    Exceptionally stinky poop from new chicken

    Hi all, I brought a new pullet home yesterday. She's in quarantine for now in a small coop in my garage. This morning when I went in there to check on her I was hit with the stench. It smells like the zoo on a hot day. (I'm in a cold climate) All of her poop looks perfectly normal. She looks to...

    9 week old pullet crowing?

    My 9 week old Blue Ameraucana has been crowing the last few days. I'm pretty sure it's a she... I got her sexed from a hatchery at one day old. She looks like a pullet. She's definitely the dominant one out of my four. She spends her days chasing the others around and chest bumping everyone...

    Chicks won't use the heating plate

    After raising it, I went back and checked a little while later and 4 little heads popped out from under it to greet me. :) That did the trick, thanks everyone!

    Chicks won't use the heating plate

    I had it angled lower in the back already but I'll raise it up and see what happens. Thanks for the suggestions!

    Chicks won't use the heating plate

    I think it's low enough... One chick hung out for a minute after the others ran out and I got this picture. Does this seem to be the right height?

    Chicks won't use the heating plate

    Hi everyone, I'm new to this so please bear with me. I have 4 three-day-old chicks. I have a Premier heating plate in their brooder and they are terrified of it! I've tried putting them under it but they run right back out. I've even tried to "trap" them under it for a few minutes so they can...

    Anyone else having babies shipped from Meyer Hatchery today?

    It was toasty in their box and the heat pack was still piping hot, so I think yours will be ok!

    I haven't heard anything either and mine still says they've arrived at the airport, which has been the status since 7am. I'm getting very concerned!

    The tracking is terrible. Mine went from shipping label created to arrived at destination facility. I called my post office and they said they'll call me. I don't have much faith in them due to previous experiences, so I really hope they redeem themselves!

    Illinois Quail Keepers

    That might work out perfectly, thank you! Where did you get your eggs from? I started to look into going the same route you did and was going to order from JMF. If you ordered from someone else, maybe I'll still go ahead with my JMF order and we can trade some birds later on.

    Illinois Quail Keepers

    Hi! I'm brand spanking new to this and plan on getting some quail this spring. I'm still in the obsessively researching stage but I figured I should say hi to my neighbors. :) I'm also in the suburbs of Chicago... unincorporated DuPage. I only plan on having maybe 8-10 birds for eggs. I'm...
