    Mixing Ages

    I need some guidance. I know it's standard advice to only mix chicks of a 2 week age gap.....that said I have one large sized brooder, in it are 17 - 2 and 4 week old chicks. I now have 12 hatchlings and I'd love if I could mix them and not divide up the space. I've raised up to 57 chicks at a...

    Wing Clipping

    A few months ago I clipped my young pullets' wings, for a while things seemed okay, but now several of them are getting out. Yesterday my husband watched one easily flying from the ground over our 7ft fence, so they are not using any of the structures inside to assist them. Mostly it's my Buff...

    Looking for Some Help with my Flock - some newbies don't look like I thought they were supposed to.

    I ordered from Murray McMurray - this bunch is supposed to be a mix of Whiting True Blues and Greens. However, I'm really not sure who's who or if I possibly got some wrong breeds? And possibly a bunch of cockerels, pictures attached of those I am suspecting to be male. Unsure on the red necked...

    Polish and Flock Dynamics

    I just put in our order for chicks this coming spring and I want to make sure I check my preparation boxes. My daughter has been asking for a Buff Laced Polish for well over a year now, but I didn't feel prepared to get one on our first go around. That being said, I decided to get her her...

    First Ever Hatch Along! - Maran Mixes

    My first chick started pipping last night around 8:30pm, at about 7am this morning I heard the peeping of the first baby! This is my first hatch, quite a compulsive decision. We had to cull our rooster after he tried attacking me, but I didn't want to miss trying for some olive eggers! I was...
