We live in a neighborhood and got a letter about our 10 weeds out front so my husband purchased weed and feed for the front lawn. I was assuming he was only using it out front. He got up really early this morning and went out and spread the weed and feed. He decided that he would just do the...
I have a 18 week red sex link. She was fine this morning but now won't stand and is panting. My husband laid down weed and feed all around thier coop and I believe that she might have eaten it. Could this be the cause? Is there anything I can do?
Right now I have 10 chickens. I believe that 3 are cockerels. They are about 6 weeks old. I am wanting to replace the cockerels with pullets/hens. I live close to Dunlap hatchery and they are selling all their laying hens for $6 or I can also get red sex links from a farm for $6 that are 7 weeks...
One of my chicks got out of the run. Finally found her. She has some dry blood on her wing but I don't think the blood is coming from her wing. She is also limping. What do I need to do?
I have a round feeder with holes all around. Then it has a bottle that screws into the middle. I have it raised on a 2x4. I fill up the bottle and they just get it everywhere. I don't mind all the food if they are eating it but it just seem to go to waste. I'll try to get a picture.
**I have started using a big lid underneath their food and it has been working great. My next question is how much do they need to eat? I am starting to have to refill their feeder everyday. They are now about 3.5 weeks and we have 10 chicks. I have enough food I just don't want to over feed.**...

Another one of the 6 with different coloring.
Group shot, I do have 2 California White Leghorns and 2 Americana's. The rest are the 6.
The one with the most feathers is in the middle facing the camera.
I got 6 chicks from a farm. They seem to be a barnyard mix. They were born on Easter. One of the chicks has most of its wing feathers and part of its tail feathers. The other 5 have hardly any feathers. I have read that one sign of roo/hen is hens grow their feathers faster. Is it likely that I...
I am still worried about the one chick. I see the others pecking each other but this one almost seems to run around attacking all the others. All the chicks will be happy and getting along and then this one will come and start pecking everyone. I got 4 new chicks today all about the same size...
