Hey everyone! I put my 7 week old girls outside over the weekend! They are doing great! We put them out Sunday and by Wednesday they have figured out the outside during the day/inside during the night thing quite nicely.
Now, a few questions.
1. They won't roost. They enjoy snuggling...
Hey All! I am a new owner of 6 chicks! 3 EE's and 3 Red Stars. They are 4 weeks old and we are in the process of getting their run/coop together. We recently ran across a deal for a large wooden dog house. I haven't seen it yet, but the measurements are 3'1" H 4'9" L 3'7" W- would this be big...
We moved our babes outside today since the freezes are probably over. 6 of them, are now in a dog crate in our shed. They are 3 weeks old. I hope they will be okay. They were making a HUGE mess inside and making lots of noise. Woke me up several times last night, so I had had it. I put their...
So, our cocker/yorkie mix is obsessed with our brooder. She sits by the chicks all day, tries to get up and smell them all day. If she is downstairs with us, and hears a loud peep upstairs, she is gone in an instant, wondering what they are up to. When we do take the chicks out, she sits by us...
Hey all! Been around for a short time, enjoy reading all the posts! I reply when I can but I'm so new that I don't know most of the answers to this stuff! Haha! I have had my first ever chickies for 4 days now. 6 of them, 3 red stars and 3 EE's. They are all doing really great! I am attending a...
They all arrived yesterday, happy, healthy, clean butted, hungry, thirsty and HILARIOUS! Their personalities are KILLING me! We got 3 EE and 3 Red Stars. MPC was nice enough to give us 3 EE of different colors. Black, multi and a white. Do they stay these colors as they grow? This is my first...
They are here. There are 6, alive PEEPING, eating, drinking, pecking chicks!
Okay, is normal behavior to be so spunky?? One keeps hauling off and running at things, a couple are pecking at each other... not in a hateful manner, more playful- and they are PEEPING loud. There is enough heat for...
I can't get away (I have a home daycare). We weren't expecting them until tomorrow - when my husband could have easily gone to the PO! Luckily, my girlfriend is on her lunch break right near the PO and getting them now. I am SCRAMBLING to get everything ready. I am almost done and she is almost...
I ordered my 6 chicks from them, and they are supposed to ship today. Did anyone get an email with shipping confirmation? I am in VA- any "estimate" on how long you think it will take?
TIA!
Hey there!
I have heard an awful lot about Ideal Poultry... however, I cannot order from there because I absolutely can NOT have roos. I only ordered 6 chicks, and ordered from mypetchicken.com. Has anyone ever ordered from them? How was your experience? TIA!
Hi there!
I am getting ready to start a small flock of chicks. I am going to put my order in for some peeps and they should be delivered early March. Meanwhile, I will steadily prepare for their arrival.
I wanted to ask a couple of questions, though-
We have are a family of four- and I...
