    Trader Joes & Other Grocery Store Egg Hatching Club - Are you a Member

    sequoiacyclist- do you have any pics of your full grown supermarket birds? I was so surprised when I candled them and saw how many were developing. It was really just a for fun experiment, I maybe expected 1 or 2 miracle chicks to hatch. I got my "real" hatching eggs from the farmer, but lo and...

    Bay Area Meet Up/Chicken Swap - Sunday October 10th!

    How could I turn down the opportunity to spend some time with fellow chicken enthusiasts?? Sounds pretty neat, I will see how my schedule looks as Oct comes closer, if that is acceptable

    It was truly a fun eggs-periment for me! I still have all my little buggers from G&G market, they are about 6 weeks old now. Looks like I got 2 roos and 7 pullets, not bad!! They are very sweet, and so far are all white/light cream (some with the black markings, they look like dalmatians ). It...

    Can you sex these at 6 1/2 weeks old?

    I think 1 & 4 are definite pullets. 2 looks like a definite roo. The others are hard to tell, their comb size and color are in-between

    Chicks dying due to shipping?

    yeah it is a homeopathic remedy. around here it is commonly found in whole foods (do you have those where you are?) or maybe trader joe's or oliver's if you have those. it works wonders! we had a pullet who was mauled by a dog, half of her body looked like a raw (skinned) chicken and lo and...

    This One's Confusing Me...

    definitely hen...i'd say she is about to lay. i am not a BO expert, but as far as my experience goes, by the time roos are that age they have a very roo-ish demeanor. by that i mean more aggressive, more upright posture.... this one is shaped like a hen, and when hens are about to lay, their...

    Need advice about surviving chicken

    how sad, i have experienced this horror as well, my condolences. all you can do now is make that run more secure (we had to improve ours several times, each following yet another animal attack). is your chicken vaccinated for merricks? that is the only disease i know of that you need to be wary...

    Can you imagine

    that ad is unbelievable! there is no way anyone will fall for that (right??)! at least I hope not! rip-off to the max. i don't care how small the picture makes it look, there's no way more than 3 or 4 chickens would fit in there, and even that would be crowded.

    tired of skooting my birds from the coop

    I bet they just need more time to acclimate and get comfortable. our girls pace back and forth at the gate of their run until we let them out into our whole yard. I think yours will love their open space and garden you made for them once they are more comfortable.

    Locking chickens in at night.

    well they probably wouldn't wander too far, but predator-wise, it could be risky. i dont know anything about your area, but if there is any chance of weasels, raccoons, skunks....ANY animal that might sneak into the pen.... I'd close the door at night. This is coming from a person who has found...

    sick chick Please help

    is she eating much? we had a sick chicky and dropper fed it bread with water or omega milk. i think just getting it some nutrients might help it become more lively. good luck!

    Man's best friend, Chickens worst nightmare!

    i don't know about the whole "trained dog wont ever kill your chickens" thing. we have 2 very obedient dogs, but we learned the hard way that they are sneaky when we aren't around to stop them. our last batch of 12 chicks were all killed by our dogs. we started off with a fenced pen for the...
