Will you post an update photo! They are just too cute!!

Meant turken not turkey! Wouldn't that be a sight!! Lol

Hatched a turkey bantam cochin mix. A silkie cochin mix and a Easter egger Orpington mix chick. I also hatched one that I'm completely unsure what it is but pretty sure it's Orrpington mix. I'm in love! Who else loves mixing and seeing what you get?? I just do this once in a blue moon. I...

Only one? That's not good for them

A good trellis that hangs like the upside down tomatoes planters. It will keep growing and they can frequently snack. Reusing feed bags to make a tarp, you layer them and then lay wax paper over them and use an iron to melt them together.

No problem! I've had so many chickens in different things. I keep a rabbit hutch in my green house for my grow outs. It works so good. Extra warmth and protection, and keeps them dry.

Haven't read the comments but what is your climate? Your coop should also be based off that. Also will you move it, clean out everyday or deep litter? Closed coop or open coop to run? Also what predators do you have? A overly priced coop of the internet a dog can chew through. Raccoons can...

Buy a rabbit cage or large dog cage depending on breed. I keep dog crates around for that and hurt chickens. If you want something wooden you can usually find free pallets and plywood on fb market place. Take some 2x2 boards and connect them, add chicken wire and a metal or plastic roof...

Its too late.. she died in my hands.. please send me some good energy for my other chicks.. I'm just devastated.

Guys I was just holding it with it in its nest because it had opened its eyes, all the sudden it stood up flung its self out and tried to commit suicide.. now its back in the broader but it keeps shaking its head which I keep stopping so it doesn't break its neck. What is this??!! Please I can't...

Hi everyone! My baby silkie have been through so much. It froze here and we lost power. I thought they would be ok but they are still weak. Yesterday they seemed like they were getting better, today my splash is so lethargic it can barely stand. The others are still not doing well but at least...

Haha yeah that would. A plastic Tupperware container from the dollar store would do!

Get a bucket with a lid. I'd how many chickens you have but lowes, home depot, wilco, tractor supply, ace, pretty much everywhere like that sales buckets with lids for around $3-5 if it doesn't sit over night it won't ferment which is what you want

I love hatching crossed chicks! Its always a surprise. I have two that I swore would be all black, just now at 4 months they have brown spots coming in all over! The dad was a lavender orpington and the mom a black sex link.

How long are you leaving it wet? Over night is good because they can digest it better, two days is too long.
