    Chicks just hatched what should I do?

    My tiny bantam hen just hatched 2 chicks. She was kicke out of her nest by my regular sized chicken who has gone broody and taken over the rest of the eggs. The chicks somehow got down a 4 foot drop to a new nest box on the floor with bantam mamma. I just bought medicated chick feed. I know it...

    Help chicken is gasping

    My Americauna is gasping and wheezing. I've watched video of gapeworm and it looks like that. But then she sneezes occasionally too. She is eating and drinking, but was drooling some of the water. Her eyes are still bright and clear and there is no gunk in her nose. She's having a hard time...

    No idea if they are fertile

    I have 5 hens and 1 is a tiny little bantam. Guess which one has gone broody! She of course is sitting on mostly regular chicken eggs. She has 2 of her own in there. Silly me forgot to count how many there are total. There are at least 10. She can't fit over all the eggs because she is so tiny...

    How to create my own organic feed?

    Can you tell me what ingredients I should purchase at my local mill to create a well rounded feed? I want my eggs to be as healthy as possible for my family. We are also thinking of raising meat birds, but I want them to be as healthy and free of chemicals as possible. This is the whole reason I...

    Must be waiting till spring

    My chicks hatched in March. They are over 34 weeks and not one egg. Turns out 3 of my 10 are roos. 1 hen died a couple days ago for reasons unknown. My remainder hens have yet to lay their first egg. I guess they are waiting till the Spring comes to lay?

    Breed and sex?

    She/he is huge! Larger than my other chickens. I got them in July and they were already 2-3 months old. None of my chickens have started laying so I have no idea if this is a male or female

    My chickens wont roost

    I have turned an old wooden ladder into a roost and my chickens won't sit on it. They would much rather sit on top of the nesting boxes (not in them) or huddle in a corner on the ground. I will find at least 3 sleeping inside a milk crate. They are all 6 months old and not laying yet. 3 are roos...

    coloring of a laying hen

    Will someone please find me a picture of a hen who is currently old enough to lay, vs a hen who is still too young? I am told that a hen will be bright red when she is ready to lay, but then I have read that her eyes and face will go almost white? I am so confused. I can't tell if my hens are...

    No eggs yet? A bit worried.....

    I am a bit worried. My bantams are 24 weeks and have not layed any eggs. My full size chickens are older than them and have not layed yet. When they were very young they would sleep in the nesting boxes, so I put curtains up and they stayed out. I've taken the curtains down and they sleep in...

    bantams are 21 weeks....... and waiting

    These are my first chickens. I am so impatient to find eggs. I have 3 bantam chicks and 2 roos. So far my roos are very sweet and I can't part with them. I then got 5 more chickens a couple months ago in June and they were all different ages. I was told that most were 3 months. Still no eggs...

    I believe I have 2 roosters. one for sure is a rooster. Still not quite sure about my gray one. He'she has feathery feet. However I am not sure what breed all 5 of them are. I don't know the difference between a brahma and a cochin. So my gray and red and my black with gold flecks, all have...

    Help me identify my TSC Bantams

    So I purchased assorted bantams from tractor supply. The clerk isn't even sure which hatchery they came from. Could be one of 3. Please help me identify what they could be. I have been looking all day yesterday and can't figure it out. Please no abbreviations as this is my first time with chickens!

    Think my chicks may be sick

    So I bought my first chickens yesterday! I've been waiting for years! I purchased 6 bantams. Think is only 2 of them are eating and only what is in between the wood chips. They are not moving around like they were in the store. I have them in a guinea pig cage with a 100 watt brooder light. I...
