    At what age on average do Olandsk Dwarf pullets begin to lay? My babes hatched 04/20 so I know it's way early yet, but I'm excited to see tiny eggs start appearing!

    Compatibility questions...

    I want to add to my flock of 5 red stars, looking for a more colorful egg basket. Our girls are quite docile but I wondered if there were compatibility issues. Ameracauna or EE? These are pets and should be able to be handled, low maintenance and get along well with our current birds. Should I...

She...

    Light or no light?

    I have 6 4-week-old RSL's, they have had the brooder light on them until today. I turned it off when it broke 90 and its supposed to stay in the low 90's during the day and down to the mid-low 60's at night for at least the next week. We are going out of town for the weekend and my question is...

    Separation anxiety!

    We are going out of town for the weekend & have to leave my little sweethearts, 6 3-4 week old golden comets. They'll be perfectly safe and fine, but I feel bad that they won't have anyone come in and say hi to them a few times a day (and possibly sing to them, not that I would do anything like...

    Coop (tractor) design!! Questions, Comments and Critiques welcome!

    FINALLY finished obsessing over MS Paint and got my tractor design done. I borrowed a lot of ideas from around the www. I know the proportions aren't perfect, but you get the idea! Yes the "run" area will have wire, i didn't draw it in because it would have taken forever! Tell me what you...

    feather growth

    I have 6 fluffy little Golden Comets which are about 10-14 days old. Most of them have developed a good number of grown up feathers on their wings, I am just wondering when&where their big-girl feathers should start showing up next? I searched but was unable to find week-by-week pics but if I...

    Best Hatchery for Window-Shopping?

    Look, I swear I'm not going to actually BUY any chicks, I just want to LOOK at some chicks. No, seriously!!! So what's the best site for "just looking", as in- best variety of different cute chickies to admire and NOT ORDER? Totally not going to order any. None. At all.

    Freaking myself out now

    I got my chicks 4 days ago, they are a little over a week old I think. I wanted to change the litter in their brooder, (it's just a circle of cardboard) so I scooped them up and put them outside in the cardboard and let them peck around. They absolutely loved it! They couldn't have been out...

    Another pasty butt post

    Ok I just got my babies 2 days ago from TSC. They are <1 week old, they're on the same feed they were on at the store, and their brooder is comfy. Several of them have crusty dried poo on their back ends, I don't think it's blocking their vents but isn't this the beginning of pasty butt? It has...
