    Moiving Across Country~What breed will be best in our new home??

    Thank you very much, Michael. I will look into the Australorps. The chickens we have now are very sweet (Buff Orpingtons, Barred Rocks, Easter Eggers, and especially Welsummers). My daughter is so upset about having to leave her friends, and I want to find replacements that hopefully will end up...

    Rachel, did you go to the meeting? Have there been any developments with this situation? I live in an unincorporated area outside of Wilmington, Il and a friend of mine in town just told me it's not legal to have them in Wilmington, either! I couldn't believe this! It's a small, community with...

    Chicks seem incredibly ready to move to the coop - only 3 weeks!

    I have a very similar situation. We live just south of Chicagoland and we have 9 chicks that turned 4 weeks today. They have been outside a few times, and just like yours, they love it.

    Trying to get ready for a field trip, please help.

    My 9 chicks turned 2 weeks old today. I would like to start taking them on "field trips" outside soon. They are in a brooder in my sun room with lots of pine shavings on the bottom. So far they are only eating chick crumble and one hard boiled egg yolk per day (amongst all of them). If they go...

    What do think about my babies?

    So I have 9 baby chicks that are 12 days old. 2 Barred Rocks, 2 EE, 2 Welsummers, and 3 Buff Orpingtons. Of the 3 Orps, one has a ton of wing feathers and long tail feathers. The other 2 Orps have tiny little wing feathers and no tail feathers at all. (All the other breeds have lots of feathers...

    PLEASE help my little chick!!!

    I posted in the Raising Baby Chicks forum, but thought I'd post here too. One of my 10 three day old chicks has suddenly become sick. They were all doing perfect from the time I opened the shipping box, but suddenly this Barred Rock started staying still and not moving. She is standing rather...
