    CaboodlesChicks Chatting Thread

    Thank you for the edited photo of my Hermione. It is so sweet. Poor Hermione died just the day before yesterday. My husband forgot to lock the coop and she got out and couldn't get back in and froze to death. I was so upset to find her there in the morning. Having this picture brightened my day...

    Cute Chick Contest Ends April 1st

    AWWWWWW!!!! This contest doesn't stipulate that it has to be one of this year's chicks. I vote that she gets to be included. She is adorable! I love it when they start getting their feathers and they stick out all over in crazy ways.

    Pullet Contest!!! Ends April 1st 2017

    I have always wanted one and was finally able to get one (after years of local ordinances not allowing chickens and then my first batch I had no idea what I was getting, ended up with a lot of roosters, but finally I was able to get a barred rock). My neighbor's kids call them Polka Dot...

    Cute Chick Contest Ends April 1st

    It's a good name for a chicken. It fits their personality. All my girls are named after female characters by female authors. Pippi Longstocking was one of my favorite books when I was a kid and knowing that she would be a red chicken, it just made sense. I bet yours actually has stockings! I...

    My golden comet, Hermione Granger, on top of Sparta. He didn't mind her jumping all over him until she pecked him in the nose, then he ran away scared. Pippi Longstocking, my New Hampshire Red.

    This one is so pretty! It looks almost like a phoenix. What kind is this? I am not familiar with all the fancier breeds yet.

    Ended Contest #3 Cutest Baby Fowl - 8th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong

    This is Mary Poppins at 2 days old, sleeping in my mother's hands. My sweet little Cathy with her feather duster friend, Heathcliff. Cathy was born with complications, causing me to have to keep her separate from the rest of the chicks. She unfortunately passed away today at 4 days old.

    Teila, That's funny about the name theme. I had rescued some baby mice and named them Simon and Garfunkel, well, one got out and came back pregnant. She had 3 babies that I named Peter, Paul, and Mary. My husband and I decided if we ever have any more mice we will name them after singers. The...

    HELP! Syringe Feeding Chicks

    I have been giving her the water with electrolytes through a syringe and she seems to take that well. I fed her a mush of yogurt, water, and pureed starter crumble as well as some egg yolk using an eyedropper and she ate using that, like a baby sparrow or something, not trying to peck at it, but...

    HELP! Syringe Feeding Chicks

    She still won't eat. The people at Tractor Supply suggested giving her electrolytes in her water and giving it by syringe, which I am now doing. I am wondering if she has a hard time seeing because she doesn't move when I go to pick her up, unlike every other chick I have ever had. She doesn't...

    New Member Saying Hi

    Hi everyone, I am Emily Fournier. Although my BYC membership is new, I have been relying on the forums here to answer my weird chicken questions for a couple years now. I have been backyard chickening for 3 years and have expanded from 1 to 3 coops. I call my flock the Book Club Farm because all...

    HELP! Syringe Feeding Chicks

    Hi all, I bought 7 chicks are Tractor Supply yesterday. One is really small compared to the others and chirps a lot. I noticed that she didn't seem to be eating or drinking, so I put her in front of the water dish. She started drinking but still won't eat, although the other chicks do and she is...
