    Adding more chicks/pullets to my flock

    His favorite eggs at the store are the contented hen eggs. They come in all the colors. That would be so much fun for him.

    Adding more chicks/pullets to my flock

    I am wanting to get a black Australorp. I’ve currently got some Americaunas/EE, a buff Orpington, a fuzzy foot one I think might be a Brahma or Cochin mix. Oh and I’ve got a micro chicken. I love my Orpington and my EE. My anericauna is a little skittish. And I hate my fluffy footed boy. He’s...

    Adding more chicks/pullets to my flock

    This is exactly why I came here. I was wondering if I should wait until next year. And yes I have the space for up to 12. But want to leave it at 6 so they’ve got more room in the run. I don’t necessarily have a time frame to add them. I worry with coming into the cold months about chicks. I...

    Adding more chicks/pullets to my flock

    He’s so cute!! And yes. That’s about the size of Georgina she is really docile. I worry about her. She’s ok with her friends for now. I caught one of the Roos grabbing her by her beak and dragging her while she shrieked. I put him in chicken jail.

    Adding more chicks/pullets to my flock

    4 is a good number. But one of those 4 is a micro chicken. Lol. I don’t even know if it is a chicken. Looks more like a black bird. And I can’t just have one chick. It would be too lonely. Which is why we added the 2 more instead of 1 when we realized Georgina was extremely small. She may end up...

    Adding more chicks/pullets to my flock

    Hello everyone! I’m in much need of advice from experienced chicken people. I currently have 6 chickens 10/12 weeks old. 2 have turned out to be roosters. I will be rehoming them as I’m not allowed roosters where I live. My dilemma is …… do I buy 2 new day old chicks? Or do I buy pullets around...

    I'm just sick, the dog ate my 2 chicks.

    Don’t beat yourself up! I left chicks in the brooder ( a giant card board box) left to go to my moms house and got a call from my husband 3 hours later. I had pregnant brain and forgot to put my dog out before leaving. It’s what we still refer to as the quail-pocolyps of 2015. 8 week old quail...

    Ameraucana chick not integrating

    These are the new girls. The feed store said they had the same hatch date. They had moved them to an outside pen with lots of girls. I wonder if it was just too much in too short a time. And this little white bird is traumatized. Seems like I just need to be more patient. And give more space...

    Ameraucana chick not integrating

    That did cross our mind. I said these girls are a lot smaller and less feathered than ours. They didn’t look as healthy as ours did either. I’m very sad but I have a feeling I’m going to have to let it go. And as a pair. It is so bonded to that Orpington and it’s freaking scared of everything/...

    Ameraucana chick not integrating

    This is horrible! Who knew chickens were so b!$@&y!!! They free range during the day. There’s lots of bushes, and her favorite is to go into the doghouse until 2 days ago where the other girls took it over. Mostly they are In two groups. My original 4 and the new 2. It’s kinda hilarious cause...
