Hi! I am from Southern Michigan and I had recieved 4 pullets from a family member suddenly.
All I know is that the chicks are from TSC, theyre pullets AND they were bought within the last week.
Any guesses would be great!
My Roo came to me this morning with a pretty goopy and dirty eye. I believe that's all dirt. Could it just be irritation? Only that eye is like that.
Any suggestions on how to flush it out if he just has dirt in his eye? Any advice is appreciated! Also, he was blinking mid photo, he is able to...
I need some advice and opinions.
My favorite baby chick(will be 2 weeks old on Tuesday), has a weird feeling crop. It is a Naked Neck(Turken) and the skin is very loose in that spot and soft.
Is that normal for Naked Necks, or does it have a sour crop? It also is making weird ticking noises...
We have some Turkens we hatched last week, of the 9, one was a Frizzle.
We wanted to breed for showgirls, so we got 6 Silkies.
If we breed the Frizzle Turken with a Silkie, what would we get? (Turkens all have bowties).
Our goal is Showgirls, and Sizzle Showgirls.
How would we go about...
We are getting some chick about 5 to 6 weeks old and were wondering if they were ready to be put outside in their own coop?
The weather is rainy and windy, but temp is around low 30s at night.
Is it too cold for them?
So we have a mixed flock of 1-2 week old chicks. Some are ingesting the pine bedding we just put in. (Theyre in a pack n play so sand was out of the question).
Are we able to give them grit at 1 week old? If so, a couple table spoons in their food so they don't over eat?
I need advice please...
We have 10 chicks in our brooder at the moment but the ONLY bantam that was the last to hatch keeps cheeping loudly as it shows in the video. I've dipped its beak in water and sprinkled food but it goes under the brooder and cheeps unless I hold it.
Its 80°f in the room and the brooder is...
This is my first time incubating and tomorrow is day 18- lockdown. There is ONE bantam egg in there from our own flock(it grew and we were shocked).
My question is, do I go into loackdown a day early just in case it hatches earlier than normal, do I just remove the turner now, and keep...

This is Kuwabara(you can change his name Haha) and his Lady. We need to find a new coop for him as he doesn't get along with our Standard hens. I'd hate to seperate him and his lady, so if you...
As I am starting my own flock, we had added Cockerels. We know the hens NEED calcium, so we provide them with Layer feed and offer Oyster Shells in a dish 24/7 access, BUT now that we have Roosters, what do we feed the whole flock?
We have Layer Feed, Scratch Grains, and Oyster Shells. Do we...
We are nearing day 8 of our incubation. I have been told so many things. To wait till day 10, or day 14 to candle to see if they are actually developing. I don't want to leave unfertilized eggs in for too long and risk the other eggs.
Do I do it day 8 and discard if I see NO veins or ANY...
