    Hen or roo?!

    Okay, so I’m jumping on the bandwagon and playing the game - “I know it’s too early to really tell but... do you think it’s a hen or a roo?” 😊 Below are my lovely sweet chicks, all about 4-5 weeks old, as well as my notes for each pic on why I think I might have a lot of Roos! #1 - Hedemora...

    springtime post your new chick pics

    To chickenlickin8: Okay, did you clean your water jug just before taking this picture?! This is my first time with chicks, hatched three - too cute! But their water is always a mess. I have mine up on a piece of wood but they just poop all over the wood and the water is still a mess. I just...

    Feeding two birds with one stone

    Yep, was going to say the same thing, They attack the grass pretty fast and remaining bits dry up and brown quickly. While I'm sure they'd continue to peck at the dirt and whatever little critters happen to still be in there, in the interest of actually getting my gardens edged I would probably...

    Feeding two birds with one stone

    I spent a good amount of time recently reading though BYC posts about how to get our chicks grass/grit if they don’t have regular access to it (e.g. sprouting seed in a tray and adding to coop). I now have lots of ideas and goals about what I intend to do for the chicks during the times they...

    ideas for our brooder *pics*

    Love your brooder pics! You did a great job. I am posting mine as a slight variation. I have never had chicks before but we got eggs for my 3 yo daughters birthday, and ended up with 3 little chicks! Anyway, I wanted a brooder for easy cleaning so I basically built a similar box with doors on...

    Brand new to chickens - one early hatch!

    Hi I randomly came across this site after I decided to get my daughter hatching eggs for her 3rd birthday. It's been awesome reading through the wealth of information here! I posted a reply to another thread on early hatching but figured I'd go ahead and pose the question here as well. I...

    EARLY HATCH QUESTION!!!

    I am having the same issue. I have 5 eggs in the incubator and got the first hatch on the day I was supposed to go into lockdown (but before I did). I was debating going into lockdown early when the egg was chirping but then it hatched! It has now been over 24 hours (about 30) and there looks...
