    Bantam chicks

    Here's a pic of them: http://s1074.photobucket.com/user/gwk1951/media/Backyard%20Chicken%20Coop/SN852324.jpg.html What kind of Bantams are they? I bought them straight run so I don't know which are pullets or cockerels.

    Bantam chicks

    I got 4 one week old Bantam chicks yesterday. They are so tiny! I've had Bantams before but not to raise by hand. The momma hen took care of them. This time I'm the momma. Anything different from raising regular size chicks (RIR, and Leghorns) I should know?

    Adding ducks with chickens

    That's what I have, too. 3 chickens and 2 runner ducklings. I'm getting them to know each other by having the chickens cage next to the box with a window cut in it that the ducklings are in. The chickens are 5 weeks old and the ducklings are 2 1/2 weeks old.

    Integrating ducks and chickens?

    They are getting acquainted. My husband (Geoff) cut a hole in the side of the box that they're in and we put it up against the cage the chickens are in. Now they can see each other but not peck.

    Integrating ducks and chickens?

    We have 3 chickens (2 RIRs and 1 white Leghorn) 5 weeks old and 2 Indian runner ducklings 2 weeks old. Eventually when the weather warms up and they are old enough we want to put them together in a run. Are they likely to get along with each other or should we keep them separated?

    Funny, naughty ducklings with HUGE appetities

    I'm so glad you posted this. We have 2 Indian runner ducklings that are 2 weeks old. They keep getting the wood shavings intheir box all wet. I'll try your milk jug idea.

    shipping in two boxes? Confused

    Please keep us updated about your chicks. I loved reading this thread. I kept going to update my husband about new postings.

    Ducks and chickens together?

    We have three chicks (one white Leghorn and two RIRs) that are 3 1/2 weeks old. Our daughter got us 2 Runner ducks that will be 1 week old tomorrow. Are these birds likely to get along with each other?

    Pine straw?

    Is pine straw good to use as bedding for chickens? We have pine trees all around our home so lots of dry pine needles.
