    Chicks (6 weeks old) suddenly dying, please help!!

    Your story was posted two years ago but it is almost identical to mine. I have about 30 (had) chickens and half were from Murray McMurray and the other half I incubated at home. At 4 weeks of age they were put together in the brooder in the big coop outside. It is a designated area for the birds...

    OMG my chickens ATE Mice, HELP!!!!

    I try to wear my boots out to the coop becuase of how curious they are as to how edible I am. When I wear my sneakers they like to untie them becuase the strings look tastey. The other day one of the pullets pecked the heck out of my ankle and it bruised and swelled up right away. I love your...

    A predator got into my first chickens coop. All of my Buff Orpingtons, Red Star, and White Leghorn b

    What a devastating loss. I can't even imagine the level of hurt! I know I would be camping out for a few nights, that's for sure. Did you ever catch/find what did this to your chickens? Every time I see a post or video with this kind of devastating loss I know it is a reminder to me to get my...

    Hello! Noob with chicken addiction spiralling out of control ;)

    I built a large coop and then got around to building a permanent brooder box in it. When the new baby chicks were 4 weeks old I put them in the big girl coop (in the coop's brooder box). Next week they will be 8 weeks old and get to join the flock. This will be my fist time integrating new...

    What's with the Chicken Addiction?

    I too am addicted. I've caught the chicken fever. I started out in April with 2 chickens from my first graders class project. Then 2 took us to Tractor Supply for several more. The kid's all lost a lot of interest when it came time to clean up but I became engrossed in them. I began researching...

    Mislabelled red stars?

    The earlier pictures I was thinking they looked a little like my Ameraucana chicks...but when I saew their big girl feathers had black in the tail feather tips..I immediately thought New Hampshire reds as well. Which are a great dual purpose bird that lays xl brown eggs. Surely they're a cross...

    anyone ever order from Purely Poultry?

    If your schedule is busy..order sooner next time. That's not on the hatchery, that's on the buyer. Availability does not work around buyers busy schedules so you have to pay attention and buy earlier in the season so you can set up earlier. I ordered 4 different breeds from Murray McMurray and...

    What color eggs does your chicken lay?

    Haha. Comical. Maybe they're hiding their eggs. When I was a kid we were having an Easter egg hunt in the back yard and I found a spot with about 6 eggs in it. One of our hens was laying under the bushes.
