I have 10 Seramas that are 5 weeks old. At this point they are mostly in my room in an indoor aviary. We do go outside, as long as it’s warm enough as they are not completely feathered. One of the boys was pecking other chicks and then getting pecked. When he would get pecked back he would FREAK...

Help! Received 19 one day old pullets from McMurray. One of the Ameraucanas is gasping and has been doing it since yesterday after we got them settled at home. No one else is. They all seemed to be extremely thirsty on arrival and she drank a lot. Then the gasping started. She’s still drinking...

Considering ordering an all girl ornamental layers assortment of 15. Says it includes the Rarest of the Rare and the Top Hat Assortment. Just wondering if anyone else has purchased and if they were happy with the assortment. And the hatchery. It would be my first time using them.

Preparing to go round three with chicks. Ordering females only this time to add to our RIR & PBR pullets. Opinions on the best breed to complement what we already have? First batch was unsexed and I only ended up with 4, possible 5, pullets. I also have a small flock of week olds - silkies and...

Just an FYI I took a dollar store pencil tray and added sanded perch covers for a roost/feed tray. Cost $3 and they fight over it! Love it way more than the real perches.

UPDATE: When I went to put the chicks in the coop for the night, I was able to see Raptor, my sick girl poo and now in addition to the diarrhea, it has some pretty bright yellow in it. Here’s my post from earlier. I’ll go back and delete that one. Any advice, suggestions? I’ve been searching...

My silkies are destroying their pine and no matter what I use for a water “system” they fill it with pine about every 30 minutes. I purchased bird cage water silos and used mounting tape to install them in the brooder. I dipped beaks, but we don’t seem to get it. Any suggestions? Or is there a...

I have mostly silkies about 10 days old, then an older silkie, bantam EEr, and a mystery feathered leg bantam. Trying to figure the breed but I’m actually more concerned about her size. She’s only 6-7 days older but she’s almost twice the size and she’s trying to fly around. She’s constantly...

I picked up 3 mixed bantams from the supply store while I was waiting for my batch of silkies. lol I did get one silkie and I think an EEr (?) and this little girl, Raider👇🏻. These three are only about 6 days older than my Silkies, but she is getting big so fast! What do we think she is? Is she...

So, my black straddle leg silky is about 10 days old. She has had her hobble removed and she’s back in the brooder. She was doing great. Then yesterday, I noticed her routine was different than the others and now this morning all she wants to do is sleep. She’ll peep if I pick her up but as soon...

I’ve ordered and not received 3 separate coops from three different companies. Everyone is on back order/out of stock. Especially for larger, walk-in coops. I found a local handyman who came out, gave me a quote and agreed to build one and then ghosted me! I’ve just messaged a friend that might...

So, I decided to use the lockdown to make some dreams come true. I live on two acres surrounded by corn fields and I’ve wanted chickens forever. I started in March 2020 with 5 Silver Wyandotte’s and 4 Cinnamon Queens. I fell in love. Two weeks ago while at the supply store an employee uttered...
