Hello!!
I currently have a flock of 4 hens, a Lavender Orpington, Black Australorp, Blue bantam Cochin and a Silver Laced Sebright. With my existing flock, I was curious to know how many additions I would be able to have comfortablely in the next year or two from now. Since I had started this...
Hello everyone, just a few weeks ago I had noticed my Silver Laced Sebright's corner eye bubbling. Except now, just this week I looked at her eyes, and her waterline looks to be not even as the other eye. Her right eye almost looks like it was trying to heal itself from an injury?? I'm not quite...
Hello everyone!
I've always been absolutely obsessed over the polish breed, and always wanted one!
Although I did happen to raise my classic white crested polish late last summer, except she was one of the few who sadly didn't make it. So with that, I wish to have one in the future as an...
Hey y'all!
In my flock I have five hens, but three of them are pullets I'm trying to integrate with my Silver Laced Sebright and Barred Rock hen. So, these pullets have been in a metal dog crate inside the coop for well over a month, and the space has been tight. Although, since the run is...
Hello fellow chicken keepers!
I've come to thought about making my flock their own garden, and was curious what are some great options for their health to eat freely. This idea came to me since those divine orange yolks I hear are just the utmost greatest exsperience especially when they are...
Hello everyone!
A little while back once I got my last batch of chicks of late last Spring, my seller from the hatchery I got my chicks from recommended this product. However, I want the absolute best for my chickens, so organic and non-GMO or just all in all clean ingredients will conclude what...
Good morning everyone!
For the past couple of days my Australorp chick is acting a little slow, she started ro have a gasp a few days ago, and sometimes only opens one eye.
But I've been dipping her beak in some oregano tea, which has done some good for her poops, which have been runny back to...
Hello everyone!!
I have a couple guinea pigs myself, along with my little flock of chickens.
And for a few years I've been using bedding just from my local petstore nearby, but I use 100% natural animal bedding for my chickens. This product has very low dust and is easy to clean, so I thought it...
Good afternoon!!
I am currently finishing up my coop build for my girls, and just have the run left, so wirh that I want my chooks to have quality dirt safe from any sprays or dyes possible.
So, I was curious if anyone has any recommendations or thoughts on any brands they know and trust.
Thank you!
Hey ya'll!!
I have a few baby chicks, but my black bantam cochin looks to be a questionable cockeral.
I've had these chicks for about 2 weeks, but I did just add a new addition yesterday, I will picture my lavender orpington chick as well since she is a little older than the black cochin just to...
I just woke up this morning holding my three baby chicks, and my easter egger is trying to push out a poop, I'm trying to just lose the poop with a q-tip.
Any other help or suggestions is very much appreciated.
Hello everyone!!
I just got three baby chicks yesterday, and their about 1-3 weeks old.
And just this morning I checked on all of them, and my easter egger chick is gasping a little bit, she's eating and drinking, but I was just worried because I had a chick with a little bit of a gasp in my...
Hello everyone!!
I was wondering how much feed is enough for my babies outside?
I currently only have two right now, so their only getting about a cup?
I'm not exactly measuring it out, but will soon add a few more to my flock, so I wanted to know how much feed will sustain my flock while being...
Good afternoon everyone, I have a barred rock chick, and I've been waiting for (her 🤞) to get a little older to identify gender.
It's still maybe too soon, but I just wanted anyones thoughts. Thank you!
Good afternoon everyone, I want to set up a waterer system for my flock, and I'm solid on using Whiskey barrels because plastic has toxins and will go into your clean water when refelceted upon.
So, I wanted to ask if anyone with exsperience with these barrels had to put a coat inside the barrel...
This morning I was holding my baby chick, Bardee, who lovingly pooped on me when on my shoulder, and had dropped this poo, I'll send a pic so you guys can identify if it's healthy or not, but I was just concerned by the color. Thank you!
Hello everyone, I was wondering what your guys thought were on frizzle bantams, I absolutely adore their look but have never had one myself.
Any thoughts on this breed? Are they friendly usually? High, low maintenance?
Just curious because I know chick season is coming to an end and I'm think of...
So, I already have my two baby chicks, my silver laced sebright and my Barred Rock, but I just contact TSC and they said they are supplied with, California whites, California grey, Blue plymouth rock and Buff orpington.
I definitely am going for a orpington and I wanna try out a different breed...
