Out of my 6 chicks I have one EE. She is my favorite. They are 8 weeks old now and are fully feathered. My EE and my Polish are still growing their beards. Today I noticed what looks like the beginnings of saddle feathers. All of my chicks came from My PetChicken as sexed pullets but you never...
My sweet EE, Opal, is 7 weeks and started getting her beard feathers this week. So far, she is the biggest of my 5 other breeds and the boss hen. Very sweet to me!
Don't you just love their plans! We did the same only enlarged it a few feet Added electricity and poop board. There are pics under my article about it. Good luck with your chicks. Mine are 5 weeks now and have been in the coop for a week. Everything has worked out great!

We decided to go ahead and install wiring in our new coop before we moved the chicks in a couple of weeks. Might be a little harder to work around in there later. Really happy how it turned out. We basically plug the coop in like an RV with a heavy duty 20 amp extension cord that we made. The...
Definitely! I use a regular waterer for the Sav-A-Chick probiotics and electrolytes. When I stop giving them that, I will eliminate that sloppy thing. I change it 3 to 4 times a day because of all the poop that gets in it! :barnie The nipples are cheap too. Found mine on eBay. 10 for $3.60...
