    Chick Breed Chart?

    Okay, I know there is a breed chart that I refer to a lot when looking for info on chicken breeds. What I want to know, is there a breed chart with chicks? I have some mystery eggs hatching and would like to see if I can try to tell what they might be. One that just hatched is black with white...

    At what point should I consider an assisted hatch?

    I am still fairly new to incubating and hatching, this is my 2nd round. The first one went well with 10 out of 13 eggs hatching. My eggs are due to hatch Friday, 4-4-14.

    Chickens stopped eating their feed...

    My chickens have seemed to have stopped eating their feed. I have not changed the brand, I get them a layer feed. I did change from crumbles to pellets, could that be a factor as to why they stopped eating it? Have not had to fill their feeders in a week. The weather has been warming up and they...

    Dying chicks.

    I am pretty new still to raising chickens. I found a local lady that we have been getting our birds from. We started off with 6 turkeys, 2 died. No big deal, it happens.

    Long beak?

    This is one of my Americauna chicks. To me it looks like her beak may be too long. What do you think? I want to get it taken care of if it is. Sorry, I am new to this and apparently the picture didn't post. I will have to try again from a computer or figure out how to delete this post. :/

    Food for layers

    I have 2 hens that are of laying age. I'm wondering if the laying feed for hens will harm my younger birds at all. It would be tough to feed 2 types of food.

    Greetings from the great state of Washington! :)

    We are new to raising chickens. I got most of our bird as chicks. I just recently purchased a full grown Australorp hen and was told she was laying. I'm wondering if she may be stressed and that's why she's not laying? I've had her for just about a week now. I'm really hoping that she's not done...
