This was an informative article with great illustrations, specially for the first time chicken owner. Thank you and keep articles like this coming!💕

We have our 8 month old Plymouth Rock hen who (on our first hot day) was suddenly limping, then mouth breathing, then pooping extremely watery and extremely odorous stools. We immediately separated her, (she was still laying eggs) She also, preens excessively when I take her out of her dog...

Great information. I am a new chicken owner and all information is so important and helpful. I received my very first egg on Thanksgiving morning! :-). A double yoked egg too. This is an extremely helpful article! Keep them coming!:)

Very insightful information, Especially for a new chicken owner. I do particularly like the idea of using sand as a base for a cleaner Coop and nesting box. What do you feel about the nesting pads? I bought some, for when The weather starts to get more rainy and cold. Thanks again for the...

Excellent advice for first time chicken owners; thanks!

ok great! Thank you so much. This has been tough but I'm not going to give up.

Here's the updated photo's if some folks haven't seen already. 5.5 weeks (although none have crowed yet lol) Have just gotten some BYC ( appreciated) advice but.....soooo disappointed. Looks like I only have one pullet. :-( Photo #6 (0153).

With one hen; what would be your advice on where to get 2-3 other hens about the same age and how would I introduce her to the new members? Sooooo Disappointed. But appreciate all of your time and help with figuring this out.

I was hoping that 0154 and 0150 pics (besides the 0153) were also pullets; I figured the rest were roos.

ok; had one of my family members help me; finally got individual pictures of each of them. Hope this finally helps to figure it out. Thanks again.

I'll try to get individual pics today; thank you.

I posted when the chicks were 3 1/2 weeks old with the same question and photos - I was asked to repost about this time. I have nine chicks. Like I said in my post, I may have some chicks that are in more than one slide (photo); they are very active. I have a total of nine chicks. I am...

Hello Everyone. I have updated pictures of the chicks; they are about 5.5 weeks old. They are so active; so I apologize for not numbering them. I did, however, number the slides (but took out slide #19 - too blurry). There may be a few chicks in more than one photo. I am thinking I may...

Sorry about the loss of Mr. Rupert.

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Good Afternoon; my name is Christine. Absolutely :-) I received my chickens about 3 1/2 weeks ago and posted my first post just a day ago and everyone has been wonderful! (2) How many chickens do you have right now? Nine...
