    I am raising 15 Iranian Kabir chickens. They are the biggest breed available here in the Philippines. Weighing more than 5 kilos each. That's huge compared to our native chicken and the broiler. Hope they grow healthy. As of now, they are 4 weeks old... And this is how my brooder looks...

    Really bad condition chick...

    Guys, I just want to ask about a problem about abnormal chicks. Yesterday, 4 eggs hatched and one of the chicks looks abnormal. It's neck was stiff facing only one side. At first I thought the mother stepped on it, but I checked again and I saw that it's feet had extra toes. Basically, it's got...

    Do you think it's Marek?

    Did I say lesions? My bad, I'm sorry. What I meant was there are sort of like sores in the chicken's combs. They are breathing. Being paranoid with my chickens, I would like to believe it's Marek's. Going on 3 weeks now and they (the chickens) have shown no ill-effects with regards to their...

    Do you think it's Marek?

    Guys, I made a research on Marek's disease and found out a lot of things about it. Found that when a chicken is breathing, it's got Marek's. When lesions are present, it can be Marek's too. When health starts to deteriorate, it can be Marek's too. My chickens has the first two. It's been 2...

    Help! I don't know if my coop is good enough for my chickens... Ugh!

    Don't build a new one just yet. You've spent a lot already for a coop. And great suggestion, collect and enjoy things. Don't rush too much. You'll see that when it's done and you have nothing else to do, it will bore you. A little. Anyway, when the chickens starts to "own you", you'll enjoy it...

    What's next for feed?

    Quote: I would suggest you give them something starchy or sugary (not too much). Maybe add a small amounts of corn (yellow corn or maize). As I've read, these treats can make their body gives off heat. Trust me. Their body become heated that it is not advisable during summer. I used booster...

    My new (first) coop build, ***New pics***

    Maybe you can just fill it up with soil or block any opening with wood and then cover with soil. Make sure it's really compact that no rats can get in. It's usually the rats that get inside first and makes a house/hole, then snakes may eat the rats and stay in that hole. I'm not concerned about...

    My new (first) coop build, ***New pics***

    Ok, here's one suggestion that might help you. If you notice you have a wide space below the coop between the floor and the s. I would suggest you cover that space or there'll be snakes and rats and other killers under that floor. I'm not scaring you but I have learned that dark cool spaces are...

    Chicks old enough to go out? pics included

    I had the same problem too. To me the chicks looks around 2-3 weeks old? I can see that some of the feathers have come out. I suggest you take them out in the morning in their own fence when the sun is up. Let them scratch. Shelter them back before dark or when an impending rain is about to...

    Holy cow - snakes!

    Wow, you actually want to skin the snake? That I would never think of doing. Actually I do not hate snakes. Because we live in a tropical area, we do see from time to time these slithering killers. I usually just capture them and throw (not dead) them far away as possible from home, somewhere in...

    Aggressive chicks

    I guess they are just trying the pecking order. But there is blood in their little combs already. Just redness and little blood. But I think they have subsided already.

    Holy cow - snakes!

    I woke up this morning and sent out my chicks to the range. Left them feeds and water. I went back to my room, open my computer, and then connect to the internet. Just when I open my bookmarks to BYC, a really bad shout or squirm or chirp whatever it is but for sure it came from my chick. I...

    Aggressive chicks

    Actually they are already outside. I remove one of the more aggressive chicks but it keeps chirping, so I placed it back outside. They've got bread to peck, they've got feeds, water, grass and dirt they can scratch. But they seem to like to fight. I don't believe my chicks are a natural fighter...

    Aggressive chicks

    Got a problem since I started taking care of chicks. Going on to 4 weeks, the chicks seems to become aggressive. They started pecking each others comb or just running after another. And it's not just one chick, maybe 5 or 6 of them. I hate it when they do that. I'm scared they might die or get...
