We have three, darling, week and a half old chicks. Not sure about the breeds and genders...could you give us your ideas? Thanks! Here is Chick #1. Her name is Good Queen Bess, not sure what we'll do if she is a rooster ;) One thing we noticed that sets her apart from our other little yellow...

My mama R.I.R and her 3, 4-day old chicks were out in their fence when our puppy escaped from her yard and tried to go after them. She barked and went near the fence but did not end up clearing the fence. Mama hen, needless to say, was freaking out and flying at the fence. After we got the pup...

I have a small coop with one hen and 3 babies that she hatched yesterday. I've read about introducing chicks to a broody hen...just wondering if there is any way I could purchase a few more chicks and get her to accept them? Will she "adopt" them along with the three babies she already has? If...

Ok thank you!

There are cedar/juniper trees (not sure which ) over the area we will be putting our chicken run. Not sure if the berries dropping into the run would be a problem. Does anyone know if these berries could be harmful to chickens? Thanks!

Thanks everyone! We have an AMAZING neighbor! :) We'll post some pics of our little peeps once they hatch!

We are completely new to this whole chicken thing, and I was so grateful to stumble upon this website! A neighbor has donated a coop and has a brooding hen who is sitting on eggs. She has offered to give us the hen and chicks as soon as they hatch; probably this Monday! We're a little excited ;)...
