    No Chocolate Eggs For Me?

    Hi all, I have great 5.5 week old chicks from a local farm. Sexed at birth. Admittedly the farmer told me BCM chicks were tough. We lost one but still have this handsome specimen. Assuming I’m getting no eggs from this bird? Hoping it’s the only one of the group and he’s a nice guy so we can...

    Search for Organic Grower/All-flock Pellets

    HI all, I'm searching for organic grower or all-flock pellets for my girls. I was feeding Grubbly Farms which I liked but the crumbles are so dusty (clogs the feeders and wastes tons of feed) and their "pellets" they just pick out the whole grains they like (the pellets are where the added...

    Black Australorp Boy and/or Girl?

    My chicks are about 10-12 weeks old (purchased at a local chick store at about 4-6 weeks). We are feeling pretty confident that most of the mixed flock (EE, Buff Orpington, OE, and Sapphire Gems) seem to be the promised pullets but we have two Black Australorps that are different from one...

    Integrating 1 hen to flock of littles after sudden loss of her friend

    Hi - cross-posted as this is probably more appropriate here. I’m newish to chicken keeping. Currently have 2 Dominiques about 4 years old we adopted when we bought our current house.
