    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    Hi Everyone! I haven’t posted in quite some time but I still enjoy reading posts. I have a flock of 8 right now with a brand new Mama. She has one adopted chick and one of her own. Unfortunately, we think she may have killed two of her chicks when they hatched. I don’t know why?? But she’s...

    Helicopter Mama

    Hi All, So, new chicken mama here. My family and I acquired a wild baby chick a few weeks ago (many wild chickens in hawaii). We’ve been raising her at home, she sleeps in a habitat we made for her that’s currently in our house. We may be spoiling her....can chickens be spoiled? One of us, my...

    Lump on chickens breast

    I’m reading about crushed oyster shells. Is there a brand that is recommended? When she eats worms and bugs outside, she does get some dirt mixed in. But maybe she needs more?

    Lump on chickens breast

    The photo isn’t great, I’ve just learned that it may be her crop from free ranging all day. I had no idea chickens had a crop that stores additional food!

    Lump on chickens breast

    After doing some research last night, I learned about a chickens crop. It may be that, she free ranges most of the day and we’ve also been helping her find worms. Maybe it’s too much food in addition to her chick starter? I will say, yesterday, the day I noticed the lump, she had free ranged...

She’s been primarily free ranging in our yard and staying in her brooder at night. We take very good care of her. She just came inside the house for evening and I noticed a lump on...

    Silkies and “wild” chicks

    Where we live, there are tons of wild chickens who roam the island and plenty dogs that kill them. This chick wouldn’t stand a chance in her own.

    Silkies and “wild” chicks

    We were at the beach and saw a dog chase a Mama with her chicks (I’m not sure how many she had). My friends son saw the baby chick alone on the road with cars coming. He picked her up and looked for the mama hen but couldn’t find her. We all waited around for awhile but she didn’t come back. We...

    Silkies and “wild” chicks

    Ah, good thought. What would I do then? I would like to add more chickens as our plan was to have egg layers. Then we found this baby chick and my boys wanted to keep her.

    Silkies and “wild” chicks

    Hello, Newbie here 👋 We have a wild chick we found two days ago. I’d like to get more chickens. I found someone nearby who sells silkies. Should I be concerned at all about two different breeds getting along as chicks? Thank you!! Photo of our current chick.

    thanks so much! I’m definitely interested in learning how to set up and care for our new chick. And also get a few more so she has some friends. I know someone selling silkies but I’m not sure if they’ll get along?? I’ll look for the answer here 😊
