I’ve done a search but can’t seem to find a definite answer. At what age can chicks survive around 32 degree temperatures without supplemental heat? Thank you!
Three of my chickens seem to have respiratory problems going on. Each has a cough or sneezing with a rattling sound. Today, I noticed eye bubbles in the eye of one. Any information and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have them isolate, but I’m afraid I may have a problem.
I hope it’s acceptable to ask this question over here also. I purchased what is supposed to be a pair of Whiting Tru Blues. Everything I read indicates they can come in all colors and forms. However, this huge comb on the rooster is making me question if he is in fact a WTB. I just don’t want to...

I’m currently building my flock. I live in East Texas near Athens. I’m interested in adding an Ameracauna, Cuckoo Marans and possibly a Sapphire Gem to my flock. Can anyone recommend any quality breeders in my area? Thank you for any suggestions.
After sixty years I’m back to raising chickens. I have purchased a black Ameraucana rooster. As I understand from lurking here the past couple of weeks, if I cross him with any of my hens (Australorp, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, etc.), the resulting hatch will be Easter Eggers. If I’m correct...
Hello fellow poultry lovers! I raised chickens with my grandmother as a child and now, many years later, I have retired from education and started again at the beginner stage. I look forward to the knowledge I will gain here! I am located in east Texas and have purchased a flock of twelve...
