I have 2 that are supposed to be RIR chicks (but I think they are production reds) have pink combs and no Wattles. I am convinced the largest is a Cockrell.
Yes I did but darn phone is being stubborn. I don't have a very good signal out here in the woods. I even tried going to desktop mode....nothing. :(
Will try again later I guess.

There is never a dull moment with them is there...lol. I got one I am sure is a girl that just goes nuts and fusses every time I leave the pen and can't go with me. Henrietta has been that way since I got her at 1 week old. She actually calls out for the others to follow me, gives up...

I was telling a friend about the FF and they feed medicated feed always to their chicks starting out but they wanted to maybe try the FF to see how it works. I was asked if she could do it with the feed she has and that is the reason behind the question. They don't have Internet or...
Also with the chick story, they haven't used a broody light to keep warm for 2 weeks before going outside. I live in SC and the temps are near 80 during the day and 68 at night.....lol. Silly babies. ;)

I understand this is the "Natural" chicken thread/forum and respect your views where this is concerned. Being how the area I am in has had problems in the past with coci, I feel better starting out with medicated feed. If I had a person in my area that I could get POL pullets to...

Thank you for answering me. I was just curious as to the validity of whether they vaccinated or not. I have asked where I received my chicks but of course if they didn't pay for the vaccinations they could lie and say they did. I was just wondering if people felt they should use medicaid...
I just had the funniest thing happen. I have 6 week old chicks that just went outside in the temporary chick pen. This is only the second night outside.
Last night I go out to see if they have made it inside the chick house and find them asleep under the chick house instead. I pick them up...
I have a question ? If you get chicks from a feed store, who get there chicks from a hatchery how can you be sure they have been vaccinated? Would you still not give medicated feed and hope for the best?
Also why can't you do FF with medicated feed?
Sorry, I am trying to read this forum...
I have a quick question. You all talk about FF and how good it is for your chickens , what feed do you use for this exactly? I'm not very far in this forum and trying to catch up but it is going to take me awhile. I have only been on BYC for a month or or so. Thank You. :)
Hello everyone. My name is Mona and I'm a lurker....lol. Actually I'm starting over after 15 years of having no chickens and trying to learn what all is new in the chicken world. Love all the pictures and information I've been able to see thus far. ( trying to catch up is crazy ) Don't think...
