    Raising Pullets to sell,Have you done this?

    My husband and I do this! We buy 15 chicks online (they send us at least 16 each time) so they cost about $60 from Murray McMurray hatchery with shipping. We do not get them vaccinated but we do get the electrolyte solution. We got them a large baby pool to brood in and have to replace the $10...

    Meat chicken logistics

    So my husband and I currently raise meat rabbits and have several hens for eggs and I would like to start raising chickens for meat. What I value: I am a huge fan of self-sustainability. I try to limit myself to what I can grow or raise and I purchase only what I can't grow myself to feed my...

    Review by 'madisonjh95' in article 'Integrating new birds at 4 weeks old'

    I am super scared to do new things and there may be 1000 better ways to do things but I've always done what works! A lot of time my control freak side makes life harder and just gives me more to stress about and more chores to do!! I have a few one-week old chicks now so I will DEFINITELY be...

    Thank you. My husband says she’s starting to chirp a lot and will squirm a little bit now when he picks her up so maybe she’s starting to be a little more alert?

    Week old baby chick breathing hard and won't eat or drink):

    I have four, week old baby chicks. They were all just fine yesterday but this morning I found one on the far side of the coop away from the light all sprawled out and breathing really hard. They're all pretty skittish but she didn't even flinch when I went to pick her up. She tweeted a little...

    Is my day old chick fixing to die???

    I’m sorry, I said that in a confusing way. I got 9 one-day-old chicks. They’re not 9 days old I have 9 of them. So they were in transit over 24 hours and there were 9. There was nothing in the box
