    Vet train your chicks

    Yes. I have a vet who sees chickens. I'm not sure how to clip their wings. They're waaay to young yet to worry about that yet, but they're trying to fly. 3 are a week old a a fourth is 9 days old. My parents don't trust me to clip their wings until I've been taught by a vet. I'm 31.

    Vet train your chicks

    Hi All! Does anyone else vet train their chicks? I stretch out their wings to be clipped, and flip them upside down for a few seconds a day to get them used to doctor's exams, so they don't freak out. I accidentally did this with my duck. I was sooo glad I did! I would play with her and...

    How cold tolerant are baby polish chicks?

    Thank you! I will be sure to keep them in on windy days until we build our coop and they grow up. Is 68°ok? I want to turn my air conditioner on. If I have the heat lamp on, will that still be ok? My room gets hot to begin with, plus a heat lamp at 90°right now. I have a stand fan only. They...

    Newbie here- what do I need to buy

    Your right, I've had ducks for years. I've never had chickens until last year, and she was an adult. I didn't think about shelf-life. Thank you! I will definitely look into Corid, as I plan on feeding them organic starter crumble.

    Polish Crested Question.

    I have a fenced in yard I plan on them playing in, I don't want them in a run. I plan on them sleeping in the coop at night. I'm going to clip their wings so they cannot fly. The fence is 6ft high. My last birds were house birds. I would take them in and out with me to garden everyday. That's...

    Polish Crested Question.

    Thank you very much for letting me know! I appreciate it! I'll be sure to buy an insulated coop! I don't have any birds yet. I'm still researching. I have a very small space for the coop. Will they be ok in a confined space at nights and rainy days? I used to have a Red Sex Link hen and a duck...
