    Question about selling roosters?

    I have 3-10 month old cockerels that someone wants. They are somewhat feral, I guess, because they are outside 24/7, but I give them food, water, and a makeshift roost by our workshop. I can only catch them at night. They like us and come up to anyone but they aren't like the rest of my...

    Floppy comb, changing colors...

    A few weeks ago I was asking about my girl Rose. She had a lot of what felt like fat on her bottom/belly. Well, that is fine now. But this morning I noticed her comb was flopping around. She has a rosecomb that is thin under the bumps. In this middle area under the bumps, her comb looks...

    Chick with red toes is not acting like the rest... She is gone :(

    I have a Silver Laced Wyandotte chick that is about 4 days old. Well today and yesterday I noticed she just lays and sleeps. I make her drink water but she only ate one crumble of food. She wants to nuzzle on everything. The only thing different about her is that she is a little smaller and she...

    Guinea Starter Feed

    I have 5 keet in with my 20 chicks. I've been reading that they are supposed to eat the higher protein gamebird starter. Mine are eating chick starter. Has anyone raised them with their chicks, eating the same chick starter? I want to raise them together.

    What do you think about ADD?

    Please be nice, I am not trying to offend anyone... Okay, this young boy was visiting us one day and I guess he has ADD. He has all kinds of trouble in school with the teachers and with his mom. He was talking about how hard it was to multiply by 9. So I started showing him the easy way that I...

    Chicken with a fat belly/bottom? - UPDATE 1/8

    One of my girls, Rose, is really big. They are about 9 months old and she has always been bigger. But she has a lot of what feels like fat, under her vent towards her breast, its a good handful. I only get one egg every couple of weeks right now, from one of them, IDK who? But I know Rose was...

    Triple Yolks!

    I cracked open my first egg today, which is actually the third egg laid (the first two are so small and cute, I don't want to crack them open ). This egg was huge, so I figured it would be a double yolker... but it had three tiny yolks and two egg whites! :o This is also the last "good egg"...

    My chicks are warriors

    On Tuesday, early in the evening, I had the chicks out. They are 7 weeks old and like to play under our lawn tractor, so it is hard to see if they are out. When I came inside there were 6 chicks outside and 14 in the coop, which is in our workshop. So, my MIL lets our big dog out because she...

    Please tell me this is a girl.

    This chick is supposed to be male (males for warmth, from Ideal) and I was going to butcher all 9 of the roosters, but 1 died at 6 days old and now I am falling in love with this chick. It's feathers are so soft. I am not sure what breed it is. I have another chick like "her", but he has a huge...

    Vent problem / Constipation

    I have a chick that has always had a weird vent. He is also having problems pooping. The poop will get stuck coming out and then the vent starts turning inside-out. I have to help him out about once a day. I just squeeze his bottom, gently, and a lot of poo comes out (about twice as much as is...

    I lost a chick.

    We had a cold night and I kept checking on the brooder temp. It got down to about 77 and I have been trying to keep it around 80 - 85+. So I made it warmer and checked on them twice during the day. Well in the afternoon when I went out, one of the extra yellow chicks was dead. He had a little...

    Using dirt as grit for week old chicks.

    I have been giving my chicks bugs & worms and they are catching some on their own. So I gave them a tuna can 1/3 full of fine, sandy dirt from outside about 4 hours ago. Now it is more than half gone. Is that normal consumption? I have 21 chicks and they are 1 week old.

    My first chicks are here... Updated w/Pictures

    Finally! It took them two days to get to me , because of the post office (not Ideal), this happens with all of my "overnight" mail. They are all alive and well. I got all 12 Dominiques and 9 "males for warmth". It looks like I only got 4 or 5 males (I ordered 12 St. Run), we'll see. They are...
