Hi everyone, may I please have your opinions on whether my "ameraucana" (most likely an easter egger) is a Rooster or a Hen? These pullets are 8 weeks old. **The one in question is the brown/black/white multi colored chicken**. I have been feeling this chicken, due to the shape and growth of its...

Congratulations! Proxieme ... I love Welsummers, beautiful chickens and eggs! the chicks we bought five weeks ago have been my first chickens since I was a child. My daughters have been having a wonderful time with all the chicks. I wish they could have been home when the mail order chicks...

our new chicks arrived this morning! all alive, all eating and drinking, napping under the brinsea brooder. They were hatched on Monday the 26th. Tracking said they would arrive yesterday by 12 noon, but the post office called me at 8 am this morning to pick them up. My order was placed with...

my daughters are older, 8 and 10, and they take the chicks out several times a day for 30 minutes to 1 hour stretches. Our chicks are 1 week old. We have been handling them in this way, daily, since we got them at 1 day old. As long as your chicks arrive healthy and are thriving, there is no...

hard bolied egg yolk (only feed the yolk) and can you pick up some "Sav-A-Chick Electrolyte & Vitamin Supplement", locally? if not keep with the sugar water. hope your 2 little chicks make it.

our brooder, built by my husband : sides, bottom and back were pre-cut and pre-sanded plywood, bought at home depot. Sides = 24" x 24". Bottom panel and back panel = 24" x 48". To keep it light we used 3/8" for the bottom, and 11/32 for the sides and back. In keeping it light, we also only...

I am trying "Farmers' Helper UltraKibble for Chicks" (mixed in their starter feed), and also "Farmers' Helper BabyCake for Chicks" (a couple hours a day per the bags instructions). decided to give these a try after reading this article "The scoop on low-poop chicken coops", here...
