We have a 10 year old boxer who was about 8 when we got our first round of chicks. He put one in his mouth one time...I think just to walk around with her. They all lay around the yard together. We just got a boxer mix amd he has to have a training collar on while he is outside and they are free...

We have not yet used vitamins or anything added to the chicks' water. They are around 3 weeks old, and I have friends that use supplements for the chick water to protect against wry neck. Can anyone suggest a good supplement or give any advice in this area? We are pretty close to TSC in Logan...

Thanks so much. It is definitely less today and she was even on the roost earlier, so I think she is okay.

I have a 3 week old RIR, Rosie, whose neck started twitching about 45 min ago. It almost looks like a nervous tick. She is in the brooder with 12 other chicks of a similar age who seem fine. She is eating chick crumbles normally....she eats alot, and she has not yet been exposed to anything...

Vinton is right next door :-) I am trying to figure out how to post pics from my phone....something keeps happening once I select the picture from my gallery. I don' t think that we have any mixed.....just 6 red pullets and 7 Barred Rocks (sorry about my confusing phrasing). I will post some...

I have the same issue. I can get to my gallery, but after I select the picture, it never makes it to the post.

We live in Rockbridge in the Hocking Hills. We just got 13 Barred Rock/Red Pullets a few weeks ago! Go Bucks!

That is a good question. We got ours from TS on March 1st. The man said he knew nothing about chicks and then I forgot to ask about vaccinations.....now they are between 2-3 weeks old, so I assume it is too late.

What age is good to start giving treats? We brought our chicks home (13) from TS 7 days ago. My husband thinks that they were 3-4 days old at the time, but we are not sure because the employee at TS said he knew nothing about chicks ;-) Thanks in advance! We are very new to this, but are loving...

I was wondering about TS bins as well. I was under the impression that pullets always meant female. We got 6 chicks from TS that was marked "red pullets" because we are wanting all girls to start, but I had a friend who said that there is a chance for a roo out of that batch because they weren't...
