We have 6 RIRs and 2 Easter Eggers. (And an EE Roo) We have been getting around 4-5 eggs a day, once 6. The RIRs are around 30 weeks and the EEs are around 27 weeks. One RIR who is a lot bigger than the rest, except for one, still has a small and pink comb, the others are fully developed and...

My 6 RIRs are 16 weeks and my 3 EEs (1 is a roo) are almost 14 weeks. My feed store said that Blue Seal is no longer making the organic grower crumble, which is what I've been feeding. And I seem to only be able to find the layer pellet at other stores. Is it too soon to switch to the layer...

I have three ameraucanas they are 6 1/2 weeks old. two are definitely females, and don't really have any combs. the other one, white/silver, has a much larger comb that is getting very red. It also has like three combs in a row, no just one, like a normal hen would have. "she" is also the most...

I just brought my 6 RIRs outside for the 3rd/4th time. They are all 2.5 weeks old approx. Two of them started sticking their heads up in the air, and opening their mouths really wide and kind of shaking their heads as if there was something stuck in their throat. One stopped, but the other has...

I just got 3 little chicks today. They were shipped out yesterday and arrived today - So I'm assuming they're 2 days old. I was told they are auricanas/americanas.. Is that correct? Legs are clean. They are very small, much smaller than my RIRs were when I got them. Are they the same as EEs...

I have 6 RIRs that are about 2-3 weeks old. I'm not sure if they're too young to tell at this age though. I am curious about one in particular though. It is smaller (the 2nd smallest), but is much slower in growing its feathers. All of he others have started growing their tail feathers and...

Can chicks grow at very different rates? I bought 6 RIRs. They were all around the same size, although I noticed a few were starting to get their wing feathers in. Now two of the six are huge, and the other four are still tiny. Also, one of the small ones has barely started to sprout her tail...

I am going to be getting some australorps and americanas today, however the minimum is too high for what I need. I am going to be getting 6, but only want to keep 2-3. So I will have 3-4 left over that will be for sale. Around $2.50-$4 each - not sure exact price yet. I am thinking of getting 3...

Im looking for 1-2 Seabrights (preferably silver) or even Lakenveders, or one of both - chicks, pullets or st run, in or around MA area, or willing/able to ship to MA. Thanks.

I have 6 rhode island reds that i got from my local grain store. they are between 8-9 days old, i think. they're wing feathers are growing in and a few tails are sprouting. there are two that are getting huge, the other four are still fairly small. I may be able to get 6 australorps from another...

Hi, I am in the process of designing my coop and run. I have 6 RIRs and may be getting 6 Australorps. Will a coop that is 4'x6' (24sqft = 2sqft per chicken) be big enough, or should we try and build a 6'x6' (36sqft) or 6'x8' (48 sqft). My mom wants to build a 6x8'. The run area that my parents...

I'm looking for a few more chicks (2-5) - females only.. I'm looking for either Australorps, Wyandottes, or Andalusians, or anything else that is a good/decent egg layer and is more unique looking. I prefer something local, but don't mind shipping. I am located in SE Massachusetts, and am...

My friend is looking to buy 1-2 female ducks, preferably young adult to adult, possibly even ducklings, to eventually place with her other female ducks. She has one muscovy (sp?) and another white one that is slightly larger, not sure the breed though. Has to be somewhere in the New England area...

I just got 6 rhode island reds, but my dad is wondering if we should get more - while they still have them at the farm store, that is if they're not all on hold. What is a good size flock for a backyard? We've already got horses, cats, and dogs back there. We haven't built the coop yet either...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the chicken world, although most of my neighbors have them. I just picked up 6 rhode island reds yesterday. we're planning on building a coop asap, with a run, but they'll also be able to free range in the yard. we've also got 5 horses, 3 dogs, 3 cats, 3 guinea pigs, 2...

Hi, I'm new to chickens, although I helped hatch and raise some when I was younger. I just got 6 Rhode Island Reds, all are are a couple days old now. They all seem healthy - as far as I can tell - and very active. I bought them at a local farm supply store. The guy was really nice and...
