    SUCCESS!! They love me!!!

    Yea, that's what my neighbor did. Whenever he had treats for them, he would call. Eventually he stopped giving treats, but they would still come. My chicks aren't chicks anymore (25 wks old, give or take) but they love to cuddle like yours. One jumped on my back when I wouldn't pick her up. I'm...

    SUCCESS!! They love me!!!

    That's so cute! Lots of love and snuggling always does the trick! You could try to train them to come to you when you make a hand signal or a certain noise. Then, if you, for example, snap your fingers or whistle, they all come running! My neighbor trained his chickens to come when he calls...

    Arthritic chicken? Update-walking like penguin.

    I have a black australorp that has been acting strange. It all started back in October when she became exessively broody-wouldn't get up to eat, drink, stretch, anything. Eventually, we broke her broodiness, but by that time, she had lost so much weight. Then, she started walking funny, with her...

    Chicken laid two soft eggs.

    I went to check on my chickens before I went to bed and I noticed that one of my Ameraucanas had her tail up high, her bottom down low, and she appeared to be straining. I recognized the eggnlaying position, but she was on the roosting bar, so I wondered if she was constipated or something, if...

    Combining 2 existing coops.

    I thought I was offically done adding chickens to my flock until my last hatch left me with 5 super friendly hens. I would love to keep them, but in our current 4x6 coop, 12 chickens is the limit. We still have this 4x6 all in one coop from when we started. Would it be possible to combine them...

Our golden buffs, rhode island red, and wyandotte bantam are laying almost every day, but the others havn't laid an egg since maybe late september, early october. All chickens...

    Frankenstorm vs. Chickens

    Hurricane Sandy, nicknamed Frankenstorm, made its way from Florida up the East Coast yesterday evening. Connecticut is just starting to get those 90 mile and hour winds and heavy rain. My chickens are huddled in a corner of the pen, soaking wet and squaking. We've had storms before, and the...

    Newly hatched chick cannot open his/her eyes!

    I just finished hatching a brood of 7 chicks very late last night. This afternoon, I noticed that one of the chicks just layed on the ground and slept, even when I accidentally dropped a box and the sound scared the rest of the chicks, this chick just lifted her head and kept her eyes closed. I...

    Baby chick cannibalism?

    She wasn't the only picker. I had let her back with the other chicks the other day, and I saw her start pulling feathers out again. I reached in to grab her, and then I saw another one pulling out feathers. So I put them both in their old brooder for a day and let them out the next. But it didnt...

    Baby chick cannibalism?

    Thank you for the information! I wasn't aware about the artery above the tail. I already separated the other chick, and I just cleaned out the pen that the others are in. So now for the next few days, I will be watching to see if there are any feathers on the ground like before. The chick that...

    Baby chick cannibalism?

    Just this afternoon, I had noticed that some of my 9 week old babies that are outside in an all-in-one coop had bald, bloody, swollen patches of skin near their tails on their backs. We were not sure what was causing the problem, so we put some noesporin on the wounds and put the 2 chicks back...

    Set eggs 5-12 Looking for hatching buddies

    Yes, pipping on day 19 is ok, it just means that the temperature in your bator was a little too high. Usually they pip on day 20 and are out of the egg by day 21. You may have had perfect temp, but this little guy pipped early for some unknown reason (although its not all that uncommon to see...

    What do you get when you cross....

    What is the possibility of some chicks ending up sterile? Mostly the Golden Buff chicks since they are hybrids and the rooster is most likely a mutt?

    Crazy Psyco Rooster!!!

    We are really hesitant to get rid of this roo because he is sooooo good to all of our girls!!! They eat first, they eat only the best, they feel safe around him, he made it possible for me to hatch the 11 healthy babies yesterday!!!!!!! Also, according to my brothers, he defended them from a...

    Crazy Psyco Rooster!!!

    I previously posted a thread about my roster attacking me becuase i wore a different pair of shoes into the coop. Needless to say i now always wear the same pair of shoes into the pen every day. Today, my dad was attacked by the rooster, so when i went in to take over the cleaning, the rooster...

    Set eggs 5-12 Looking for hatching buddies

    Sometimes, things can happen in the last few days. However, that is mostly for those people who have low or high humidity and fluctuating temps. Ive opened up a few eggs several days after a hatch to find a fully developed chick inside, but it was dead. But that was when my humidity was whacked...

I woke up at 2:00 to see if i had any more babies, but there was nothing. Then i woke up at 6:30 to 3 slightly fluffy babies in the bator! Now, about 10 mins ago, one...
