    Death in One Day

    Yesterday, I let my 7 birds out of the coop for some free range time. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. They all came running out and followed me around the yard for a while before going about their business. About 2 hours after dark, I went to the coop to lock up for the night...

    Adding to Flock

    My Silver Laced Wyandotte died last night and I am looking at options to replace her. If I went with baby chicks, can they be introduced to the flock (6 remaining) with the hopes one will foster them, or are they best inside until they are feather out? I'm not really feeling the whole...

    Bumps on top of eggs

    Can anyone tell me what these bumps are on top of the egg. I suspect calcium issues. The shells for this hen are thinner than the rest of my flock, but have these hard bumps.

    Question about Coop training

    Yesterday I moved 11 5-6 week olds out into their coop. I have read that it takes some help at first to get them into the coop at night. I like letting them into the run during the day, and they have all come down the ladder successfully. Today, we will be gone to the lake all day and I am...

    White Rock or CornishX

    Thanks everyone! I'm glad y'all agree they're Rocks, and I was thinking the same with the bigguns that they were cockerels. I hope one of them is a female. They are all pretty big. I also have a Lavender Orpington that us larger than the others. Guess I'll just wait till their saddle feathers...

    White Rock or CornishX

    I was wondering if there is a way to tell the difference early on. I got 3 of these as White Rocks, but they have grown so much faster then the rest of the other breeds I have. Granted they may have been up to two weeks older than the rest, but they have gotten huge comparatively. I am worried...

    Brinsea Eco Glow not warm enough?

    I have been using the Ecoglow for about 3-4 weeks now. No problems at all. I have 12 chicks in my brooder with the Ecoglow 20 and they all seem to use it well. I haven't temped under it, but I made sure it was low enough (lowest setting) so that their backs contacted the plate. When I first put...
