    Mysterious deaths

    Very sad day in our household. Sometime between 8 am and now 3 of my 4 chickens have died. I looked out in the back yard and they were laying around the pen dead. I see no signs of predation. If it was a predator I wouldn't really have expected all 3 to be dead and not eaten. And the 4th one...

    Free ROO in SW MIssouri

    I believe he is an EE. He looked like a chipmunk when he was a chick. I'm not a chicken expert, very new at this. He's very beautiful. Long neck feathers, long tail feathers. I love him too much to eat him and want him to have a good home.

    Is this a roo?

    My chicks are about 8-9 weeks old now. I have one that I suspect is a rooster- he grew much faster than the others. I will post some pics. I can't have roosters where I live, so if you think it is a roo, any suggestions on what I can do with him? Thanks! THe next one, it's the one in the back.

    How do I get the bands off??

    I bought my chicks at Atwoods today, and they are all banded. How do I get the bands off without hurting the chicks? I tried to mess with it to get it off, but I can't seem to figure it out and I'm too afraid of hurting them. I will post some pics sometime so someone can tell me what kind I...

    chicks from TSC or Atwoods

    How do I know which ones are which when I go to TSC? Will someone be able to tell me. From my experience none of them know what they are doing when it comes to chicks!

    chicks from TSC or Atwoods

    This is my first time and I only have room for 5-10 chickens. I wanted to get them at the local feed store, but am worried that I won't get the breed I want. Since people who work there are clueless, what is the best way for me to know what I'm getting? I have looked at ordering online to be...
