    Can I integrate my new chicks yet?

    We got some chicks a while ago. They were 2 & 4 weeks when we got them. We had them in a brooder in my husbands shop for 4 weeks. Then we moved the brooder, which is half chicken wire, to inside the run of our established flock. That way they could see the big girls, and the big girls could see...

    Ameraucanas (or EE?) Gender help needed please!

    I got 3 Ameraucanas a couple weeks ago, although I am thinking they are not true ameraucanas, but Easter Eggers, since while we were there to get them, she showed us her set-up, and all of the Ameraucanas were in the same run, she did not have them separated by breed colors.

    What type of soil should I use?

    Our chickies are 2 weeks old yesterday, so I know they will not be out among the plants for a few more weeks at least, but I am trying to plant some just for them. For the past few years we have grown tomatoes, basil, oregano, and marigolds in containers in the backyard. We have to grow...

    Question from a beginner :)

    Hello, I am a new member of BYC, although I have been searching this website for months now trying to learn everything I could before getting our chicks :) In a few days we will be getting 10 3 week old chicks (I was supposed to get them sooner, but family issues) Anyway, I want to be as...
