    What is your chicks' favorite treat?

    Mine love "sticky rice" (cooked), they act like a pack of ravenous piranha when I offer them a handful of it.

    Cracked Corn as Treat for 10 day old Chicks?

    My baby chicks absolutely love (cooked) "sticky rice" as their treat, I only give them a small palm full (about a quarter cup worth split between 6 chicks) at a time though.

    One Week old Polish chick acting weak and tired.

    Has she been drinking? I just recently had a chick who was listless & tired all of the time, so I started dipping her beak & making her drink water every time I checked the brooder and after a couple of days she perked up & there has been no problems since.

    Got illegal chickens?

    It took me several years of petitioning to have my city ordinance changed before an attorney friend told me to check to see if there were any prior court challenges before I filed one myself, thankfully after a lot of searching I found a case that happened about 10 years ago when one of my...

    TSC "red pullets"?

    Quote: Yea I am sort of surprised how quickly mine are getting used to being handled, a couple of them even seem to be eager to be held, I am not sure if that is because they are "imprinting" on me or what, but I am enjoying it none the less.

    TSC "red pullets"?

    Quote: I would be careful when getting chicks from a feed store, not for health reasons but if you are after a specific breed. I wanted two EE but ended up with an extra Prod. Red and only 1 EE, even though they were both in the same bin. This particular Red did not look like the others that I...

    TSC "red pullets"?

    I stopped by my local TSC yesterday for the first day of "chick day" & the only chicks that they had were a tub of ducklings, a tub of assorted "pullets" and a tub of assorted "red pullets".

    4th of July weekend coop project

    Thanks Annie! I have really enjoyed doing this project so far, everything from sketching out the coop's design on paper, to measuring and cutting all of my pieces & screwing them all together, and (hopefully soon) painting it up real cute. It has taken me a little longer than I initially...
