    Integration

    Ok, thanks. Would it be best to integrate the Littles all together in a few weeks first?

    Integration

    I have chicks that hatched 4/22, so they are almost 6 weeks old. I just acquired 2 two week old chicks. Should I keep the older girls indoors a little longer and integrate these two groups together before integrating with my older hens outside?

    Thanks for the info, I really hope this doesn't happen again. I'm going to be nervous every time I check on them for awhile:(

    New Hampshire!

    Does anyone in Southern New Hampshire or Northern Massachusetts have an extra blue or green layer female chick they'dbe willing to sell? I have 6 two week old chicks, but just lost my Easter egger hen and don't really have the setup to order another large quantity. I would rather add 1 or 2 to...

    I'm sorry, it's so sad. Especially when they are normal, happy chickens the day before.

    1 year old hen passed suddenly

    We have ducks too! Are they making loud quacking noises, or do they sound like they have laryngitis?

    6 New chickies

    All girls. 1 speckled sussex, 1 lavender orpington, 1 blue australorp, 1 speckeldy (our rare surprise chick), and 2 barred rocks (1 was extra at no charge) Orpingtons and Easter Eggers are good choices. We have those too, and we've been getting an egg a day from them, even through the winter.

    Medicated feed

    Hello everyone:) We will be receiving our new chicks from Mt. Healthy at the end of next month. We also have ducks and 8 chickens we purchased from TS last year. I was wondering if anyone could share some advice on whether we should feed our new babies medicated feed? Our other chicks were...

    Khaki Campbell vs Golden Layer

    I have one or each. They are both pretty skittish. The Golden is bigger in size, and her eggs are slightly bigger, and I believe they lay about the same amount of eggs.
