Just found out about sexting by feathers.
I hatched three chicks, two yesterday one today. The one from today isn't old enough/ dry enough
But here are the others. So far one pullet one cockerel, see if yall agree or have input. I know it isn't 100% and I will find out as weeks go on
My black austrolop become broody a week ago. I tried looking up and cold water nothing helped. Today I got three eggs due to hatch May 29, 1 barred rock and two australops. I never wanted two of the same breed. But I am on an island, oahu... I have 6 hens and 2 pullets. Any tips?

Never had the issue, I get get mine from the beach and its a 1 mile drive and I get it from the back where trees grow so we have all kinds of bugs, crabs and sticks in it. They go crazy.

I use one 50 lbs bag a month which has costs me $35 and I get about 5 eggs a day sometimes less sometimes 6 ... So 150 eggs a month...

My birds mostly free range. So we have a small coop and run is about 3 ft high. I added more, need a bigger coop so this time my husband is building it. The run is huge! And it is about 6-612 ft tall. Which will allow cleaning easily but now I feel the height is almost wasted space. Do y'all...
Oh my, we don't have AC and it is in the mid 80s. I was out all morning and came home, omg! Tiny island home w chicks in it.
I turned the light off, cleaned the cage (as I do daily) and took it outside. They can come inside at night.
Where do you keep yours? Mine aren't even 2 weeks old.almost.
did they like them? i gave them to mine the other day, since my son pealed one and then decided he doesn't want it .. he is two. but they weren't interested. my last chicks always had watermelon as first treat.
