My chickens are 15 weeks old, and I am running out of chick feed this week. I want to get another 50 pound bag to save the trip to the store. Can they switch to layer feed at this point or should I buy another 50 pound bag of chick feed? Thanks

My chicks are about 4.5 weeks old now. Supposed to be Delawares (but I got them at a feed store). Their names are Cornbread and Butterbean. Can you please let me know if these are pullets? We can't have a roo in the city. Thanks. Butterbean's saddle feathers Cornbread's head...

Hi all! I'm new to chickens, we'll be picking up 4 one week old chicks this Saturday so I'm getting excited! I am a fairly experienced dog trainer and I am very interested in reading more about clicker training chickens. I've watched some great youtube videos and done some googling but I'm...

Hello, We're new to chickens, I've been wanting them for some time now but we just returned from a trip to Kauai where we spent a lot of time with feral chickens and have decided to take the plunge. A local (kind of) feed store has chicks through July (we'd like to get chicks because I would...
