    Starving? Really?

    My five little nuggets are 6 weeks old. They're full-time outside, but they only go into their coop to sleep or get out of the weather. From first thing in the morning until bedtime, they free-range on an almost-acre of grass, weeds, clover, and a veggie garden that they LOVE to play in. Plenty...

    When to move outside on their own?

    They're one week old. I don't have any other chickens, these are the first. It's in the 80's here every day. I've moved the brooder light as high as it will go and tilted it sideways a little, and they still avoid that end of the brooder. They're hot, but it's coolish in the house (which is...

    First dust bath- kinda scary!

    My chickies are a week old. We made a little box-type deal with an open floor and put it outside on a brick base so they could be outside during the day, scratching and pecking. I went out to check on them a few minutes ago, and three of them were huddled together, lying on their sides, kicking...

    One-week-olds FLYING ALREADY?!

    I can't believe how quickly these little rascals are growing. They'll be a week old tomorrow, and already they're trying to fly out of their brooder. Ugh..... I don't know what to do. We don't have anywhere to put them until the coop is built, and that's at least 2 weeks out. Their brooder is in...

    Few hours old. Is it pasty butt??

    I got 4 chicks today. Three hatched last night, but one just hatched about an hour before I got there to pick them up. She has a little black clump on her her bottom. I took a wet rag and wiped at it, but it's raw, and it hurt her. The others don't have anything on their butts. Could this be...

    If a friend's hen is hatching "my" eggs.....

    .... when is it safe for me to take the chicks away? I don't know anything about birds compared to other animals; do they need to stay with their mama for a certain amount of time? If so, when should I get them? These will be our very first chickens (we are SO excited, been planning for them for...

    Brand-new homesteader!

    Hi, I'm Sati :) I'm a homeschooling mom of 3 (but my oldest lives with his Dad). I am also the WAHM behind Rows and Roses- fine custom crochet. My husband and I have decided that we want to take our children out of the whole mainstream-marketing-plastic-fast food lifestyle and live a life...
