    Chicken grit

    How will I know if the chicks are getting enough grit? I put a separate bowl of grit in they coop for them but it doesn't look like it gets much attention.

    Good treats for baby chicks?

    I have offered my chicks (7 weeks old) treats like yogurt, strawberries, blueberries, spinach and even Jerusalem crickets that I find in the garden. They always run away screaming or just let the fruit wilt. They got nuts over blades of grass though. All they want right now is grass.

    2018 Newbie Chat!

    Just wanted to share a story... A couple of nights ago, I was just watching the chicks do their thing in the run and one (Vonita) was making a noise I hadn't heard before (I'm still a newbie) and stomping around. She's the bossy one of the flock so I didn't pay much attention but a few more...

    ➡ POULTRY FEED COMPARISION CHART (Feed brand NAMES needed)

    Yes, that’s the correct brand. It’s a local company so I’m not sure how widely distributed it is. I got 50lbs of organic chick starter for $32.99. The non-organic was $21.99 for 50lbs. Let me know if you need more info than what’s provided in the pictures.

    Which breed?

    I was just reading through a thread with a debate about Araucanas vs Ameraucanas vs Easter Eggers which made me curious about the supposed Ameraucanas I got from a farm supply. From what I've read on BYC, there's no way I got the Ameraucanas I thought I bought. What's your opinion? I got these...

    Does anyone in Sonoma County have a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter they would recommend? I'm planning a weekend vacation and need someone so check on the chicks and look after my dog.

    Topic of the Week - Moving Chicks Outside

    As a newbie to chickens, this is all helpful info. Thanks for sharing, everyone. My chicks are a little over a week old and before reading this thread, I was nervous about moving them from the house to the barn. Not anymore. They're going in the barn tonight. Is it possible for the brooder box...
