I ordered them from Hoover’s Hatchery. I will admit I didn’t do as much research as I would have liked but other than the initial losses she’s the only one that has any problems. Definitely going to order from a different hatchery next time I decide to get chicks. I’ll see about nutri-drench...

Hey there! Since joining a few months ago I’ve been learning all I can about my little chickens but obviously there are going to be things that I don’t know about! So, that’s why I’m on here to ask a question about my ”Littlest Buckeye”. I received 15 chicks at the end of July with 5 EE’s, 5...

Thanks! I’m keeping an eye on the Faverolle and everyone here is rooting for her. 🙏 I made sure to get breeds that would be entertaining and so far they’re living up to their reputations. That’s so interesting because my Easter Eggers seem to be the hardiest of the whole batch. They run...

I had ordered 15, 5 of each breed with buckeyes, Salmon Faverolles and Easter Eggers. I had one Buckeye dead on arrival which was disappointing and one of my Faverolles is having a hard time right now but other than that the rest are as energetic as could be! 😊

Okay, I’lll keep her in the crate with the heating pad.👍 She’s been drinking water with some help but it’s me doing most of the work. I knew this might happen when I got these lil suckers but actually dealing with it isn’t fun! I’ll try out the egg mash here in a few. Thanks for the suggestion...

Hey there! I’m from Gilroy and I just got my first batch of chicks this Friday. It’s nice to know there are people from around here on BYC! 😊🥰

Thanks for responding, I appreciate it. I’m so sorry to hear you experienced something similar. Its disheartening and hard not to feel at fault about it :( I haven’t given them any water without Save-a-Chick so far but today was going to be the last day I added it. I’ll make sure to have that...

I received 15 chicks on Friday this week and unfortunately one was dead on arrival, but the other 14 have been doing really well. The chick in question (a Salmon Faverolle) was actually the most boisterous when we finally got everyone set up in the brooder. Unfortunately, this morning I went to...

Oh wow! It sure is a small world, I’m in Gilroy. :)

🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣 Hi Everybody! I’m Allison and I’m really excited to explore this site once I’ve properly introduced myself of course. I am a bird lover first and foremost and chickens have held a special place in my heart for years. Unfortunately, my experience with chickens could be described as...
