    Which companion for my lone peachick?

    Hi all, I just incubated and hatched my first peachick. There are a few other eggs in the incubator, but none has pipped and it does not look like they will. My lone chick is so lonely - I am tempted to go to the farm store and pick up something to keep him company. I know that Chickens and...

    Rooster disappeared without a trace yesterday - any ideas?

    First chicken - no idea on breed. Any ideas?

    Okay, I got this chicken from the pound yesterday. I'm pretty sure it's a female as it laid an egg this morning. But I have no idea on breed. I'd love to know what you think. Thanks in advance for any input!! In case it helps, the egg was light brown and medium sized. Thanks again!

    First chicken - how long to keep it in coop before starting free ranging?

    I adopted a chicken from the pound today. It's about 2 years old and it is sharing a large coop and run with one Guinea I am not sure of the breed. It does lay eggs according to workers at the pound. How long should I keep a new adult locked up before letting her out during the day? Pen...
