    10-20 baby chicks hatched 3-13. RIR. Leghorn, "Easter Egger". Sexed females. Santa Cruz, California.

    I ordered too many chicks this spring. I have an extra 10-20 chicks that need to go to someone that will love them. They are RIR, Leghorn and Easter Eggers. They were ordered sexed as pullets but I'm pretty sure one of the leghorns is a roo. You don't have to take him unless you want him.

    Creme Legbar Rooster - Santa Cruz, Ca. - Hatched Feb 2014.

    I guess Creme Legbars are somewhat rare so if anyone can pick it up it is theirs. He's a good chicken. About a year and half old. Healthy. Free ranged. Very protective of the flock. He's a very popular with the ladies and will give you many chicks. He attacked my wife and she wants him gone so...

    Mama abandoned her chicks

    She left the brooder at some point yesterday and won't go back. She roosted on her perch last night. I shoved her in there this morning and she started pecking at them and grabbed one by the leg and threw it up in the air. Clearly motherhood is not for her. I hung a light for the chicks last...

    Mama abandoned her chicks

    Hi, Mama has had enough. She's not taking care of her three day old chicks. I don't want to set up a broader in the house if I don't have to. Will these things die at night if the lows get down to the upper 40's? What if I stick one of the chemical hand warmer things in box with them? I don't...

    Mites? Black stuff on comb. Also he has some kind of growth on his face...

    Any idea what is going on here? The growth is hard and does not seem to cause any discomfort when pushed on. This rooster fought off a bobcat and got beat up in the process. This growth showed up a few days after. It does not seem to be getting bigger or smaller. The black stuff might be asphalt...

    Advice for day old breed identification....

    Hello everyone! Spring must be here because my chicks arrived today. Of coarse they are all mixed up and I can't tell my Cochins from my Faverolles. Both are solid yellow and feather legged. Any advice? Also I have 2 Olive Eggerrs and 2 Easter Eggers. Any way to tell them apart even after...

    Corid in California?

    Thanks again everyone. Can you check my math? I have 4 cups of water and need to add 2.25 cc/ml of Corid = 16 cups of water and 9.5cc/ml of Corid? 2.25 cc/ml = Appox 1/2 teaspoon? Cheers!
