Thank you!! I was hoping they are both pullets because I can't have a rooster in the city. The buffs are so sweet, I'd be sad if I had to give one up!

I have 5 hatchery chicks who are all about 5 weeks old. I noticed one of the two BO chicks is feathering differently and still barely has tail feathers and the feathers in general seem shorter and less full. So far the combs on both birds look the same. Thoughts? Is it still too early to tell...

Thank you both!! I will try turning off the heat light completely at 3 weeks, and I'll plan on putting them outside around 4 weeks. They already like to sleep in a pile (usually on the "cool side" of the brooder) so what you are saying makes total sense!

Hi everyone! I have a question and I thought it would be easier to ask all of you, since you understand the temps and climate. My chicks will be three weeks old on Monday. How soon can I move them outside? Right now I have the heat lamp set to 85 degrees. I currently have them in a spare room...

We are putting the finishing touches on our coop. The majority of the materials (90% of the wood) was found for free on Craigslist. We used old fence pickets for the siding. I haven't decided if I want to paint, but for now I am liking the 'rustic' look. We bought our house a year ago, which...

Hi! My husband and I are big Star Trek fans! We even had a Star Trek themed wedding cake and custom cake topper. I think Voyager and Enterprise are my favorites but I love them all!

The day they arrived and one week later!! The EE is starting to get feathers a little faster than the others (but they're not far behind!) So much fun watching them grow!

Fell asleep in my hand...aww

My 5 baby chicks arrived yesterday morning! Here's a few pics. I have two BO, two SLW, and one EE. One of the two SLW is very skittish so I wasn't able to get her picture out of the brooder yesterday. All the others seemed content to sit and snuggle in my hand. They are so cute and so much fun...

They are here! All 5 arrived safe and sound. They are already eating a little bit and moving around. I'm impressed they got here so fast! The post office called me around 9am

Just got email confirmation that my chicks have been shipped!

Welcome COchix!

I hope your chicks arrive safe and sound! My chicks will also be traveling through Denver but I'm only an hour from there. Thinking positive thoughts to both you and your chicks today!

My chicks should be shipped tomorrow!! So excited! The brooder (an old 50+ gallon aquarium) is pretty much ready -- might make some changes to how we mount the heat lamp. Not sure if we will use the aquarium the entire time. Once the chicks get a little bigger we might move them to a large all...

Congrats on the new home, trsturself!

Newchicky, what happened to your chicks is terrible! I'm glad you are getting some support from the customer complaints people. I am also getting my chicks from MPC...

Latestarter, thank you for the warm welcome! This place is great. :) Thanks for the P.O. tips. I think I'll stop by or give them a call in the next few days.

So glad I found this thread! I ordered baby chicks from a hatchery two weeks ago, and they will ship on Monday 6/23! I'm getting more and more anxious the closer it gets! I'll be a first time chicken mom so I'm nervous and excited all at once. We can have up to 10 hens in the city, but we...

Very cute!

My husband and I bought a house last summer and have slowly started to create some self-sufficiency. We don't have a lot of yard space, but we're trying to take advantage of what we have. Our first baby chickens will be arriving next week! I'm so excited! We are building the coop from as many...
