One of my White Leghorn girls laid her very first egg today! She'd started her little chicken squat dance a couple of weeks ago and had been making little 'nests' in the coop during the day so my husband and I had been eagerly awaiting an egg and today was the day! I noticed she wasn't out...

Here in Tucson it's been climbing into the 90s for the first time this week and past weekend...it was nearly 97 yesterday! I read a lot of good ideas on keeping chicks/chickens cool during the summer a few days ago, but I wanted to see if anybody has any new, fresh ideas. I'm also hoping...

I feel like most of the questions I've posted have been kind of silly, but us newbies have to learn somehow right? Anyways...I want to let my older girls free range in my yard in areas that have weeds. They have had the chance to do so in the past and they really enjoyed it. The only thing...

So, I love this forum and the fact that so many people ask questions that I would have never thought to ask OR that I was thinking of asking! So, my silly question is this; I have 2 almost week old (will be one week on Saturday) chicks, 1 Silver Laced Wyandotte, and 1 Buff Orpington. Their...

So glad we finished the coop...the girlies have been living in it for a little over a week now and they LOVE it...I did end up taking out the wood chips (added them to my raised garden bed project) since they didn't seem to like it quite as much as the dirt...they LOVE the dirt...after I took...

My girls have been out of the laundry room and their brooder for almost a full week now! It is so nice being able to do laundry without a huge tub in the way and I have to say, I love not having to constantly clean a messy brooder! It really was time to get them out...they were getting so big...

Hello! So, I'm new to this awesome community and I posted a picture of my chicks in my introduction and was informed about this thread where someone might possibly be able to help me figure out what breed my lovely little chicks are. I think they are about 5-6 weeks old and they're...
