    "Ugliest" chicken contest

    OMG! Those are really gross... and I really want one. Banjoe, will you ever ship eggs? I may have to risk the wrath of DH and buy a bator.

    Aggressive chick - Edit: Success!!!!! Worth the work =)

    They can change. My first batch had 8 chicks. Sheila that was MEAN to 4 of the other chicks. We had to separated her into another brooder for a bit of time out. Donna took her place as the mean girl in the flock. She went into the separate brooder with Sheila. The two were fine together but...

    Question about Ameraucana chick

    "Weird pattern?" I'm guessing you have a roo. I'm no expert though. Check out this thread. It may help you figure out if you have a boy (which can feather slowly) or another issue. Hopefully the experts will weigh in soon and let you know if we're off track here. BTW, what you have is probably...

    Just put two-day-olds under broody - DH worried they will suffocate

    Question about Ameraucana chick

    Is it healthy otherwise? Or has it been having other issues? Boys can feather out slower than girls. Do you have pictures? That would help us figure out what's going on.

    Daisy my Frizzle... Picture Overload! Updated Pictures post 28

    Our frizzle ("Ms. Frizzle" from The Magic School Bus) is my favorite. She's definately has the most personality. My husband told me the other day he wouldn't mind if we got rid of the rest and replaced them all with frizzles. I just may take him up on that.

    Hens or Roosters

    Thanks, Jferlisi. I should have explained what an EE was. BTW, Jay:

    How heat tolerant are chicks?

    Quote: A mister isn't for chicks. We have a big one around our patio. It's just something that sprays a fine mist of water. It's sort of like a sprinkler but with a finer mist. It cools the air temp by several degrees. I use it a lot here.

    Hens or Roosters

    It's my understanding they all have the nubs. This thread may help you sex EEs.

    Can't build new coop rehome polish, frizzle, bantams?

    I'm also new to chickens, but you should give the polish a chance. I have eight 9 week olds and three 4 week old Polish. The polish are still in the brooder during the night but free range with the big girls during the day. There haven't been any real issues between the two flocks. There's been...

    How do you tell Buff Orpingtons apart?

    I can't tell my BOs apart either. They're the same size and have the same personality. They could be clones! I also have two production reds that look nearly exactly alike. One just has more coloring on her beak. We have to get up really close to tell them apart. I've thought about getting the...

    We ordered Delewares...

    Hmmm. Looks like a bit of unintentional chicken math!

    Not sure how to handle our new chick situation

    How old is the baby chick now and when do you expect the new ones?

    ...Now i feel bad...

    For a moment I thought it had ended badly. I'm glad it didn't. And, yes: Pictures please!

    They really aren't

    Quote: My 8 older girls (a little over 8 weeks old) have two roosts they can and usually do use. Last night around 11 when I peeked in , 6 of them were crammed in a 1 foot section of 1 of their roosts. They looked miserable but no one would move! One was in so tight she had to stand up...

    Show you EE's!

    I know where the name comes from!!!! I love it. I may have to steal it for a green layer.

    New to this chick thing.. still

    You're welcome. I'm still a novice so I'm not sure about the heat lamp. My guess is that the older ones would be fine as long as they can get away from the heat.

    New to this chick thing.. still

    They start at roughly 95 minus 5 degrees a week. So 70 or so should be fine. (Those temps were a bit hot for my girls, though.) They should be nearly fully feathered by now, right? In a week or two, you should be able to wean them off heat completely. On warm days, I wouldn't bother with a heat...
