    Bad chick or bored? Name help.

    Well, they're outside and happy. The colors are so much prettier outside. I decided to test out how they would react to one of my 2 wk old araucanas. They got along fine the whole time but I was present. I'm going to put the little ones in the run tomorrow with them and watch for a bit. If...

    Ok, no more heat and outside. Will bring them in tonight and tomorrow after that outside. Thanks again, I feel more confident about putting them outside now. I'll order a heating pad for the others today and maybe it will be here by the weekend at least early next week.

    Bad chick or bored? Name help.

    They aren't completely off heat yet. The weather for Georgia is crazy in the winter. It was 26 Sunday and in the 60's Monday. It's suppose to be in the 80's by Wednesday and the raining spells. After reading about respiratory problems with birds I was worry of giving them 'colds' from such...

    This was best picture I could find of my first coop. Hopefully I didn't delete them and I'm just overlooking them.

    Bad chick or bored? Name help.

    Yes, I did and I'll try to explain the way I have it set up. My first coop and run are exactly the same size. I followed the advice of people who sell the premade type. By the time my chick's were 5 or 6 months I realized space was an issue and gave 2 away keeping 3. The run for them is 3x3x5...

    Thank you Aart, no I didn't know I needed to do that. (Actually i think i just forgot) I have a hi uge bag of grit with different size. I'll sift some out for them and start out sprinkling it over their food before giving it to them free choice. Haha Donrae, I'll give them some cooked plain...

    Bad chick or bored? Name help.

    They have shavings but unfortunately I pull it out of their mouth anytime I see it. I was afraid they would swallow it. Bad me. I just gave them some spring mix and as usual they freaked out unless I broke it into small pieces. They're huddled in a corner waiting for me to remove it or break it...

    Araucana thread anyone?

    They're beatiful! Roos use to be my favorite but I'm enjoying hens a bit more these days. But I have to admit that roo makes me just want to touch him. His feathers look so silkie and shiny. Sorry about your comp N8ivetxn. I remember learning to use my phone. What a nightmare for me! Sure do...

    Junebuggena, I already have 2 brooders set up inside. lol I have 2 more brooders though. Their coop and run is built but they aren't completely feathered out yet and the temp here has been cold this weekend. I'll get another one set up tomorrow and see if I can figure out how to put them...

    That brood is 3x3. It has 1 frizzled Mille Fleur cochin, 3 smooth Mille Fleur cochin (2 from frizzled eggs), and 3 silver laced cochins. All are cochin bantam totaling 7 at 5.5wks. All same hatch.

    Bad chick or bored? Name help.

    This is the only Mille Fleur cochin bantam from smooth eggs to hatch. I believe it's a roo. He has plucked a few feathers from my silver laced cochin bantam chicks. He runs around the brood trying to make sure no one takes it from him. It seems to be my little 'runt' silver laced each time and...

    Baby silver lace and Mille Fleur cochin bantams

    Thank you oldhenlikesdogs. I was really hoping someone would say the were smooth. Haha :P The smooth Mille Fleurs is the main reason I ordered. Only one of the 3 smooth eggs hatched and I believe it is a roo. It's comb is pink but his head is down in the pic. Looks like I need to order some more...

    Araucana thread anyone?

    Apparently, I can't count. I have 7 araucana eggs in the incubator and one cream legbar. 5 araucana have hatched. 4 are black and 1 white. The black ones look like they silver hair mixed thru-out the black. It's hard to tell exactly they are still in the bator. The last two araucana haven't pipped.

    Oregano in water

    Essentials oils are not water soluble and need an emulsifier. In this case food grade. I would suggest honey and I've read it's good for chickens but I really don't know how much or how little is good for chickens. If anyone can tell me how much is safe to give chickens on a regular basis I can...

    Araucana thread anyone?

    Three have hatched now and one more pip for sure. I thought one more had pipped but the chicks are rolling the eggs around now and I can only see one. It looks like a white/gold chick, a black or blue chick, and a black or blue with a golden color.

    Baby silver lace and Mille Fleur cochin bantams

    These are my sweet little bantam I hatched. They will be 4 weeks old tomorrow I think. I've got a few newbie questions. Any help is very much appreciated. 1) Three of the Mille fleur hatched from frizzle eggs but only one actually looks frizzle. I know that there is a 50/50 chance to get...
