    PLEASE help! Chicken (and other animal) Ordinances - Residential Districts vs Non Residential Distri

    A note about trusting realtors... Our realtor was sweet and helpful and completely wrong, lol. She said animals on large lots were fine because "people in cities have them nowadays". We knew better, so I didn't bother trying to help her out. It's been years since I have been to Olympia, but I...

    Our mixed flock - too mixed to know gender?

    Thank you much, and I have a followup question.... the barred marking I am assuming is the give-away for the black ones. (Well, and the giant combs). What about #4, Mango? The comb is about the same as #3 and #7. Is it feather colors or shapes? Is there any likely parent combination that would...

    Our mixed flock - too mixed to know gender?

    This may be impossible because of the wide range of breed combinations, but if we could get an educated guess as to which chicks are pullets and which are roos, it would help my daughter's experiment for school. They are a VERY mixed flock mixed flock. Even their ages are mixed, we think...

    Starting AmproMed (amprolium), but double checking that there is no age/weight restrictions

    Starting AmproMed (amprolium), but double checking that there is no age/weight restrictions

    One sweet girl lost 8 grams in the past couple of days, and for the last 24 hours has pretty much just stood still and puffed out. She has been napping in our laps, wrapped up in a towel and kept warm, and we are keeping her hyrdrated. She still gets bursts of "Did someone get a treat and I...

    Could I estimate chicks age by feather development?

    Hi! I have been looking around here and on a couple other sites trying to find a way to determine how old our chicks are. Not sure if I am not searching with the right keywords or what, but I can't seem to find a chart with chick development after hatching. (Just lots and lots of embryonic...

    Very new to non-mammals, concerned about new color in chick droppings

    By the end of 24 hours after this, we finally were done with purple poo. Goodness, I could not believe it took so long for it to work out of their systems!

    Very new to non-mammals, concerned about new color in chick droppings

Chicks are all gaining weight, energetic, feathering out, etc. For the past three days we have seen what I would have suspected was berry stain in droppings in the cage. But it has been three days since they...
