Of course it is hard to tell exactly what all of them are, but I noticed one distinct black one that is now feathering out from its's fluff and there are some red feathers coming through with the black. My first thought was Black Copper Maran, but...

    Rooster is sick and now one hen is too...

    I hope you all can help me determine what is wrong with my rooster and hen. Two days ago, my rooster started sneezing and when he crowed, it sounded like he was gurgling (sp?) When I was closer to him I could tell when he was breathing is sounded a little raspy. Now this morning, my hen is...

    Newly arrived chicks and swollen neck

    I just received my new chicks yesterday morning from McMurray. I noticed today one had a swollen area on its neck. It is acting fine, running around and eating and drinking. So then I started looking at my others. Quite a few had that swollen area on their neck on their right side. After some...

    Hova Bator 1602N question. Please help :)

    I am just trying out incubating. My local feed store has a Hova Bator 1602N incubator. I know it is not the top model or digital and all. I wanted to know, when I go look at it, what features do I need to look for on the box? Also, are all of the 1602N the same? Will I need to buy any additional...

    Anyone expecting an order from Murray McMurray hatchery "Special Assortment" for October?

    Mine are supposed to be sent out today. They gave me an expected delivery period of Thursda-Saturday. They do not send e-mail notices for their Fall deliveries, which I find disappointing. I am getting the "Special Assorted Bargain" along with 4 SLW and 4 BO hens. Has anyone else ordered this...

    Are these Easter Eggers?

    Things you never said until you had chickens.......

    "Honey, do you want me to take the chicken off of the sofa?" (in reference to the little baby chick that got injured today and is swaddled in a crumpled up sheet on one end of the sofa) Do you have any off the wall things you have said that sounded funny?

    I was a bad chicken mommy today/Baby chick injury.

    I had gone outside to try and get some updated pictures of my oldest looking chicks. I opened the door to my brooder which is 3 ft off the ground. It was not problem until the little things started thinking my handle on the camera was a worm. One little chick fell out (one of my barred rocks)...

    The beginning of an outdoor brooder/started coop

    Transitioning the little ones outdoors in a few days since the weather is so nice. They will still have their light out there. If for some reason it gets cold, they can come back inside. The coop will be setting under my very large carport for now anyway until the whole chicken pen is ready...

    IS it ok to take the chicks outside a while?

    Here in Alabama it is pretty warm these days. About in the high 80s. My chicks are about a week old. I was thinking about taking the chicks outside during the day some and then bring them back in at night. Is this ok? I am in the process of building their coop and run and should have it done...

    This will be for the hens

    I am trying as best I can to use items I have on hand to build my coop rather than buy items. I have a few items that came from a house that was being torn down. I have this small double cabinet which I think would be good for the hens. What do you think. I am going to put the door to the...
