    I don't know if this post belongs in this thread, but; In November of last year my 5 chickens were sent away by my dad to be killed. My dad didn't like them, but I loved them and even 6 months later I have not moved on. A deep melancholy has lodged itself in my heart and it will not go. I have...

    Pullets or cockerels?

    This is unfortunate, I was hoping at the very least I’ll wind up with 2 girls.

    Pullets or cockerels?

    They’re about four weeks old. Wyandotte, Rhode Island Red, and Araucana crosses. Please use names when referring to each to avoid confusion.

    Why are my chicks’ faeces watery?

I noticed this first yesterday, so fairly new. Brooder’s at 29°C/83°F. This is the best dropping I can find. Though it’s dried, one can clearly...

    Why are my chicks’ faeces watery?

    Most of my two week old chicks have fairly watery poop. Is this something I should watch or be concerned about?
