That’s totally okay! Instead of just tapping the “👍🏼like” button, try holding it for 1 second, then the other reaction options should pop up. Good! The days where I am have been getting up in the low 90s (Fahrenheit) so I now leave my chicks’ heat lamp pff during the day and on at night. They...- pecky33

Raising My First Batch of Bantam Chicks!
I love Easter Eggers, and yours sound like really fun varieties!!! No mine are not all female. I got straight run. Out of my 3 Japanese it looks like I have 2 cockerels. 1/4 of my D’Uccles is surely a male And it looks like maybe all 3 of my Cochins are girls! (No idea what any of my Silkies...- pecky33

Yay! @Senorahoney I’m so glad your chicks are happier! I would’ve never thought their heat system would bother them so much but I’m relieved that you figured it out! For my babies, they are doing wonderful and continuously growing!!! Today I fed them some fresh-picked greens and this is the...- pecky33

Yes! One of the primary reasons I chose tent! It works great so now they’re not scared of me coming in with them! Yeah, I make toys put of whatever scraps I have around. Also sparkly necklaces are good attractions! Yeah, no surprise they hid from the egg, although kinda sad for us. I put grit...- pecky33

Raising My First Batch of Bantam Chicks!
Now, I have never kept chickens in the house myself before, but everyone I’ve heard from say chicks are VERY dusty! I can’t really tell because my chicks are in the barn which is already very dusty. But they do LOVE their chick tent! (And there is a bit of dust on the tent but we’re throwing it...- pecky33

First off, can you share some pictures? 😁 Also, how large is the age gap between the standards and the bantams? Also also! Are particular breeds doing the screaming? My Millie Fleur D’Uccle chicks were/can be (now 3 1/2 weeks old) very loud and complain-y! This is my first time having this...- pecky33

I say there are never too few (or too many LOL) chickens to be called a flock! I think this is completely normal behavior for a chick because mine did this too! So this probably doesn’t have to do with the “adding more chicks” scenario. They like testing put their wings (even super young!). I...- pecky33
