    Gone and done it

    You're building a coop, but do you have a brooder and all the brooder accessories ready to go? You won't actually need the coop for 5 weeks as they will need a heat source until then :)

    Any Polish Crested Experts Out There?

    I have a week old Polish Crested that I don't know the sex of. I'm really hoping it's a roo, but I wasn't told. Are there any tips or tricks with this breed to look out for as far as early sexing? I'm hoping to find out as early as possible as I want to add a roo to my flock but only need...

    Veggies

    1 day old? I wouldn't do much with them yet. They are very frail the first week. I would stick with your chick starter and very gentle handling if any for the first week. Keeping an eye out for pasty but of course. At a week you can introduce organic plain yogurt, but just a little bit. Chicks...

    6 day old chick just died for no apparent reason :(

    Yes, pasty butt was a different chicken. I've cleaned it and have been monitoring her since. It was one of my Orpie girls that died. Looked at the poop chart. Great reference.

    What to look for and when?

    Hi all, I have been waiting for my girls (at least I hope they are girls) since May. I finally got them today. I ordered 2 buff Orpingtons and 2 silky pullets from MPC. I was shocked at how healthy and perky they were. The minute I put them in the brooder they were chugging water, eating...
