    Recovering chicks on the edge and not learning how to eat or drink for themselves?

    I ordered the same exact rare chicken 10pk from Tractor Supply and it has been a nightmare! They arrived Thursday and I have lost 5 so far. I ordered 25 from Murray McMurray, which arrived Friday. Four were dead when I picked them up from the PO. Since Friday 3 more died and I have one...

    What's wrong with feed store/hatchery chicks this year?

    I'm so sorry for your losses!! I'm in NH and I just had two batches of chicks delivered from two different hatcheries - one Thursday during a snow storm, and one Friday during single digit temps. I've lost 4 from the first batch, 6 from the second and one currently in my bra because it's tiny...

    The ‘I’ve Got The COVID Shot Club’!

    Thank you!! I honestly am open to any arguments for not getting vaccinated and definitely feel that it is a personal choice. However, hearing reasons that have been debunked by science I feel obligated to give accurate info! Take care, Patty

    New to raising and seeking help.

    Congratulations on your new chicks! It would help if we could see pictures of your brooder, as well as know the size of it. If they don't have the ability to get to an area that is cooler (away from the heat source) it would be an issue that could stress chicks and cause open mouth/gaping...

    The ‘I’ve Got The COVID Shot Club’!

    Cons to getting vaccinated against COVID-19? Contracting the virus, spreading the virus, severe illness or death (of either for you, a loved one, familymember, coworker, stranger). Bothersome side effects (body aches, fever, nausea, injection-site discomfort, chills) for 24-48 hours post...

    Inaccurate - "Gene therapy involves altering the genes inside your body's cells in an effort to treat or stop disease." (https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/gene-therapy/about/pac-20384619) MRNA vaccines teach your immune system how to fight a pathogen. They do not alter your DNA.

    Looking for eggs

    I could definitely collect you some fertile eggs. They'd be mixed breed as I have 3 roosters an 7 different breeds of hens. Let me know! I'm in Hillsborough County NH so could possibly meet up vs have them mailed 👍

    Love it! I'm looking for a place that's a bit more rural and has more land - the only stipulation is that it has to be in NH or VT 💜 Nice to meet you neighbor!!

    Egg eaters!!!!

    THANK YOU for posting this question, as it is exactly what I came on tonight to ask about! I have 19 hens and have been getting 6 eggs a day after their winter break started. I figured they were hiding them because they free range but I caught a couple hens pecking, breaking and eating eggs in...

    First Time Hatching - Crossing my Fingers!!

    Super excited to try my hand at hatching! I had a chance to get some purebred hatching eggs locally for three breeds I've been wanting to add to my flock and jumped at it. Since it is my first experience, I didn't want to buy a pricey incubator in case I give up after hatch #1 (or, more...
