We have 6 hens. 2 of them are bantams, and we feel sorry for the bantams, so we picked up 6 TSC variety bantam chicks this morning. I figured now was the time since we had the brooder set up for the ducks. Here is how I separated them.
Thanks for your information on the kid. He is back with his mom until weaning since we only have one. We will make plans to get a second goat by the time he returns.
TSC in my area, CA, gets their chicks from a hatchery in NM. I googled it and I found privett hatchery. I would check their website to see which looks like yours. I'm doing the same for my 6 new bantams.
I have a strange question. My wife has wanted a pet goat for a while, and I was out buying a rooster and the seller of the rooster had a bunch of goats. One had kids but she was supposedly a half/half goat sheep. The father was a boer goat. I picked up the kid and brought it home because my kids...
I bought ten from efowl.com. They shipped from Metzer, I believe. eleven shipped, and three died. For some reason USPS took 3 days to make a 3 hour drive. efowl customer service was excellent! I got a refund/store credit on the dead birds.
you could try leaving the chickens in the coop for 24 hours. Some birds take a while to know where home is. My guineas had to be cooped up for weeks before they found home. They still try to negotiate with me about where home is.

I dove in head first with an order of 5 Pekins and 5 rouens. 4 females and 1 male each. My kids are going to love them. It's a great excuse to build a pond too.
I have guineas, Rhode Island Reds, Delaware, American Game Hens, a Partridge Wyandotte, and an Olde English Game Hen. My eggs range in size, so I can't tell which may be guineas.
I said misery because I could tell he was in pain. I made the mistake of leaving him in a coop with my injured Delaware hen while I went to the store to get disinfectant. By the time I got back, the hen had chewed him up so bad that he couldn't walk and his backbone was exposed. I had to put...
My puppy got a hold of one of my guineas. It looks to have peeled some of the skin off the back and don't see any damage to the muscle, and it gets around fine. I am thinking that I will get some animal disinfectant and spray it on there. I've heard of this but I haven't used it before. Should I...
