Thank you so much! This is my first flock and I lived in the city before this (with the dog as well) so all of this is new and I was absolutely destroyed when I found the chicken on the ground. I guess I’ll have to grow some tougher skin since things like this happens a lot with livestock. My...
Hello, I have 11 chickens that are about 7/8 weeks weeks old and I also have a golden retriever dog. When we first got the chicks at first I only had one I hatched and I had her around them all the time since I was home all day and she was too. She would always be around the brooder and shower...
Hello! Unfortunately only one hatched, I’m not sure what happened with the rest but we got one. I ordered a few online the day I found out they didn’t make it and they’re doing great. They got along very well. They’re around 7/8 weeks now. I actually had an unfortunate event today my golden...
Great thanks! I weened them off all week and I’m planning on taken it completely off sometime today or tomorrow! I’m gonna see how they do and then move them outside. It’s actually pretty warm outside it’s like 79° in the day time now so I think they should be more then fine. They’re fully...
Hello, I have rirs’s one is around 6 weeks and the rest are 5ish weeks. The one that is 6 weeks is fully feathered and the rest are almost fully feathered but still have some down on them. Once they are all fully feathered will they be okay to be outside? I live in New Jersey and the weather is...
Hello, I live in New Jersey near the coast. The lows right now are in the 40s. So you’re saying I should still be moving them out at 6 weeks? The lows can get to mid 30s at night and it’s only fall.
Hello! I recently got 10 chicks shipped to me and they’re around 2 weeks old right now I also have one chick that is 3 weeks old and I thought I would be able to put them in their permanent coop this winter before it gets cold but it’s getting cold here VERY fast and it’s gonna be a very snowy...
I’ve been also calling him and he lol i just kinda have a feeling that it’s a boy. He unfortunately does not have any friends right now he is what we’re calling a miracle chicken because he hatched on day 19 and was the only one to hatch out of 9 eggs we incubated. We have some other chicks on...
I had 9 chicks and lost 2 in early stages and then one hatched a few days ago (day 18) but no others did. Today was day 21 and none had still hatched. My neighbor who has hatched chicks told me to check them with a flashlight again so we did just now and saw no movement in any of them. The one...
