    Three days away from my first hatch...couple of questions.

    Okay, so I have a broody sitting on eleven eggs right now. She has been sitting in the nesting box which is about eighteen inches off of the ground. I tried to move her to a dog kennel but she kept trying to get out and not sitting on the eggs. Anyway, I know once the chicks hatch this will be a...

    Limp and lifeless chick, any ideas?

    I received my chicks yesterday and all seemed to be great. Today I noticed one sleeping a lot, which I know chicks do, but when I returned from lunch I knew something was wrong. I picked her up and her body is just limp, her head dangles, her eyes are closed and she looks really bad. She is...

    Transporting chickens to Mexico.

    Hey y'all. I will be moving to Mexico in February and I have a flock of five that I want to bring with me to my new home. Does anyone know anything about crossing the border with them? I'm driving so the plane isn't a problem, but I just can't find anything online about it. Thanks in advance for...

    Question about my Dominique rooster.

    Ok, so I've had Artemis for fourteen weeks yesterday. That makes him fifteen weeks old. He is a baby, my baby. He cuddles with me and sits in my lap and just everything that you'd hope a rooster would be like, except...this may sound crazy because why would someone want it, but when will he...

    Chickens as mediators

    I saw this and I thought it was great! Didn't want it to get lost in the "fun" category because it is behavior, so here it is. http://tinyurl.com/289z73b

    When it rains, it pours!

    Literally, I mean. My chicks spent their first night outside last night. They all huddled up together by their feeder and did really well. I opened the coop this morning before I left for work and everyone was happy. I got to watch them "walk the plank" for the first time after their first...

    Merging young flocks

    How long do you keep your chicks separated when combining flocks? I recently (four weeks ago) bought some one week old Dominiques, two pullets and a roo (the roo was supposed to be a girl). Today, I bought some two week old Barred Rocks, two of them. I have them separated at the moment but the...

    Question about installing a fan in the coop.

    I bought a small fan to install in the coop because it gets very hot here. It doesn't blow hard, or a whole lot, but enough to circulate the air in the coop. Is this a good idea or not? I read about keeping it draft-free and a fan would definitely not keep it that way. It is not a large coop...

    First outdoor dustbath...!

    My little biddies are really growing up. They've been going outside to free-range each day for about thirty minutes or so. Well today, they've begun to enjoy the dirt a little more. They dustbathe inside regularly via an upside down frisbee in their brooder, but now they've started doing it...

    Eighteen day old Dominiques...

    Ok, so I got these three chicks from a neighbor who had to buy twenty-five chicks in order to get the Dominiques that he wanted. I built a coop and had been looking to get some chicks for a while, but had a hard time deciding on a breed. So, I chose these three due to convenience and "who they...
