I am so mad at myself. I had 8, 5wk old chicks. Today was pretty in Atlanta so I decided to let them out of their brooder box in the basement and out into the yard. I kept checking on them, but the last time I went out I found one laying on the ground dead with a puncture in its breast...
My chicks (8) were delivered on Sept 15th. So they are almost 4 wks old. I have them all in the same big Rubbermaid type box. The weather has been nice here lately so I put them out in the yard during the day (is that okay???) and then I bring them back in at night. How old do they need to be...
I just ordered 8, day old chicks. I am a first time chicken owner, and planning to raise them for eggs only!!! They are being shipped Sept.14. Any suggestions on how to raise them and feed them all organic? I need advice!
Can I avoid soy?
Hi I am new!
I am about to be a first time chicken owner. I will be raising my chickens for eggs only. I would like to give them organic feed but don't know what my options are. Can I avoid commercial feeds? Can I avoid soy? Does anyone have any resources to recommend?
I am getting 8 day old...
