    Waiting to get chicks.

    Cute fat babies! We use regular pine shavings for their litter, I've never had a problem with them trying to eat it if you show them where the feeder is.

    Ideal Poultry v.s. Meyer Hatchery

    All of my chicks (that have not been bought directly from feed stores etc.) have been from Ideal. Most recently, my dad ordered a large assortment of bantams plus a few longtail chicks, ducklings and keets; they arrived on the 13th and unfortunately 5 were DOA with several others dying by the...

    Baby Goat Incoming!

    We weren't even 100% sure that our girl Molly was pregnant until last month, her udders swelled. Later (around Jan. 25th or so?) she started acting so unusual (restless, constantly pawing around, laying down and vocalizing) that we thought for sure she was about to go into labor...but by the...

    Aww no, I'm sorry for your losses :( I hope your other chooks stay safe from this illness, I've never experienced a chicken pooping blood but others on this forum may know what caused it.

    Hi, there!

    LOL my mom feels the same, she actually worried that our silkie roo's comb was a "tumor" while he was growing up, says she doesn't like silkies because of that and is disappointed that we ended up with so many in our bantam chick assortment...I think she's crazy though, they're still cute!

    Hi, there!

I definitely feel you on the dial-up internet...also live rurally and when we moved here a decade ago we had to have dialup for years because at the time no other services reached us. I...

    It was all a whirlwind!

    that TSC worker sounds like she was either way too overzealous or trying to hardsell you into buying more things, taking advantage of someone new to chicken keeping...im sorry you had to deal with that. For starters, I believe packaged grit isn't necessary for chicks on a commercial feed because...
