    Field trips to the great outdoors

    I had planned to start taking the babies outside on short field trips next weekend, but the highs are in the 60's and they will only be 3 weeks old at that point. It won't be in the mid 70's until the second week of May, when they're 4 - 4.5 weeks old. Is that too cold for them? I'm also worried...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    It's in the 40's outside right now, so I haven't been out there, but we brought in anything in containers last night, and covered everything recently planted. Really hoping everything survives the freezes we're having right now. We're in western Kentucky and the weather has been all over the...

Once we got her cleaned up she has pretty much been eating non-stop. No more pasty butt issues though, just the...

    Just Saying "hi"

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Yes! I just got my first batch of baby black sex link chicks on Tuesday, so two days ago? We got them from Tractor Supply Co and so I'm wondering if they might already be close to a week old? (2) How many chickens do you have right...

    bald chick just born

    Thank you for the update, as one of my black sex link chicks has the same issue but seems happy and healthy otherwise. It seems to be something that happens with this particular breed, so that interesting. So glad to hear she will eventually grow feathers. I was already mentally preparing for a...
