    What Breed is my chicks? help!

    She's not a Rhode Island Red because there was no red dot on her beak. I got a Rhode Island Red in addition to her and they look quite different. I will research "Production Red" I am not familiar with that... Thanks!

    What breed is this chick?

    It may be too soon to tell, but I thought this was a Buff Orphington, but I am no so sure anymore because her feathers look more reddish than buff... Got her at a feed store. Can anyone tell what she may be?

    Anyone use SAND in the run/coop

    We are going to use sand. After researching it seems to be our best bet. Crossing my fingers the chickens like it and do well.

    metal tag on the wing and cannot get off!!! HELP

    We had a hard time removing the metal clip as well. Ours came from a feed store where they mark the Pullets. We watched a youtube video on how to remove it and she does it so quickly, but ours seemed to be deeper into the wing and stuck. We got some antibiotic gel and got the area wet and...

    Poultry Nipple Help!

    I got the side mount nipples because I read they don't leak... but my chicks are really struggling to hit the actual nipple part- there is so much plastic around it that I think the ones that hang from the bottom would have been a better choice. I started them on the nipples last night, and...

    Bully chick!!

    Well, maybe only isolate her for short periods and if she does it again isolate her for a little longer? I would try to stop that pecking if it's excessive and not just natural establishment of the order. Hopefully you will get more replies and ideas. I love this forum!

    Bully chick!!

    From what I have read, and I am no expert, but I have read a lot! It is recommended to separate the bully and then when you return her to the flock she should be a little more calm. Take it or leave it, but that's what I would try if they were mine.

    I am a 2 week old Australorp- do you think I am a rooster?

    Yeah, that's what we were thinking... Thank you for your input. Luckily we have a place he can go live since we can't have Roosters, but I sure wanted to keep all of my chick-a-dees.
