Our chicks are 4 weeks old and would have roosted a couple of weeks ago if they could have reached the top of the make-shift coop. We're going to give them some low roosts, because we're not wanting to encourage them to fly out at this time. (They're in a temp enclosure in the laundry room...

Aw, that she is safely roosting and will be back in the morning, looking for her crumbles.

My first flock of chicks definitely ate ants. Our current batch haven't been outside yet. That is curious. A lot of dead ants...outside. Are they fire ants, or sugar ants? If they are fire ants, if two colonies get too close to each other, supposedly they will try to kill each other...

I'm glad he is doing so well and the vet liked what you've done so far. Be careful while whacking those trees. Is there rain in the forecast soon? I don't remember where you live but is the area isolated enough from woods that you could burn out the grove? (instead of having to get in it and...

I've had 1 teeny chick who hasn't grown since she was maybe 1 week old or less. Of course I had grown attached to her and was pulling for her to survive. In the past week she had gone downhill and yesterday she died. I guess it's nature's way. ETA: The chicks are 4 weeks old now.

Pretty babies! Enjoy!

Pretty babies!

Chickenfeet, Comet is a powder cleanser, like you would use in the kitchen or bathroom. Did he tell you how he used it, without it bothering the chickens? I hope the mothballs work. Please post about it if it does. Hubby found a 5-6 foot rat snake aka chicken snake in our shed, where the...

Love it!

:happy dance: I'm so glad mama skunk came back for them!!

Wow! That looks great. You need to give classes on the art of spouse persuasion, lol.

Looks great!

Chirpchirp, when are they supposed to/estimated to arrive? I was the exact same way about mine. It was all I could do to try to stay calm, when I really wanted to go wrap them in bubble wrap and carry them through the postal system myself. I did not realize that electrolytes could cause...

Great customer service! Thanks for letting us know the update. That totally changes my opinion of them.
