    Stopped returning to the coop! :(

    I suckered out and let them out this morning. I think I might try the treat idea. What's delicious to chickies?

    Stopped returning to the coop! :(

    Thanks for the input, Den. I do keep the food and water in the coop so they have overnight access. I'll try keeping them in for a week. I feel bad, like I'm punishing them...they already look restless! :(

    Stopped returning to the coop! :(

    Our two hens decided last week that their coop isn't as cozy as our open garage. Every night I have to put a chicken under each arm and carry them across the yard into their coop (talking to them the whole way, explaining why it isn't safe for them to be out where the coyotes can get them)...

    Where to find pictures of chicks as they grow?

    That's very helpful, Kate - thank you! Montana, they are the two in my pic (Lucy & Molly, we're calling them). Good luck with your little ones to both of you :)

    Where to find pictures of chicks as they grow?

    Unfortunately I don't know the answer to that, either. They were given to us as an Easter surprise (and what a surprise that was, never having had chickens before) and came with zero information, so we're on our own.

    Where to find pictures of chicks as they grow?

    I'm still desperately trying to accurately gauge how old my little ones are, and I've Googled and Binged and Yahooed my way through useless information trying to find a good collection of pictures of chicks as they grow. Anyone have a good resource?

    Who doesn't love a stupid question...

    Alright, I'll give it another go tomorrow and try it with lightning speed. I felt like such a fool, being outsmarted by a piece of plastic...lol :)

    Who doesn't love a stupid question...

    So I bought two of those screw-on feeder/waterers at TSC last night for our two chicks. I filled the jar with water, screwed on the top, and flipped it over, efficiently removing all water from the jug and pouring it into the sink. I repeated this process, twice, before giving up and offering...

    Age/Breed Guesses? First-time chick raiser!

    I'm getting pretty consistent reports on the White Rock, but little Red may forever be a mystery to me :) What do you think about age? 2 weeks? 3 weeks?

    cutest chicken names!

    My mystery breeds (though posters here are leading me towards a White Plymoth Rock & Rhode Island Red/New Hampshire Red) are Lucy and Molly...the newest members of our family and the first of the feathered kind!

    Lost on both age and breed! =/

    Wow, I didn't realize they may be THAT young. They do grow fast!

    Easter gift brings me here...

    Thanks for the info! I'm becoming accustomed to the idea now (what a shock it was to be thrown into this unaware) and am educating myself as quickly as I can. I don't want anything bad to happen to the babies!

    Age/Breed Guesses? First-time chick raiser!

    Thanks to everyone for your helpful advice. The girls are settled in in the basement in a large box, and I even put in some branches for them to roost on. The world of chickens is certainly foreign to me, so I'm sure I'll be around asking more questions!
