    Three, Year Old Barred Rock Hens, Clearwater, FL

    Last year for my birthday, I managed to convince my mom to let me raise some barred rock chicks for eggs, and by the end of the year we were moving. It's been a year since the move and already my mom is talking about moving again, and this time she wants a place that doesn't have space to keep...

    Laws and testing when moving a flock from one state to another? Help?

    So I'm going to be moving from Illinois to Florida and I would like to bring my three hens with me. I've been trying to read up on the laws and documentation they require and I'm just so confused. Is there anyone who can help me figure out what I need and how I'm supposed to get it...

    Barred Rock sexing? 4-5 wks

    So my chicks are getting pretty big and all of them almost have all of their feathers in. I noticed two of the chicks have longer tail feathers, they're bigger than the other three and I think I've heard one of them try to crow. Any opinions?

    Chick with bad aim?

    So I've started to give my chicks some dried mealworm treats occasionally (they go crazy for them) and I've noticed one of the chicks has a problem pecking at the mealworms. At first I thought it was because she was the smallest and the bigger girls push her out of the way, but when I was able...

    Pasty Butt follow-up

    A bit ago I went to check on my chicks and noticed a couple of them had dried poop on their butts. I watched them for a bit and did notice they had wetter stool than the other ones, so I took them inside to wash the dried gunk off of them. Dried them with a towel and then with a hair dryer on...

    Cooked egg for chicks?

    So I was talking with my friend about giving my chicks half of an egg (there's only five and a whole egg would be too much) and saw some posts on here talking about scrambled egg and others mention hard boiled. I got them from the feed store yesterday, so I want to say they're between half a...

    Loud chirping and possible bored chick?

    So today I got five little barred rock ladies from Big R and brought them home. They settled into their brooder quite nicely after I spent some time fiddling around with the heat to make sure it wasn't too hot after I saw a couple of the chicks panting. They have plenty of food and water and I...

    Baby Barred Rocks are home at last!

    My five babies are finally home! Four hours of work seems like forever when you just want to run to the store and bring them home! They've all been introduced to the water and food and now it's nap time. Long and bumpy car ride home from the store has tired them out.
