    Coop Brooding vs Indoor

    Make sure that they are the tiny zip ties for tiny chicks. Put them on loose and cut off the excess with scissors. Use your sharpi to color the block for ID purposes. I use more than one color on a band. One to ID the batch and one for the name of the chick. I use green on chicks that are...

    Coop Brooding vs Indoor

    They should be fine then. Just watch for panting. Chickens are like dogs in that they don't sweat, they pant to cool off. If you see panting then you might want to cool off their water and keep them in a shady place and maybe try damp towels hung around them to bring down the temperature just...

    Large Fowl Gold Laced Brahma, Blue Partridge Brahma, Buff Laced Brahma, Lavender Brahma, English Isa

    Hi Amy! I have been searching for Blue Columbian Brahma hatching eggs. I need 6 to eight of them. If you have them, how much are they with shipping and would you send such a small amount?
