Received this batch of cuties from ideal yesterday! I ordered 10 silver laced polish & 10 ameracauna pullets. Not one death & received exactly what I ordered with no extras. I ordered 10 naked neck pullets in november of last year & they arrived healthy as well. I love ideal bc they're close &...
I would think its a bit small, but if she will be roaming during the day I guess it would make a good safe place to stay. Have you considered building one? Might be cheaper & you could make it bigger. Just a thought! Im not very handy with tools but had my grandfather help build mine out. :)...
Well I hope the remaining babies survive fine! My last order was 10 turken pullets from them & they survived...ish. Shortly after they were old enough to join the rest of the flock i discovered hawks LOVE turkens, only one survived. Hopefully this is the last time I need hatchery stock. I made...
Oh no! I hope that doesnt happen with mine too! I ordered them from ideal as well...Im sorry your babies died! Did they replace them? This is only my second time dealing with ideal & I have yet to be disappointed.
Got my first batch of SL chicks in today! They're so cute! All 20 chicks (10SL polish & 10 ameracauna) arrived happy & healthy. Can't wait to watch them grow up.

I went out to feed the flock & noticed my silkie hen looking like this! She was fine yesterday, the coop & run are completely enclosed but I have found baby possums in the coop before. Could a possum have done this?! The silkies cant get too high up at night & where they sleep is probably the...
I just finished my watering system last night! I ordered the nipples off eBay, just watch the source. The threads were messed up which made my project a lot more difficult than it should have been. I ended up wrapping duct tape around the last hole bc I just couldn't get the last nipple in...
I am happy to report she is eating & drinking. Balance is still an issue but she is in a "hospital" kennel recovering. Hopefully she will get herself balanced out & be able to go back with her sisters soon. They've been out with the flock for about a week & this is the first incident. They...
One of my 4 week old naked neck chicks were attacked by my older hen. She has a bruise on the back of her head & cannot stand up for very long. It's like she can't balance. I don't see any injuries on her leg, just her head. Hoping its not neurological & she will get better. I've separated her...
