    3 first eggs in one day?

    Sebrights crowing at 6 weeks!

    My Sebright roo's finally have a normal sounding crow...no more squeaky voices,lol. One of my Sultan bantams crowed for the first time yesterday....it wasn't the normal "cock-a-doodle-do"....it was more like "doodle-do". He skipped right over the squeaky stage

    Help me decide: Ideal or Privett?

    Closeness doesn't really matter unless you are going to pick them up. I received mine the day after they hatched....and Ideal is halfway across the states from me.

    What kind brooder bedding do I need??

    Pine shavings are fine....Don't use Cedar shavings! Just don't use the pine shaving right away...the chicks have to learn what they are supposed to eat first and pine shavings will confuse them.

    Help me decide: Ideal or Privett?

    It's getting pretty late in the season for chicks...do either have any available? I had good luck with Ideal...straight runs gave me 2 roos and 3 hens per breed I ordered. All arrived safely and are still kicking.

    what do i do now?!?!

    Hmmm....hawks never come down when you are outside to see them. how about a mannequin or "scarecrow" set near the coop/run.

    Is this normal? need help fast

    Sorry, I had no idea it was that old....it should be fine by itself, so no momma or brooder is necessary. I'd try to find it a good home Another thought: This doesn't happen to be one of the kids favorites, does it? It could be that since it may be handled more frequently than the rest, the...

    Is this normal? need help fast

    You could try to raise it in a brooder and then reintroduce it back to the flock when it is older. Maybe add another 1 or 2 chicks for company. It might end up dead, if that problem continues...

    How many chickens do you have? How do you keep adding to your flock?

    Quote: I understand completely! I'm lucky...if I need to thin the herd, I just call my brother and he takes them. (he has more predator problems in his area) I'd love to do the incubator thing....it's like a mystery surprise an what you'll get. I have only ordered day olds once. I was lucky...

    How many chickens do you have? How do you keep adding to your flock?

    There are probably two typs of chicken owners on here(maybe three). Ones that have them for a hobby/pets and the ones that are in business to make money. The third group would be a mix of the two...someone that does it for fun ,but still might sell eggs or chickens on the side. If you wanna...

    my chickens dont eat much feed

    with that much country side to wander around on, they are apparently finding plenty to eat. if you want them to eat their dinner(layer crumbles) lay off the snacks for awhile. They will eat it when they get hungry, but not if they are full of goodies. So until the crickets,worms, spiders etc...
