I am going on vacation soon for two weeks, what do you think I should do? I have a flock of 15, (9 hens, and 6 young chicks that I keep in separate coops.) I have heard of chicken sitters but I have found none in my area. Is there an automatic dispenser or any device that can keep my chickens...

Pullet. I think.

Yes I reached out to parrot rescues, bu they did not have any under their care.

Thank you I will try that straw method as well

Looks to me like a salmon faverolle and easter egger mix?

sorry i did not clarify, I already tried doing that but they flip over

I tried putting a rubber band on their legs to help them stand up but they just flipped over.

Yes

I just picked up 14 chicks from ideal poultry and 2 of them could not stand up. One died this morning and one is limping around. I am afraid it is going to die like the other one. Has anyone dealt with this kind of problem? If so, the how did you treat it? Thanks in advance.

maybe coccidiosis. ACV does not clear out worms.

so that means 50/50 chance of females correct?

They only offered SR for Silkies

I never knew about this issue. Thanks a lot!

How much luck have you guys had with getting pullets when ordering straight runs?

Thank you.
