    Please say hen...

    This is a 7 week and 2 day old mottled Cochin bantam. Roo or hen? Or too soon to tell?

    Mama to Meanie.

    That'd be smart. I need to do something like that. Thanks. Just a place where they could be safe.

    Mama to Meanie.

    Dang, I was afraid someone would suggest that. :) That would mean reintegrating them into the flock later. Phooey.

    My mother hen was wonderful for 5 1/2 weeks then yesterday it was like a light switched off and she is done with her babies. All normal stuff, ... but she is not just nudging them away or gently warning them, she is chasing them, pecking them and harassing them. Has anyone else experienced this...

    Rooster question

    I'm sure this has been asked and answered a hundred times but I can't find it, ...I have six chicks the same age (5 weeks) and only one has a red comb. Do they mature at different times, or could I possibly have only one roo?

    Mud baths?

    Glad to know. Thank you. I've never dried a chicken. Haha. Just use a towel? Or hair dryer?

    Mud baths?

    I knew chickens took dust baths, but I didn't know they took mud baths. Is this common? She was soaked and filthy and it was pretty cold out. She went to bed still kindof wet. Crazy girl.

    Oh thanks! I just can't get enough of them. LOVE how mom talks to them. So fun to watch them communicate.

    Hi everyone, I live in Cortez. (SW Colo, near the 4 corners and Mesa Verde) I have 1 frizzle and 2 silkies. Last month I ordered eggs on eBay and my broody hen hatched some and my incubator hatched some. I now have 10 baby Silkie, sizzle, frizzle, Cochins. Nothing cuter than chicks. We can...

    post your chicken coop pictures here!

    I have a Frizzle and ordered more (eggs she hatched) from eBay. They are getting their wing feathers and four of them are turning up. I'm so excited. Frizzles are my favorite. :). So fun to pet.

    My gosh there are some cute coops. Here's mine. It used to store firewood, but DH enclosed it for me.

    Are the baby chicks suppose to sleep like this?

    Wow, you can't buy an animal and not know what to expect when raising them. I realize this post is a few weeks old and I hope your babies lived but it is key to be informed before getting any life that is depending on you. :(
