Hi everyone!
I have 8 chicks. One is around 5 weeks, 5 are about 3.5 weeks and 2 are about 1 week. I'm in Texas so we are averaging around 80 during the day and low of 65 at night. Would they be okay if I keep them in their new outside coop with a heat lamp at night starting Sunday? It's...
We just purchased 3 Barred Rock Buff Orpington crosses and 4 Rhode Island Reds. We need help sexing these chicks. The sellers also sold us a larger chick that they said was 1 1/2 weeks old. He looks much older and we'd like to get an age for him. Thanks for the help!
Yes, they are barred rock/ buff Orpington crosses and the lighter ones are Rhode Island reds.
The others just seem so much bigger and coordinated, I don't know if a friend would have it. I could try though.
Thanks for the help!
The dark ones are barred rock/ buff Orpington cross and the other 4 are Rhode Island reds.
I'd like to put a friend in with him but they are SO much more coordinated and larger than him. I could try though.

I'd like to put a friend in but the others are all so much more coordinated and bigger than him. I could give it a try though.
I'm am new to this. I just got 8 baby chicks from a local organic farm. They gave us 6 that seem to all be the same age but one seems really older than the rest and one seems half the size of the other six. I haven't seen him actually eat or drink so I've been giving him ground chicken...
