    52 chicks

    Not crazy if you have the time and means to provide them the proper care (sufficient, secure space; feed; fresh water daily; health checks regularly; healthcare when needed).

    FBCM leg feathers at 6 weeks

    I just looked on Hoover's website and they actually don't say that they either have clean or feathered legs! I got her from the local feed store anyhow, and actually asked them to find the cleanest legged girl in there! But it is interesting because she had more leg feathers when I 1st got her:

    Oh what a cutie...and those legs!

    Hunched 1-month old, she ok?

    She improved throughout the day and acting quite 'normal' now! But i think I'll do the CORID anyways since it can't hurt, right? Is it ok to give CORID even if they eat a medicated feed with Amprolium already? The other 3 girls will be drinking the same water if that changes anything.

    FBCM leg feathers at 6 weeks

    My nearly 6 week old French Black Copper Marans from Hoover's Hatchery has hardly any feathers on her legs/feet. Does this mean that she'll stay this way as she grows and ages? Or could she still develop a lot. (I'm hoping it stays minimum since she's my 1st feathered feet girl and I live in...

    Hunched 1-month old, she ok?

    I did a quick check when I picked her up yesterday. And just did a thorough one...vent area, preen gland, back, and under wing. Looks good no mites or lice. Seller says she's used to a heat lamp so she might be chilled. She hasn't figured out the brooder plate yet. I'll move it over her...

    Hunched 1-month old, she ok?

    She's not really energetic. But not lethargic either. Like she will walk around and explore and eat and drink and scratch a bit. She preens and poos ok. But she doesn't run around like banshees like my other 3. Maybe she just needs time to adjust 🤞

    Hunched 1-month old, she ok?

    I actually had her separated in the brooder but she slipped through a gap because she wanted to join the girls on the other side! That pic is when she slipped out and was just over there eating their food haha. Right now she's in the brooder you see, and the other 3 are out running around in...

    Hunched 1-month old, she ok?

    I brought home a 1-month old yesterday to add to my flock of three 5.5-week olds. The new chicky (an Owlbeard) is so small. Like half the size of my other girls if that. She's eating and drinking well. And moves around fine but not particularly active. But she stands hunched like this. A...

    Is it safe to ship 1 single (1-month old) chick?

    I will ask the breeder about their shipping speed!

    Is it safe to ship 1 single (1-month old) chick?

    I have the opportunity to get a breed I've been looking for for a long time. But I can only get 1. They are in Southern California and would be shipping to Seattle. Is it safe to ship just 1 chick? She is 1-month old. As much as I want her, I won't do it at the detriment of her well-being...

    Fully Feathered?

    She's a Hoover's Hatchery Pearl Onyx! Generically known as Zombie chickens...White Leghorn hen X Ayam Cemani roo. I didn't intend to get her but the feed store didn't get the Mottled Java like they were supposed to. But I'm very happy with my Zombie girl!

    Fully Feathered?

    Like spend longer lengths of time outside each day and bring them in at night?

    Fully Feathered?

    I never quite know what 'fully feathered' looks like esp since their heads stay fuzzy for so long 😄. My 3 girls are 5.5 weeks old. Temps are generally highs in the low 50s, overnights lows in the low 40s. Would they be ready to go out full-time or should I wait a little longer? (Not in a...
