I think that all chicks purchased at a big store (Wilco, Coastal, etc) are vaccinated. If you buy from a farm or local breeder, they might not be vaccinated. We are new to this too. We bought some chicks from Coastal, and then got some Buckeyes from a local breeder (within a couple days of...

My Buff Orp started brooding in the nest box. The chicks are hatching now... a couple of days early! When should I move them to a separate area? The nest box is more than 12" off the floor. The hen is a ferocious broody - she doesn't want anyone around her chicks! This is our first time.

Hi everyone! We moved to our new farm 10/16/13. It came with 10 chickens, 1 rooster, 3 guinea fowl, 4 turkeys, and 3 goats. I've never lived on a farm or raised any of these critters, but I am LOVING it! I am living the dream that I've had since I was a little girl 55 years ago. Better late...
