i'd say keep an eye on them for a while. some hens do well protecting and providing for their young, some don't. congrats on the new chickies!

have you heard back yet?

i would. if you still have the chick feed, i'd buy a bag of layer and just throw both out for them. once the chick feed is gone, just do the layer feed.

i'd like to know about how much run and coop room a turkey requires as well. my husband and i have been talking about getting a couple turkeys next year and it would be nice to just be able to use the current chicken coop and run we already have.

i have no clue. i would think to keep them warm you might want to stick them under the other broody as soon as you could? anyone with experience have an answer??

Quote: really? mine eat grass all the time and i haven't noticed an issue... oh, and yes, are they eating layer feed??

i believe you have to have 10 posts before you can upload any pictures. have you tried adding calcium? crush up egg shells or get some oyster shells or something like that and just throw it down for them so they can pick at it when they want it? i have no idea what else it could be caused from...

have you tried googling them? the info has to be somewhere out there, even if nobody here is able to offer any info on them...

It's stopped breathing so hard now, started to make a little bit of noise, and has come out of the box. As soon as it found the food it started to devour it. lol Hoping this is a good sign.

My dog came to me whining and running to the back door. I went to investigate and heard one of my chicks cheeping/crying out and saw a fluff ball on the ground in the run by itself (strange because all 7 of the chicks usually stay together or break up in groups of 3 or 4). I went out to see...

Hahaha! I call mine Chickie most of the time. lol And yes, they look very much alike!

Guess I need to change my signature, then, huh?! I'll post pics of the eggs as soon as I get them...If I ever get them.

When we first moved to our new house, a dog jumped into the temporary chicken run and made them all scatter. We had 3 chickens at the start, but only managed to get 2 back. The girls have seemed very happy with just each other. I'd worry if you were down to just 1.

Do you think it's an EE then, instead of an araucana? The feed store I got her and her hatch mates at said she was an araucana, but...
