    What breed am I?

    I've got everybody else in the flock figured out except Mama P. Every time I think I've got it, something doesn't match up. Especially since she went broody and co-hatched chicks this summer. Help!

    Broody bailed - Need help

    So, my broody hen hatched one chick and bailed. Thankfully I have another broody that doesn't have a clutch so I handed off the eggs but now I have a cold chick under a heating pad. Never dealt with new babies before, only the very active 2/3 day olds shipped to me. I've got the heating pad on...

    Goslings and Heat Plates

    Hello, I'm looking to add 3 goslings to my chicken flock. Has anyone used a heat plate successfully with geese? I've read their heat requirements are slightly different than chicks but am wondering size wise, if I can be successful.

    SLW Roos?

    Here are my packing peanuts from my 4/24 hatch date. Nobody has attempted to crow. I feel like they are all cockerels but would like verification before I send them on to a friend so they can attend freezer camp :/ I think I got all 5 in there.

    Chick not growing

    Hello, I have a 4/24 hatch date Cochin (LF) that does not seem to be growing. She eats, drinks and poops regularly. I've attached pics of her next to 5/23 hatch date sapphire gems for comparison. Not sure if there is some diagnosable issue here or if I have a Peter Pan chick... Thoughts appreciated!

    Chick not growing?

    Hello, I have several nearly 2 week old chicks. All but one are progressing at a rate that seems normal. However, I have one chick who is 1/2 to 1/3 the size of the others (no bantams were ordered). She's a bit wobbly and far less energetic than the others. She drinks and appears to be eating...

    Capons (for non-meat purposes) ?

    Hello all, I am wondering about the feasibility of capons as flock members (aka pets) rather than for meat purposes. I cannot find any information on life span of capons vs roosters. I received 'warmer chicks' with my last order and am super interested in turning them into capons. Not really...
