    Help sexing 4 week old Buff Orpington, Barred rock, Ameraucana, and Speckled Sussex

    I was pretty sure he was a male too. His personality is also very different. Is there any hope he could still be a female? I'm not sure when to start looking for a new home... Thanks for your help! The order got slightly messed up when posting. We only have one of each breed I put two pictures...

    Help sexing 4 week old Buff Orpington, Barred rock, Ameraucana, and Speckled Sussex

    Hi! Any help is greatly appreciated. We got them as day old sexed pullets but I know it's not 100%. Is 4 weeks late enough to tell? Unfortunately if we end up with a roo we will need to re home them. One of them in particular is concerning me with the behavior and comb so I thought I'd ask the...

    Mama Heating Pad in the Brooder (Picture Heavy) - UPDATE

    When do you think it’s ok to take away the heating pad? They aren’t using it hardly anymore during the day but have been going under at night still on the lowest setting. I have a friend with eggs hatching on Sunday though and I was wanting to share it with her. They are 4 weeks old as off...

    Mama Heating Pad in the Brooder (Picture Heavy) - UPDATE

    Thanks! That is super helpful. Did you use the hardware cloth to add extra protection from predators?

    Mama Heating Pad in the Brooder (Picture Heavy) - UPDATE

    Thank you so much for your response! Yeah that’s also what I’m a bit concerned about. I live in North Carolina and I’m getting them the first week of March. I’m planning on building this coop and might do the winterization they recommended closing off one of the wire sides right away depending...

    How big is too big to brood babies outside? Do you need to confine them to a smaller area at first to keep them from getting lost? They will be two days old we are getting them from a local hatchery. Coop would be 8’ by 12’

    Mama Heating Pad in the Brooder (Picture Heavy) - UPDATE

    Thanks for the info! I’d actually ordered that one too but was looking at the description and in some places it says it has an auto shut off… did you find that to be the case? When did you buy it?

    Mama Heating Pad in the Brooder (Picture Heavy) - UPDATE

    Hi! This is quite the thread. Looks like a great method. I just have a few questions that I couldn’t quite find. I’m sure it’s out there somewhere but is a 12”by15” heating pad big enough for 6 chicks? Also I’m planning on building a hoop coop and was thinking about possibly putting them in...
