    Rescue Chicks...Need Help with Age, Gender, and Breed

    So today I received a telephone call from a friend of a friend, asking if I would be willing to take in 3 homeless chicks. The first 2 are all white and are suspected roos, but I have no idea how old they are or what breed they are. They seem a little more mature than my 5 week olds, so maybe...

    So last Friday I went to pick up four silkie chicks, and came home with 6 silkie chicks and an easter egger. I added these babies to my 2 barred plymouth rocks and 1 easter egger that are now 1 day shy of 4 weeks old. I currently have them in separate brooders, but have let them play outside...

    HELP...Who has feathered legs, five toes, and a puffy head?

    I was at my local TSC today and found some "Assorted Bantams". When I asked a clerk what the assortment was made up of, she replied, "They're all Bantams, that's the breed. Assorted just means that they may be male or female". I was so flustered that someone who sells chicks is that clueless...

    Yeah...I can have chickens

    I live in Penn Township, Cumberland County, PA and it turns out the spot I live in is considered agricultural. Since I am surrounded by farms, and the area is agricultural, I guess there is no problem with me having a few pet chickens. Yeah!!!

    Want to raise chickens but have heard they are "very messy and stinky"

    So I am interested in raising pet chickens for the eggs. Friendly little creatures who I can love and care for, who will return the love by providing me with the freshest eggs possible. I have absolutely no experience with chickens and would need to learn a lot first. When I mentioned the idea...
