Chics is a little behind as well. I would admit that they aren't that far behind but some do develop slower. I figured the two that weren't feathering were just on the runt side of the flock.

    Chick question

    I gave them parakeet grit because I had to run to walmart any way. I offered it to them separatly and they didn't seem terribly interested. It is mainly very tiny sand not the usual oyster stuff you get at most feed stores. The chicks are going outside for play time for an hour or so a day...

    Chick question

    Thanks for all the replies. I forgot to take pictures before I washed them. I will if I notice it again. Wish I would have known not to give treats first though. Today was the first day to get treats. It was only a meal worm a piece. Everyone seems fine. No bloated butts and the skin color...

    Chick question

    This is my first post in the forum. I have been reading a lot and learning a lot. I bought 15 SS chicks from Ideal. They arrived a week ago and today I noticed that a few of the chicks had a little poo on their bums. I looked up pictures of pasty bums and that isn't what I see. I kinda...
