Thank you Wishing4wings!!!!!

OK so I think these are all pullets but I figured I would ask the experts (and I think they are pretty and want to share ) They are all about 8 weeks old here Chip - Has some reddish coming in but it is patterned and not on the shoulders Badger Muffin Let me know if...

My better half and I watch it together and he loves the show as much as I do. When I was a child I loved the OLD fairy tales in which Red Riding Hood actually got eaten and the good guy had to be really clever to win and sometimes he didn't and the evil Queen was REALLY evil. I have always...

I absolutely LOVE the webcam idea. A great way of hovering semi-long distance I may have to steal the idea!

I feel like I have made all sorts of new friends through reading this site. I, like everyone else here, have joined the "Cult of Derp". I look forward to posts but have not gotten around to joining the upper-tier of the cult by buying a shirt.....but it is probably in my future. I have a...

I hear you both about the anxiety. The night it got down to 29 this week I was worried, but they all made it fine. It is difficult to go from watching (hovering) over them inside the house as tiny fuzzballs in the brooder to what feels like "throwing them out into the cold cruel world". It was...

Yeah, the babies made it through the cold snap the other night they all just pile together. I have brooder lamp in the shed I moved them into for the time being but they do not seem very interested in it.

I have 8, 4 week old chicks and moved them into the chicken tractor for a few nights last week until the weather got cold again. Since I didn't want to bring them back into the house I divided my mostly empty shed in half and put them in there with the brooder lamp, but they do not seem very...

I enjoyed your article and you echo a lot of the sentiment surrounding why I have chosen to raise a "meat crop" this year. I have 4 Cornish Crosses that in 4 weeks will be processed. My aim is to give them the best and fullest life possible in the 8 weeks I am responsible for them and then to...

We bought the solar "accent" lights and put them in the chicken tractor with the solar cell sticking through the roof.

I am from the Harrisburg area. Getting ready for the cold snap tonight.

Welcome to BYC! I am a newcomer too and all I can say is when you have questions (and trust me you will) this is the best place on Earth to find answers. The people here are great and I have never had one of my "newbie" questions ignored or made fun of. I got my first babies a month ago and...

In reading up about dust bathing has anyone ever tried the fine "clumping" kitty litter (new not used of course). I ordered some food grade DE today and will add that to whatever I decide to use.

They look like the Tetra Tint I got this year at TSC. She is my favorite such a friendly and gutsy little creature, always the first to try something new.

I have a similar question. My 4 babies are still in the brooder but I have been wondering whether to put the food and water inside or outside once they are ready to go outside. We have built a chicken tractor that is of the a-frame type with the coop above and the open area enclosed underneath...
