That's great news!! Thank you so much.

Not sure if this is the right spot to put this question.... I have 6 chickens that are in a coop/run most of the time, and I let them free range in our 1/2 acre yard for about 2 hours a day. I'm in the process of applying to adopt a 4 year old pug, and the owner is very concerned about the...

My buff orp chicks and one of my easter eggers are very friendly and like to be held (they are almost 5 weeks old). I have another EE who wants nothing to do with me and will freak out if I go anywhere near her.

A few days ago I was letting my chicks run around my mudroom and my Red Star started trying to take a dustbath on the doormat. This made me realize 2 things: 1. Maybe I should put a dust bath in the brooder for them 2. I really need to vacuum my doormat So I made a dustbath out of a plastic...

Thank you!!!! I put a cardboard box with a towel in it in the corner and a couple of them are hanging out in there now :)

I just put my six 4 week old chicks outside in a big dog cage with the tray removed (so they can scratch at the dirt underneath and eat bugs or whatever but be safe from hawks). It's a beautiful day 80+ degrees so I thought it would be the perfect time to introduce them to the outdoors. They...

There are so many helpful people here and tons of great articles! Lots of posts too that you can search for on everything a Newbie needs to know. I would be lost if not for BYC :)

What a great story <3

anybody??? :)

Just a suggestion, I find that the folks here are better able to respond if you can provide some more info along with your question. What are your concerns exactly?

So cute! And great idea to attach the light to a rocking chair- I'm totally stealing this idea :) I've been looking all around for something sturdy enough to attach my light to when I raise it to the next level. Duh, a chair was right in front of me the whole time!

I asked a guy who works as a builder at my company for some scrap wood for me to make a larger brooder box for my six 3 week old chicks (currently they are in a dog crate and they are running out of room). He went all out, and made me a 3x4 box with a chicken wire top and even decorated it...

What a great photo, your golden is beautiful! Love red goldens!

That makes me feel better, thank you :)

I just read the article in the learning center about socializing baby chicks and I'm a little freaked out.... my babies are 4 days old and I've been picking them up and holding them from day 1 (if they seem distressed I put them right back in the brooder). The article goes into detail about...

We just named our 3 day old babies: Buff Orps: Lemon and Cucumber (named by my 2 and 4 year olds) Red star: Molly Black star: Francine EE's: Darla and Beyonce (Beyonce is the diva of the flock so far)

I plan on putting wire on the floor of the run because our soil is completely full of rocks and it will be extremely labor intensive to build a trench to bury the wire around the footprint of the run. I plan to do sand on top of the wire- deep enough that they'll be able to dig around and not...

This is a dumb question I'm sure... is scratch the same thing as grit?

I'm building a Garden Coop as well and I plan to keep the food and water in the exact same spot, hanging underneath the hen house inside the run. All the photos I've see of the Garden Coop have the food and water in this spot (I'm of the same thinking, that I don't want to take up space...

They are all so cute and I love the names, especially Katniss!
