This is our second winter with chickens and I found my girls don't like to step in the snow so I shovel out snow from the coop and a path to bushes they like to stay under which are by the deck. If they go out of the coop they will follow my path and I find one or two will spend time in the...
Last week finally my EE born in April presented us with a beautiful egg and has laid every day except sunday. I had 4 chicks all but "Martha" were roos(who now have new homes), and I added 3 girls born in August from my pet chickens to my miniflock. They are all together and by next spring I...

Little Feat, your chickies are like mine ..wing reathers and tail feathers coming in ..and only a week , amazing isn't it? My girls are flying up to my arm when I sit with them ...my Buff Orp is especially daring!

I will take more pics ..closer up. rloffa, I got them from My Pet Chicken. I would order from them again. I wanted only 3 chicks to replace the 3 roosters I had to give to a friend who has a farm as my initial plan was for 4 chickens. I went to MPC so that I could order a small amount and...
Littlefeat your new chicks are adorable! I am so glad they arrived safe and sound! It is amazing how fast they grow..in 1 day here and wings are changing from fluff ..enjoy each day! I am going off to hold my little girls and visit with them.
Yes they shipped yesterday...still no chicks?..I know my email from them said they could arrive any day up til Thursday ...but that seems like a long time to wait if they were born yesterday.
I got my three today from My Pet Chicken. I had originally 4 chicks from someone and 3 turned out to be Roosters, so I have 1 4 month old EE chicken and 1EE rooster(soon to find a new home) and now I have 2 day old ..1 Buff Orp and 2 Silver Wyandottes....soo cute and snuggly!
Hopefully by now...
Thanks for all the feedback, the blue bin in the pic was full of pine shavings that we used in the brooder and the upstairs inside the coop. Don't worry the feed is in the garage. The blue bin is also in the garage...so are the chicks at night since the last few nights are in the 40-50"s ..I...
Thank you for all the nice comments...here are pics of it in progress..these are the only ones I could find...before setting the coop outside we made a frame slghtly larger then the coop and attached the wire screen to it then dug down a few inches and set the coop in that and screwed the coop...
Thanks ...I was hoping the first was a silver laced wyandotte pullet very pretty , here's to keeping my fingers crossed!

I fixed the pix problem...see my post complete with pics(not the best pics but hopefully you get the ides..also wonder what breed the white/blk chick is. Thanks for everyone's help
Hubby finished and moved the coop putside this week. I painted and it is for @4 chicks but I think 2 are males and so we may be housing the 2 girls ..a friend promissed to take any males.of course theres always oportunities to get more and .....after hearing about others expanding the coops we...
The 2 are very different from my other two chicks who I now believe are pullets. They are 4 weeks old. I am not sure of breed either..my other two are EE's for sure. These are not the best pics but will try to get better ones later. I am trying to post pics ...but having "issues"
I am just over the Mass border (rt495)in Kingston NH.
I am just now getting ready for my first chicks. Hubby is getting ready to build a small coop. I am anxious to buy my chicks..Love this site and message boards...I am learning a lot!
