I had some EE's born March 20 in one coop (after getting rid of 6 roo's I have 7 left) and 7 separate pullets about 10 days younger in another coop. There are 2 pullets in the first group that love to pick on the ones from the second coop when they're all out in the yard together. They will...

Please also specify the breed (if known). Pictures optional.

These chicks are nearly 3 months old. I count 7 roosters in this picture. Am I right?

I have a pullet that escaped over a month ago and took up roosting in a large bush at the side of my yard. I thought I'd gotten her reintegrated with her former flockmates after she'd been loose about 2 weeks but I've noticed she's back in the bush. About how long should a chicken be shut up in...

.....survive wading through a flooded coop? I live in Huntsville Texas which has gotten RECORD amounts of rain (like we're up to almost 30" for the month of May) and flooding and where the coops are is a depression spot so completely covered with 1"-2" of water. They can get into the upper loft...

Had chicks hatched March 20 in a coop. Guess I didn't count right when I left them out roaming the back yard around April 25and they were 5 weeks oldish. One didn't get into the coop and took up residence in a big bush/shrub in the corner of our lot. She survived by herself 2 weeks out there...

Hi all! I have a group of a dozen EE's that are 5 weeks old. They've been out of the brooder in the coop area for 2 weeks now and not under any heat. (We're in Texas). Wondering when I can start letting them free range in our 1.2 acre yard? They seem so young, although they're fully feathered. I...

Huntsville Texas. I have 2 naked neck chicks that were hatched on March 20 and are healthy n off the heat lamp. They hatched from eggs I got that are mixed breed. Covered by a Easter Egger so may throw blue-green eggs. Don't know sex of either. Again--free. I just don't like naked neck looks is...

Someone that raises both turkeys and chickens told me this today. She got turkeys a couple of years ago and last year and they kept dying around 4 weeks old. All of them. Trying to investigate why(she lives near East Texas), she was told turkeys catch a disease from chickens that is fatal to...

Hi all! Getting back into chickens after 3-4 years without. I am buying 18 standard sized straight-run chicks that were born last week. Their first "home" is gonna be a Tupperware container 42" X 20" X 15" deep with a screen top. About how long (your best guess) will this be suitable for them...

My son had a Huge (to me) flock. About 15-20 grown hens and 2 roos, and 2 separate broods of less than a week old babies, probably 2 dozen or so. Had this amount for several weeks (after the babies hatched out). Babies were following moms fine, roo's were leaving them alone. They all free-ranged...

I'm so DONE with pine shaving/flakes. They get in the waterers necessitating water changes. They get in the feeders all the time. What do you all use successfully instead of shavings or flakes? I have 20 2 week old chicks in a Rubbermaid container and am TIRED of constantly cleaning them out of...

Where do ya'll advertyise baby chicks you have to get rid of? I have extra Silkies chicks that we don't need but I need somewhere to advertise them. Can't do FB, Craigslist ad not getting any hits?

I ordered mostly Silkies (5 each of red, black, white, buff, and blue) and 4 each of Buff n Black Frizzle Bantam Cochins. They hatched Wednesday the 15th and I picked them up this morning (16th) at the P.O. Had them home, dipped beaks, and they're all healthy n alive n running around before...

Good evening. I've been a member for several year and just started posting again. I live in the country on 2.5 acres (but only the front 1/3 is cleared). I have had as many as 13 chickens together as a flock, but these last 2 (1 roo, 1 hen) are the last for awhile. They are 2 of the 8 I hatched...

Who has the best selection and cheapest price for Silkie chicks? Anyone know? I want about 20 in various colors. Sstraight run is fine. Thanks. I live north of Houston Texas.

Three weeks ago, I found my Salmon Faverolle roo dead in the yard one afternoon. He was a big beautiful one also!! I had pulled 5 eggs that day so I put them all in the Brinsea 7 & plugged it in. The next day I pulled 3 more n put 2 in the Incubator, not sure they’d hatch. Then I waited. Over...
