Thank you. I am not worried about eating fertilized eggs,I'm just not sure I won't know which hen he mated with when I want chicks.

So... I got a free roo today and already have 9 hens. I have no clue how to introduce him to my flock or how they may react. I also know nothing about how they mate, when they mate or what to do with the eggs. Lol I know I am ill informed on the situation but it just kind of fell in my lap. Any...

@ShayBaby Yea I was doing the same, when I went out to feed and water the chicks and dog this morning every one was mad at me! But I took them all some scraps and fresh water and they forgave me.

Luckily hubby built mine for mother's day/birthday but my girls are only 5-6 weeks old and cant go out in the rain.

Ugh this rain seriously needs to go away! My girls need to be in the grass!

Chicken run hubby put together for me for my Birthday/Mother's day.

Anyone getting chicks from Mt.healthy hatchery should read and share! http://m.wlwt.com/news/salmonella-outbreak-linked-to-tristate-hatchery/25895602?utm_campaign=wlwt5&utm_medium=Facebook&utm_source=hootsuite

Hello every one. My birthday and this Sunday and my husband bought me 2 EE'S and 1 barred rock. My barred rock has a name but I need help with names for the EE's ant suggestions? [/IMG]

Newbie here! I just got a barred rock chick for my birthday her name is Ember.

lol my mud room floor wasn't happy about it or my body from scrubbing the floor daily! I hadn't takin them out yet because hubby and I had to finish up the barn and It was a bit nippy at night. Come Friday they are out the door.lol

Thank you! They will be 5 weeks Friday and I seriously want them out of my house.

Do you all think it will be ok to put my 4 week old chicks in the barn? Im a little ocd and they are flying all over my house and crapping every where. The barn doesn't have electricity but their heat lamp has been as far away as it can be for the past week.

Thank you!

I also haven't heard or read anything about it being harmful if inhaled. At leasts not the food grade. My son has severe asthma and also has no problems with it inside the house.
