    Little Limp

    I noticed that she puts one leg forward when she sits, so this may be part of it

    Little Limp

    Hi, everyone. I just got a batch of 14 chicks from Meyer; only 1 passed and the rest are doing amazing! However, we have one chick with a limp. It looks like it's gotten a little bit better over the past week I've had them, but it's still noticeable. She can walk for a few steps and then...

    Do I go big, or go small?

    Oops didn't mean the first reply lol

    Do I go big, or go small?

    Yea, I think it was USPS' fault. The tractor supply near me didn't get their chicks until really late in the week either. Hoping the next one goes good :) I got the Brahma added and we'll go from there.

    Do I go big, or go small?

    I just put 2:2 together and realized a barred rock is in that "rock" family. That took me a while lol. That would make my order at 12, and I think that would be good to avoid the losses that could occur. This is a replacement order for my March 29th order, where 10/12 of my chicks were DOA.

    H Have you heard anything about the rocks? I probably will go with both. It'll be like a chicken-themed David and Goliath story in my coop.

    Coming from someone with a Brahma as their profile picture, I'm guessing it might be the way to go 😂

    I do have room, tons of extra space for the girls to run.

    Do I go big, or go small?

    I've ordered some chicks from Meyer, and I added a silver penciled rock pullet to my order coming on May 3. I checked again, and the dark Brahma is now available for that week as well. Both look similar, very pretty penciled pattern, and now I'm stuck between the dark Brahma and the silver...

    Pecking and Eating Eggs

    I don I don't give them it that much anymore. Have been cut off for about 3-4 months. It was just to give them a "snack" other than the crumbles.

    Pecking and Eating Eggs

    I'm giving them purena layena crumbles as their main food, and scratch corn for a filler.

    Pecking and Eating eggs

    I don't remember where I heard that from, but I remember it being said I guess! It's worth a try tho.

    Pecking and Eating eggs

    I have heard that putting things in eggs doesn't affect the chickens, but I'm okay with trying anything at this point lol. The fake egg idea does seem like a good one tho! Would a round rock work?

    Pecking and Eating Eggs

    Hi. We are having an egg pecking/eating problem between our 7 birds. We have 4 pullets that are just starting to lay, and 3 older girls (maybe around 3-4 years?) who still lay every now and then. I walked into our coop today to find 2 out of the older birds eating 2 freshly laid eggs in one of...
