    Vaccine for Mareks question(s)

    I will say that in my experience with introducing any vaccinated chicks or chickens to an unvaccinated flock it is safe to wait much longer to introduce them since it can be a risky process due to the potential for shedding of the vaccine virus. I have seen this happen with IBV in the past, and...

    Newly Hatched Chicks

    Out of the remaining eggs, we were able to hatch and brood 6 healthy baby chicks who just needed a little more time!

    Newly Hatched Chicks

    No surprisingly not! They are my mixed flock. I have a Speckled Sussex, Bresse, Welsummer, Olive Egger mix in there with a Buff Orp Rooster. (We adopted them from a friend who was moving and didn't want to separate them.)

    Newly Hatched Chicks

    My first two hens are still in the nesting boxes but the floor nest was empty (minus a few eggs still there) this morning with the other 4 hens moving about and showing the little ones where food and water is. If that nest looks like no one returns to it to sit I will clear that one first and...

    Newly Hatched Chicks

I wasn't sure about moving their eggs up to the nesting boxes so I...

    Roo's or Pullets

    What could this cutie be?

    I went to an auction and bid on a lot of baby chicks, they had them all boxed and labeled as to what they should be... However it is safe to say that the "10 Barred Rock Pullets" box that I grabbed is indeed a mix of miscellaneous black chicks. Now that they have all begun to feather out the...

    New Here :)

    New member but I have been reading articles and post on here for months and after going to a local auction I came home with a box labeled "10 barred Pullets" that are definitely not Barred Rocks and probably not all pullets either lol. I finally got the courage to join in and ask for a little...
