    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    Currently growing 8 French Black Copper Maran chicks. Hatched 14 chicks 5 weeks ago, trying to decide which of the 14 i'm going to give away. Trying to figure out male of female of these 14, building safe containers to put in current run so the old hens will get to know the little one when I put...

    Purina Start & Grow Medicated Crumble

    Is it ok to feed a 2.5 month old chicken Purina Start & Grow Medicated Crumble if the chicken has been vaccinated against coccidiosis? I was told to buy this feed by someone that gave me some chickens and sure enough 1 of them got sick, so I treated her with Corid. After a week of treatment I...

    I was given these 8 chickens.

    The issue is that I live in a neighborhood and I don't want a rooster waking up these city folk at the crack of dawn. LOL. I actually get up around 4am everyday, but the neighbors might complain or I'd keep him. I'm guessing the ones without any comb are going to be hens, correct?

    I was given these 8 chickens.

    I was given these 8 chickens by a person that raises Black Copper Marans. He told me that 7 are BCM pullets and the White one is a Leghorn. I have 1 of them in isolation because it was not acting right. I'm treating it and the others with Amprolium. It has diarrhea, stood around with eyes closed...

    Hello, I've just recently built my own "chicken tractor", I say "tractor" loosely because it probably weighs 300-400 lbs! I wanted my girls to be safe and secure. I can move it, just takes me some effort. I have a friend that gave me 8 pullets that he said are around 3 months old. They are...
