    Dry membrane on hatching chick

    While on vacation for a few days my broody hen sat on a few eggs and I decided to let her just go with it. This is my first go round with hatching and I didn't get an exact start date. This experience has NOT been textbook by any means. Earliest hatch date possible was last week. One egg had...

    Breed and gender of my impulse buy

    I was on a mission to get 2 brown egg layers around 2-3 months old to put in with the rest of my young flock—-request from my hubby. Been looking for a few weeks now and saw a post for Black Maran pullets-3 months old. I actually questioned one of pullets being a cockerel in my mind BUT got...

When I received the Chicks, they were all alive and healthy but one (Chantecler) did have what looked like an injured beak (hole on top) and had pasty butt. It took a bit longer to start eating (had to do mash on the first day). It also ended up have a...

    To clip or not to clip?

    Sorry this is long. It's an early question for me, but I'd rather be prepared with info being this is our first flock (chicks are a couple weeks old right now). My husband and I have been trying to decide if we need to clip their wings in the future. We have a couple of friends that have...

    Vent prolapse in chick?

    Sorry for the close-up vent post around breakfast time but pretty sure you’ve all seen it plenty times. This was one of chicks that came in last week. I now know its a Chantecler It showed up with what looked like a beak injury, which is mostly healed now. It also had pasty butt. I cleaned...

    Good Morning from SW LA!

    Sorry I'm not being creative--but these basics seem to cover it all! (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? - YES! Very new to chickens. As new as the 5 day old chicks I have now. I did do some homework before ordering and my husband and I have been planning on...
