    Too Late for Marek's Vaccine?

    The intention was to vaccinate my chicks as soon as they hatched. However, I only now got the vaccine in the mail (the shipping was delayed) and the chicks are between 19 and 23 days old. They have not been around any of the adult chickens. It is too late for these 9 chicks?

    What Breed/Variation is This Chick From Hatchery Order?

    I just received an order from Mt. Healthy for 7 chicks. Like usual they included one extra. All chicks arrived safe and sound, and are very healthy and lively. I believe I have pinpointed the extra chick. In this picture there is an Australorp at the bottom, and a Speckled Sussex on the right...

    Australorp Color Varieties in the US?

    New Chicks and One Old Hen Integration

    Let's see if I can make this make sense: Our old flock is now down to just one Buff Orpington. She's an old chill girl who no longer lays eggs, but she still does the secondary chicken job which is pest control in the yard. She typically spends her days with the 2 older gals in the neighbor's...

    New Arizona Flock!

    Greetings from the Verde Valley in Arizona! I grew up on a family farm in Alaska where we always had chickens. I've missed them ever since. For the first time since arriving in Arizona I'm in a position to have chickens. Because I wanted the fun of a diverse flock, I mail ordered 10 chicks...
