    Chick/Duckling Question from a Newbie

    I have a duckling/chick question that I was hoping to get some advice on. Is it ok to put feathered chicks (4 are 8 weeks old and the other 8 are 4 weeks old and ducklings (2 weeks old) out into the coop yet? It's in the high 40's-50's during the day and 30's at night. They are in the barn in...

    Great! Give me a shout when you are all hatched and I will let you know where we stand. We did get3 week old 2 silkies and 2 English Buff Orps, but I am still thinking of at least 6 more for this season.

    Thank you for the info! :) I was looking at Murray McMurry and their minimums were just too high, and they are not able to deliver until June! That was a little too late for me, I can't wait that long, not enough patience. :)

    New Hampshire!

    Hi All, I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for the best places on the New Hampshire Seacoast, Lakes Region or Concord Area to purchase pullet chicks? I got mine from Tractor Supply last year, but wanted to go the breeder route this year. Looking for Silkies, Frizzles, Lavender...

    Love the idea of putting plastic on the sides of the run in the winter! :). Thanks for that tip.

    Crusty Face and Dry Comb

    Oh really?!?! That's excellent news and thank you! I was worried that he had something incurable. Lol. Can you tell I'm a new Mom to these 16 week olds?

    Crusty Face and Dry Comb

    Can anyone help me out and identify if this Roos has any type of condition? I had a mite breakout in my coop this past week. I completely cleaned, sprayed and dusted top to bottom, as well as dusted all the hens (8) and Roos (2). No sign of mites on any of the chickens and no sign of lice...

    New Hampshire!

    Hi All, Strafford here! :) I have seven 6 week old production red chicks that I got from TSC the fist week of April and out of the 7 I have 2 cockerels. I am trying desperately to find a good home from them. This is the first time I have raised chicks and I really don't think I am ready for...

    New Hampshire!!

    Hi All, I am in NH as well, Strafford. I have two boys that need a new home. This is the first year that I purchased chicks and two of the 7 are male and I am not ready for that yet. I really just want to stick to the girls for now. They have been together since I purchased them at TSC...

    Moving from Brooder to Coop

    I have my heat lamp about 4 feet from the floor of the coop, so they can lay under it if they want to or move to the other side to get out from under it. I would think that a 60w bulb would give off pretty good heat at around 3-4 feet as well. Thanks MakelaNJoe, they are funny girls that's...

    Moving from Brooder to Coop

    It's still in the 30-50's here at night (NH), but I close the door at about 7pm and reopen for then around 8am and they are all waiting patiently for it to open. :). I still have the heatlamp on for them though, so it's about 70 under that inside. My coop is split, so 4 of my "big girls" are in...
