    4 weeks old

    I have four, one month old chicks. A BO, a RIR, a SLW and a Australorp. I have read that Roos develope their combs earlier than hens and my Australorp comb has really started to develope all of a sudden. The other 3 chicks have smothe heads still. Does this look like a possible Roo?

    Crazy Hens

    I have two young hens and before I got them I would have called you crazy if someone would have told me how much time I would spend just watching them. They are so entertaining! Today I noticed that they were chasing all the wild birds out of the yard. They had me laughing like a fool! They ran...

    Gape worm

    How can I be sure if a chicken has gape worm. I noticed them stretching their necks and opening their beaks. They don't seem in any distress. They free range every evening and have been acting fine otherwise. They don't do it constantly but I do notice it every day. I haven't wormed them yet...

    When can the big girls meet the babies?

    Dust baths

    What do you use for a dust bath area for them? I am afraid to let them free range until I get a coop built. They are living in the garage and I'm afraid they won't go back in on their own. I have a small fenced area in the yard that they go out in most days but it's all grass. Would a shallow...

    Picky Chickens

    My hens it seems are very picky. Oh they eat their regular feed just fine but trying to find treats they like not so easy. They LOVE meal worms. That's the all time favorite hands down. Actually they want the super worms from pet supply(they look like mealworms on steroids! lol) They like...

    How much to feed?

    Do you give chickens a constant feed source or should you give a select amount each day? Also is Flock Raiser ok to feed until they get to laying age. I think my two are a couple months old.

    What breed and how old?

    I have always wanted a few chickens for eggs and pets and have 4 peeps coming in May. A couple hours ago there was a knock at my door and a young girl with two young chickens was begging me to take them or her boyfriend was going to kill them! So I did . One looks like Plymouth Rock but I can't...
