    Integrating one 4 week EE chick with a flock of (3) 3-month old pullets

    I know there are a lot of threads on the subject, but none address introducing only one chick to a very small flock of older chicks in a small space. I have a new baby, an Easter Egger, and she will be 4 weeks old this week. I need to start introducing her to my current older chicks who are...

    3 month old (15 weeks) chicks/pullets not eating feed well anymore since foraging...

    I have 3 pullets aged 15 weeks who used to eat their feed like crazy. Lately, for the last 2 weeks, they are taking days to eat the same food and still don't eat it all. I let them roam in the backyard all day long and they are quite fond of the side of my house where I'm sure there are lots...

I couldn't catch her, but she made a quick right into the run and into the coop, got waayyy in the corner and poof - the penny was gone. I moved all the pine shavings and it...

The Buff Orpington and Barred Rock are so docile and sweet, this Delaware is flighty and squirmy and attitudish! Look at the last pic! She or he also has some barring on her...

    How old do these chicks look to you?

    I am attaching pics of my new chicks, said to be hatched 3/8 and are 24 days old today - a little over 3 weeks. I don't know... they are large to me compared to pics of other 3 week old chicks and I am wondering if this was a mistaken date. I got them from a local feed store who sources from...

    New 3 week old chicks today... one is a pecker

    Help! I am a first time chickie mom and got my 3 babies today a few hours ago. I agree that the plastic tub I have is likely not large enough at 18x24. It's one of those Walmart storage tubs. Anywhoo, I have a Barred Rock, a Buff Orpington and a Delaware - all 3 weeks old. The Buff...
