    Can you help me sort out which is which?

    I bought some Meyer Hatchery chicks and these three have me confused. One is an Austra White, one is a Sapphire Jewel, and the other is a Splash Ameraucana. I think I know which one is the Austra White (Betty White, I think) but the other two have me stumped. What do you think? {as I wait...

    Cockerel?

    My first flock and I'm a little worried about my Green Queen from Meyer Hatchery Hatched on Apr 22 so 10 1/4 weeks old. My other 8 all have quite rounded saddle feathers if that even means anything at this age. Meet Lizzie (or Izzy?) Please excuse the photobomb from Norma...she MUST oversee ;-)

    Nervous chick mama (me), I need advice

    Again, thank you kind internet stranger! There is so much information about what these chicks need when they are just hatched and almost nothing about how to care for them at this "in-between" stage. BTW, Phoebe is just fine this morning, looks much cleaner and is eating, drinking, playing...

    Review by 'Happily RV After' in article 'Reasons for Tossing Out Your Indoor Brooder and Start Raising Your Chicks Outdoors'

    I love this article! So much wisdom in raising the chicks as much like a mama hen as possible. This will definitely be my approach with my next batch of chicks!

    Chic grit question

    THIS! I gave my chicks free choice grit in a small pan on day 2 and one of the chicks ate a lot of it. Sadly, that chick passed. She wasn't as energetic or outgoing as the others from the beginning so the grit may not have been the problem, but the next chicks I raise I will follow your...

    Hello from SW Washington!

    Winters here sure are different than the winters in Quartzsite! LOL We spent at least some time in Quartzsite each year but preferred crossing the border and hanging out on the beach in Puerto Penasco or San Felipe. I'm hoping the chickens will keep me too busy to miss life on the road.

    Hello from SW Washington!

    I am new to chickens, new to Washington state, new (again) to living in a house instead of an RV. My husband, two rescue dogs, and I have been travelling around the US (mostly southwest states) boondocking in our toy hauler for the past 8 years. During that time we checked off most of our...
