I was wondering if anyone has been pecked on the legs by their chickens. They just started doing that around the same time that they began laying eggs. Could that be why? It sure hurts! They don't do it when they are free ranging.

Hi, I noticed that two of your chicks look alot like one that i was told was a BO, but now I know that's not true. The ones that have some brown on their wings. Does anyone know what they are? I can't find anyone that can identify her. Thanks, Sharon

Good morning everyone! Was wondering about how everyone deals with the adding of new chicks to older ones. I have 2 three week old Wyandottes, and 3 two week old various breeds. I just got 2 one week old(BO & speckled sussex) The 3 two week olds are fine with the newcomers, but the 3 week old...

Hi, I was wondering if the little yellow chick with the brown markings on her wings, she's in the feeder,(count 13 pictures down), is she a BO? I just got one yesterday like that, and was told it was a BO. Any advice would help. No one seems to know what it is. The gentleman said it was'nt a NHR...

It is going to be in the high 70's today, was wondering if I could take my week old chicks out for a spell, then back inside? Can they pick at the ground, or would i be subjecting them to diseases? Thanks.

Is it okay to give treats to 1 week olds and a 2 week old? When I go in their brooder I'd like to offer a treat so they'll become used to my hand. The barred rock is very friendly, the 2 wyandottes are'nt so sure, and the mystery chick is somewhat friendly.

I was told that the one in the middle is a BO. I'd like to know before I call the seller tomorrow. I've never seen wing markings on a BO.

Would someone be able to tell me if the yellow chick is a BO. The man that sold her to me said she was, now I'm not so sure when I look around the website as to what everyone else is saying about their chicks. Could she be a NHR? I really wanted a BO.

What's up with my last sentence! I think I need sleep now!

There is still another chick I need to post a picture of. She looks like the one on the right.

Hi from NY. I think I sent you a reply, but to your e-mail. I'm new at this! I saw that you got your chicks at MPC. I have ordered 6 from them as well, coming May 16th. Would like to follow your babies progress seeing that ours will only be four weeks apart, and are from the same hatchery. Hope...
