I have six red sex links, five of the six started laying in August one by one. Their combs have turned bright red and grown larger. The one who is not laying has a much smaller comb, although the color has brightened. She is picked on by the others, and is usually alone. Is she a late bloomer...

Well I'm glad to know i'm not crazy.. It just seems strange to send home a single chick. I will be speaking to the teacher about it! Also as far as buying a few more chicks from craigslist, They would need to be the exact same age right? Also how long do you recommend that I keep them apart to...

My niece's class have been incubating eggs, and they will be sending a chick home with each student. Knowing I already have chickens, she asked if her chick could live with me.. and who am I to deny a six year old's pleading request. I have raised chicks before, but I had six. Will one chick...

Mine just started laying too! I've gotten two eggs so far and I am beyond excited! Congratulations on your first egg!!

Thank you so much!

Thank you! And Yes absolutely! There is such a huge wealth of information here!

Hey guys! I'm Mandie, and my husband and I are new to the chicken scene. We got some chicks in April and have since grown quite attached. We have a pretty small flock, only 7 total, but I hope to be adding to that soon! We live in Northern KY and have 2 dogs. I have been reading BYC for quite...

I'm NOT positive at all! It never occurred to me that they would be anything but what was promised. That is until they starting becoming very aggressive and i started noticing a difference in their combs and wattles. I will try to take some pictures of them as soon as they return to the coop...

I got six Rhode Island Red chicks the first week of April, and have since added an adult barred rock rooster to the flock. The Chicks were supposed to be sexed, and "guaranteed" to be female. It has come to my attention ( perhaps a little later than it should have.. but hey I'm new at this! )...
