    People in Texas, don't buy from M&T Rabbits and Poultry Farm!

    That's a bit rude, jillscoop. I never said I was against raising chickens for meat. In fact, I believe that's the responsible way to do it, instead of buying meat from the supermarket and supporting the way they treat their poor birds. I just don't believe any place should just waste any chicks...

    People in Texas, don't buy from M&T Rabbits and Poultry Farm!

    I guess you're right, cmfarm, that might have been an excessive jump to the conclusion without any real information, but I did ask the young man that was helping me that if they were selling only sexed chicks, then where did the males go? My husband than made a dumb joke like, "Probably out back...

    People in Texas, don't buy from M&T Rabbits and Poultry Farm!

    Does anyone know how to file a complaint with the ASPCA? I've been looking, but have only been able to find how to file or call if you live in New York… which doesn't really apply..

    People in Texas, don't buy from M&T Rabbits and Poultry Farm!

    I did complain but was ignored. I guess I should have walked out, but I had called ahead and had them set aside the chicks for me and had driven an hour and half in my car with a broken air conditionitioning to get there, so I guess I was feeling obligated and angry at the owners for everything...

    People in Texas, don't buy from M&T Rabbits and Poultry Farm!

    Went here for the first time the other day and bought 15 chicks. I was overcharged a dollar per chick on one breed compared to the prices on their website and while there I heard a lower price quoted to someone else for the same breed chicks I was being charged more for. Wether on purpose or...

    Baby silkie won't open its eye

    Update: I just picked it up and thought there was something stuck to it's chest. There wasn't. It's missing all the feathers on a section of it's chest. It just feels like a callous there. Anyone out there have any ideas?

    Baby silkie won't open its eye

    Also, she seems a bit more lethargic and hanging out by the heat lamp more than normal. I've been encouraging her to drink, but I don't know what else to do...

    Baby silkie won't open its eye

    Hello! First time chicken owner here, so everything's new to me. My littlest and favorite chick won't open one of her eyes today. It's not stuck shut, she just won't open it. I removed a bit of debri or something from the other eye earlier today and then this closed eye has now got some goop...

    is my chick sick?

    So yesterday I found one of my 4-5 week old silkies dead in the brooder. They weren't over heated. I've been keeping their water clean. It's vent wasn't clogged. I didn't see any wounds or anything on it..I just don't know. It had been being lethargic, not hanging with the rest of the chicks...

    Is this a silkie?

    So I went and bought 6 silkie chicks about a week ago from a breeder. All of the other chicks are around the same size, but this one is a lot smaller and has a different pattern on it. I was trying to get one silkie of each color to add some variety to my flock and she brought this one out when...

    "Loner" Chick

    Hi! First time chick owner here. So I'm pretty much ignorant about most everything just now. I went and picked myself up 6 Silkies today, all around 4 ish weeks old, and noticed that since getting them home, one is more lethargic and anti social than the rest. He just plopped down to sleep all...
