I was reading yesterday that you have to be careful about the calcium level in the feed. Too high of calcium for the chicks can cause problems in the long run.

You all were supposed to tell me "absolutely no, not under any circumstances" and talk me out of it lol

I was also wondering as far as quarantine issues

Saturday we picked up six babies from a feed store but as we all know, this ladies are addictive. I am considering stoping by a different feed store tomorrow (tractor supply) to see what they have. Question though, since they would be from a different store and about 5 days younger, would I need...

Maybe red sexlinks?

Very creative!

After over two years of not having any chickens we went out and picked up 6 new babies yesterday. We got 3 barred rocks and3 leghorns. They are all supposed to be pullets. They came from a local feed store, but I forgot to ask how old they are. They have some feathers on their wing tips, I am...

Quote: Can't help but feel attacked by this post..... I'm hoping that was not your intention though. Honestly, I thought that the temp was fine. I have not seen them huddling together so I assumed it was not too cold. As a matter of fact, today when it was about 90* it seemed like it was too...

That is such a sweet/beautiful picture!

My 3 1/2 year old tried to lock me in the coop today. He closed the door and closed the latch. Luckily he did feel like letting me out. Although, being an a-frame run I could probably flip it over, but its heavy so it would be hard... and plus I JUST thought of that.

My girls are 2 weeks. On Monday I am going to my parents for 2 days (I should be back Wednesday night). So I'll be gone for just over 48 hours. I have been putting the girls outside during the day but bringing them in at night. Right now, I have been putting them in a cat carrier at night (they...

I don't know how to help you... haven't had to deal with that, just wanted to say that I am so sorry!!

Yes they are all Barred Rocks. I got them all from the feed store last Monday. I really hope they are girls cause I paid for 4 girls and 1 rooster. He did have his head marked. Any idea on just the 2 having tail feathers? Oh, and I don't know where they get their chicks from.

awww they're cute! What are they? I like the little tufts on their heads.

My previous birds were free range.... note the word previous. When I got them I had a cocker spaniel and a pit bull. They both did really well. I kept them away the first few days, but once I started giving them some time outside, I would have the dogs out there as well. I was outside during...

They way I do it is I upload mine to BYC- at the top of the page (not the very top that is the "menu" for the whole site, but the forum top) and click on uploads. Once I upload them, I then copy the image line (there will be an image selection and a thumbnail selection). Copy the image line and...

I knew you were gonna ask for pics! Had to go take them and get them uploaded.... they were not very cooperative today. Hiding out under the hen house and I wasn't able to pick them up and hold each one for a pic. Tried to get combs and tails These are the 2 with the tail feathers This is...

I'm having the same problem with my gang. I feel like they aren't eating the treats that I am giving them (they are 2 weeks), but the closer attention I pay I realize that they are nibbling at everything I give them. I'm just used to when I gave the big girls treats and they gobbled everything...
