    Treats for young chicks?

    I started giving mine some crumbled up dried mealworms at 2,5/3 weeks too (afraid the whole critter would get stuck in their throats 🙈). Oh, and don't worry if they don't immediatly like a fruit or veggie, just offer it again another day. (cucumber was ignored the first time, now it's one of...

    Please help me feather sex my newborn chicks :)

    Not an expert, but my (as far as I am) educated guess would be that 5 & 7 are roo, and doubts about no. 4. But that's just on the development speed of the feathers. So wait a bit for others to reply ;)

    Our adventures at Chateau Plumeau

    No pics yet, it's stuffed with buildingmaterials now, but there's progress on the housing. The hwc is on the sides (except the doors, those aren't made yet), and almost all the edges covered with wood to avoid hwc sticking out or gaps in the seams. most walls of the coop are up, again except...

    My baby chicken chest is a little big I’m new to this so I don’t know
