    M I Crooked Letter Crooked Letter...ahh, nevermind....Mississippi

    Hi, has anyone here from Mississippi or the Deep South ordered from a chick hatchery before? I have, and am expecting the little bundles of joy at the end of the month. I ordered from Cackle hatchery and I'm wondering how long did it take the post office to get your chicks safely to you...

    Please help me identify this chicken?!?!

    Could be an Easter Egger. I'm no expert, but a lot of them have greenish/slate legs like yours. Take a close up pick of its comb area and someone on here could probably say for sure.

    Chicken Hatchery Minimum Order Requirement Questions

    It's scheduled to arrive at the end of May. It feels like forever before we get them! However, before I chose Cackle, I saw that most of the hatcheries had wait times as long as July and August. So, I guess it could be worse. But it's so hard to wait! They aren't even EGGS YET!

    HELP - preparing for a probably power outage!

    If you have a way to make a fire (even a BBQ pit) or fireplace put a brick in it, heat it up, carefully remove the brick and wrap it up with a towel and place it in the incubator for heat. Repeat as often as you have to. I hope everything turns out right!

    Chicken Hatchery Minimum Order Requirement Questions

    I emailed them and they said that they could put the 5 silkies with the standard size chicks. But, when I called to order they said they couldn't do that because the silkies would get squashed. But the lady I spoke with was very nice and said they could put the 10 crested birds assortment...

    Help Sexing Silkies and a Polish

    So my only hope for a pullet is the Polish! I was so hoping for some silkie babies one day. I don't think the first silkie is a mix. The woman I bought them from only had silkie chickens. This one just doesn't have dark black skin. I don't mind really. The silkies were just going to be...

    10 wk old Polish Male?

    I don't know. Those wattles are kinda big and red. My 14 week old Polish that I "think" is a girl has no wattles at all.

    Baby Chicks and Fire Ants!!

    I don't know personally if this will work, but I read that you get a small container of honey, open it up and leave somewhere outside near your problem area. The ants supposedly will go after the honey all summer long and leave your plants (and hopefully chickens) alone. But I would still be...

    White Little Fella - Not Sure of the Breed, Not Sure of the Gender

    Try to get a comb shot, please. And what color are those legs? I'm no expert, but maybe someone else will be able to help!

    Help Sexing Silkies and a Polish

    I have some idea what gender they are, but would like some expert opinions. Silkie 1- Is 12 or 13 weeks old. He carries himself in a roosterish way. And he's much bigger than the other silkie. Boy? Silkie 2- 12 or 13 weeks old. Acts like a pullet, but I am unsure...
