    questions re treats

    my pullets are just 9 weeks old and while I've given some treats, I've noticed they are very picky. Perhaps its just that they are too young or maybe I have a lot of vegetarians, lol. I tried an ear of fresh corn. They totally ignored this. However, they love canned corn. Kale seems to be a...

    North Carolina

    I am in Beaufort County. Anyone else close by? I have 14 little chicks that are 8 weeks old, mixed rare breeds. I'm not sure about a couple of them as I bought these from a hatchery as package deal, just rare breeds, which means whatever wasn't previously ordered or basically "left overs" I...

    What treat did your chickies get today?

    Today was a wonderful day for my chicks. They were introduced to their permanent home. They are out of the brooder pen and in the hen house! They loved being able to roam around in the coop. Even though we have taken them out almost everyday and let them play in the chunnel, it was a certain...

    Cochin Thread!!!

    I am a new chicken owner. Ordered a collection of rare breeds and in that order received two cochins, a blue (Cookie) and a chocolate (Betty Brown), both females. Both are 8 weeks old, but Cookie is HUGE while Betty is smaller. I will take pictures soon.

    Wyandottes?

    These pics were taken thru the chunnel so quality is not the best. I believe these are wyandottes, but it is a wild guess because as previously stated I am knew to this. Can anyone advise?

    Ameraucana?

    I am unsure if this is an Ameraucana or not. Her head is reddish with a brown speckled body. Was told that she is an Easter Egger Any help appreciated. I do know that I have a blue Andulusian and a Polish, although I am not positive of her color yet. She appears to be buff, or a lace bluff...

    Chicken Wranglers

    Our coop isn't quite finished and our little flock is getting crowded. Today we built a temporary pen so they could get outside and play. The chicks had a ball, running, flying, having dirt baths etc. All was well until time to come inside. This is when we realized out mistake. The pen was...

    Hi from NC

    Happy to find this group as I have recently began "keeping chicks". Purchased a small flock of 14 rare breeds from MPC. Hubby has converted the old pump house into a hen house and we are now working on the chicken yard. Love to recycle, upcyle and re use, as our hen house shows. Pics at a...
