    Chicken droppings and dogs

    Not sure if this is the right spot to put this question.... I have 6 chickens that are in a coop/run most of the time, and I let them free range in our 1/2 acre yard for about 2 hours a day. I'm in the process of applying to adopt a 4 year old pug, and the owner is very concerned about the...

    Favorite

    My buff orp chicks and one of my easter eggers are very friendly and like to be held (they are almost 5 weeks old). I have another EE who wants nothing to do with me and will freak out if I go anywhere near her.

    DUST BATHS

    A few days ago I was letting my chicks run around my mudroom and my Red Star started trying to take a dustbath on the doormat. This made me realize 2 things: 1. Maybe I should put a dust bath in the brooder for them 2. I really need to vacuum my doormat So I made a dustbath out of a plastic...

    Chicks terrified outside

    I just put my six 4 week old chicks outside in a big dog cage with the tray removed (so they can scratch at the dirt underneath and eat bugs or whatever but be safe from hawks). It's a beautiful day 80+ degrees so I thought it would be the perfect time to introduce them to the outdoors. They...

    What happens if some one holds baby chickens a lot ?

    Just a suggestion, I find that the folks here are better able to respond if you can provide some more info along with your question. What are your concerns exactly?

    Got my fuzzy babies!!

    So cute! And great idea to attach the light to a rocking chair- I'm totally stealing this idea :) I've been looking all around for something sturdy enough to attach my light to when I raise it to the next level. Duh, a chair was right in front of me the whole time!

    Painted Brooder

    I asked a guy who works as a builder at my company for some scrap wood for me to make a larger brooder box for my six 3 week old chicks (currently they are in a dog crate and they are running out of room). He went all out, and made me a 3x4 box with a chicken wire top and even decorated it...

    Have I been handling my chicks too much?

    I just read the article in the learning center about socializing baby chicks and I'm a little freaked out.... my babies are 4 days old and I've been picking them up and holding them from day 1 (if they seem distressed I put them right back in the brooder). The article goes into detail about...
