So I called the store up and talked to the guy that grabbed them for me and he told me the breed I'd card said red broilers but he honestly wasn't sure. He said it's against policy to return them but he would this one time. But now I am curious...so I'm going to grow them out and see what they...

I was thinking the same thing about them looking like welsummers. They did have leghorn chicks there in 1 of the tubs but I can't recall if they were mixed in with these. The other chicks in the tub were white or light dusty red and a LOT bigger. Ug. And I was kind of talking to someone and had...

Hi everyone, i wanted to try some broiler chicks and was sold 6 "red broilers" at tractor supply. But to be honest these are pretty small and I thought the larger light red chicks in the same tub were the broilers. Can anyone help confirm these are or are not red broilers? Thanks in advance!

I wish it was that simple here. No they charge $100 for 5 yrs and u can only have 4 hens.theh do a site inspection and there are a bunch of rules.i read them all but the very nice lady who did my paperwork with me was just not sure about tje easement part. Missina

Hi everyone, I just went and submitted my personal back yard chicken permit to my county and have a question that the permit lady was unsure about. according to the informatin for the permit it says: "The chicken coop shall be kept in the rear yard and must not be visible from adjoining...

Yes she is a silver seabright :)

So the other day we are sitting on the patio and a rooster crowed. We went to check it out thinking a stray roo was on the property or behind the fence. Nope, it was one of my Hens. And yes shes a girl and lays eggs. Shes a little over a year old. As you can see an hear, Daria is tring...

Still not sure what's wrong with Red but she seems to be improving. I have had her on doxycycline for almost a week. She is still drinking and is not kind of eating. Shes scratching and pecking at the food..eating very little. Her crop is NEVER full..not even half full. I still have her in...

A crop needle is not really a needle..its a metal or plastic tube that you use to put it down into the birds crop to feed or give meds to it, I ordered a lot for my baby green cheek conures and the kit has sizes up to those large enough for bantams and other small chickens..was just good luck I...

I have baytril and doxycycline for birds on hand..but not sure which to try. If its viral then giving them to her is pointless...same with its its cancer. I do have crop needles coming in soon so yeah I can try to feed her directly into her crop. Thanks!

Thank for replying. I have asked at the feed store and people who have had chickens their entire lives and no one seems to have seen *this* before. I am afraid she will die if she doesnt star eating. I had already planned to open her up if she died..if it comes to that I will look for tumors. I...

I have a bantam hen that was born in may of 2020. She has never laid an egg. She is kept with 3 other female bantams in a small coop during the night and a 10x10 dog run during most of the day. They have sand flooring except in their night area and then there they have pine and hay. She gets fed...

So a short time ago I asked for advise on my poor egg hatch rates and it was decided that it was the humidity was to high during the hatch. I have only hatched 1 batch since then so it is not enough to confirm, BUT I incubated 10 eggs-9 were fertile and 8 HATCHED! the 9th chick was to weak to...

can I ask what brand supermarket eggs? I am just curious. I tried that first before I found a local breeder..never did get any to develop! but your babies look great :)

yes indeed!

I have hatched 2 groups of quail eggs so far and have gotten a 5:3 (male:female) ratio each time. I have 9 fertile eggs that are set to hatch soon..so what does everyone typical get? the breeder I got my originals from said he always has more males than females..and its kind of aggravating. i...

Ok so I have a bug issue..and I have a green house frame without a cover. I am thinking that maybe I will get 1/2x1/2 in wire and wire the entire thing in, add a door and turn it into a giant 16ft by 10ft quail run and vegetable garden. I have major issues with bugs and I am wondering if the...

Sadly the little gimpy baby lost the fight last night. After I got home from working a 12.5hr shift I found that it had flipped over and could not get up..it must have been struggling for several hour because it had food encrusted into its eyes and was so dehydrated. I spent about an hour trying...

Well this is the quail this afternoon. Its staying up more than down and eating and drinking. I kept its toes in the "boot" over night and off and on today and yesterday but honestly, they still look the same. The toes on the left foot were not really curly but 1 was just really close to the...

oh geesh and here I thought i was doing the right thing by increasing it..because that is what i read online. wish I had asked this after the first hatch when i had a bunch die in the shell! well i have 8 older birds that should start laying eggs soon so I will do better next time! as to the 9...
