    Late Thanksgiving

    Hello, Thanksgiving for my family will be on a Saturday this year, and the turkey we are getting from a local farm is being slaughtered on the 19th. Will it be okay to let the bird rest in the fridge for that week or do I need to make it sooner and find new plans for Saturday the 19th? Thanks...

    Feeling A Bit Discouraged

    I apologize for the length of this post. I am fed up with this situation. Absolutely fed up with it. So, if this is a rant, I'm sorry. I feel like when you purchase a chicken, no matter your intentions, you should be willing to give it the best life possible and to care for it as such. Now...

    Show me your Sebrights! (Discuss Personalities Too)

    I adore Sebrights! They have to have easily become my favorite chicken so quickly. I love my two, but love to see more :) Show your pretties off here and tell me a bit about them. The personality of my pullet is that she is kinda low on the pecking order and stays back, kinda shy. But my...

    What age??

    What age should chickens be when they are moved outside from a Brooder? I have been (over and over) telling my dad that our 3 week old chicks are too young to go out yet. Especially since they aren't introduced to the established flock and our established flock is 4 months old or so. How old...

    Question About Roosters

    Hi guys, So, to our knowledge, we have one definite rooster (a cute male sebright) amid 24 definite hens. My dad thinks my little Nike (the sebright) will harass the hens when he gets older. I don't think he will, as I think that there are plenty of hens so none will be harassed. Also, I have...

    Randomly Sick Chicken? Please Help

    Hi everyone, so, our Silkie named Angel has randomly fallen very ill. It started when her leg got injured and she stopped being able to walk properly. We thought it was a splayed leg and isolated her from the others in order to aid in recovery so she wouldn't get walked over. However, now, she...

    Sebright Male

    Hey y'all, I was wondering if any of y'all had any experience with sebright males. I have a young sebright male chick and a young female, and right now they're best buds.
