I just put one in my 6 week old chicks pen, and its working fabulous! They learned how to drink out of it in no time, plus they are cheap .

My father lives about 5 hrs from me, and has plenty of fertilized eggs he could ship me. If I got him to send me some how many days do they have before the egg dies during shipping, and should he pack them with an ice pack? Thanks friends.

I ordered 25 Australorp chicks out of Mcmurray, and have this little surprise. Has a Orange beak, and a little bigger than the Australorps. They are 3 weeks old. Thanks friends

Hey friends, I just recently mixed my own feed , but now I have way too much for 4 chickens. Can I place it in ziploc gallon bags, and put it in my outdoor freezer chest without hurting it? It's crimped oats, sunflower seeds, rice bran, and cracked corn, I also want to add field peas but haven't...

I'm raising 25 Austerlorp chicks, and doing fabulous ! I've had a red light on them, and its wonderful, but tonight I put a white light on them, because its so hot here in Tx right now. No good to do that, lol, they went nuts! Needless to say that the Red light is back on them, they won. One...

In South Tx we are 65 degrees at night, and 85+ during the day. Brooder box is 4' long, and 3' tall x 3' wide. I have a red light mounted at the very top of the box. Question is that are my chicks getting too hot during the day? I have 25 in there, and almost 2 weeks old. I'm not home during...

Ive been wondering what been trying to dig under my pin. Checked my game camera today, and this is what I've caught. A Dog that roams the country roads of where I live. Yes I know where he lives, and No the owners dont care where he goes. I can take care of this problem though.

I know its hard to tell what it is right now, but this guy/gal is twice the size of my 25 Australorp chicks I recieved last week. Here are some more photos of it. Thanks Friends

Hey Friends,the top photo are what all of the chicks look like. The one at the bottom is a tad bigger, and very different looking than all the rest, could it be a little rooster or a different breed?its wing tips are straight, and these are Mcmurray chicks. Thanks for looking

How to advance through the pecking order from being a new egg to something else? I guess it's the number of post right ? Is there anywhere you can read about this on here? Thanks

This morning I got my 25 baby chicks in "Australops". I've got them in a brood box with a Red light heat lamp, water food, and they seem to be doing fabulous! My question is that tonight it'll get around 48 degrees, they are out of the wind, but will that light sustain the heat that they need...

About 2 weeks ago I recently inherited 2 Austerlop hens from my Grandpas passing. Now his neighbors have said that he hasn't had these 2 very long, and I really don't know, because I never paid attention to just these 2, because he had around 15 of them. These hens don't look old by any means...

Did I not trim them back far enough.? I did one wing, but it didn't stop both from getting out of the run. I had a wild cat problem today that were attacking them in my presence , but I added him to the promise land list rather quickly. I truly believe he pushed these fresh clipped birds back...

It's about 5' tall 60'x60'. It looked too short to me, but now I know it is. I have 2 Austerlaup hens, and both have flown out of it today. I went ahead, and cooped them up, because I foresee me putting netting across the top. These birds I have are some energetic rousty ones. They play hard...

Hey friends , I have 2 hens that I've recently acquired from my Grandpas passing. These 2 hens have not laid any eggs since I've moved them here, but I don't know if they've ever laid eggs before, because they look on the young side to me? They are black Australops, beautiful birds! How old does...

I don't want to sound bad here, and yes I'm new to the forum. My Grandpa had placed an order for 25 baby Austrolap, or I believe this is how you say the name? Any how the order I believe will be here the 25th. The deal is that he has just recently passed 2 days ago, and we will dearly miss him...
