Yes, but winter has set in for us, so shipping is not really a current option:(

Southeast alaska, and yes. Roosters are not allowed within city limits, which annoys me because we have neighbors with dogs that bark constantly, but a rooster crowing is too loud. :(

I received three cockerels in my order of female chicks this spring. We are very sad that both of our Sumatra chickens are boys:( I am desperately trying to re-home them all locally, but not currently having any luck. Just pay shipping! These boys are too beautiful for the stew pot! Contact me...

Thank you for the help. Unfortunately we live close to neighbors and won't be able to keep him unless he is super quiet:( Hopefully the feathers are just playing tricks on me. What about the comb says roo? The color?

This is Hedwig, our 6 week old Easter Egger. Every time I lay eyes on her this past week, the tail feathers yell rooster at me. She was purchased (along with a slew of other females) as a sexed female Easter Egger from Murray mcmurray... But I'm having doubts. Is our Hedwig a rooster?? [/IMG][/IMG]

Mims- your set up looks great! My babies spent their first night in the coop last night, so I don't get to use this method for this round of babies, but next time I will for sure!

Thanks, it's already red around the edges, I think it's safe to say that Sherlock is a boy.

Hi all, our chickies are now 4 weeks old, and above is our mystery chick. Has a big comb, which makes me think roo, but dark wash legs wich has me hoping pullet... Anyone to confirm/deny?

This is absolutely brilliant. I have a small cheap tent just like this that I bring camping as a back up tent for my dog (in case he gets super wet etc). Do these keep the dust at least semi contained? If so, I am totally using this idea, our babies are about 4 weeks old now, and the dust is...

We also have a super runty chick (pictured at middle). She is the same age as all the others, but 1/4-1/2 of the size of the others. I have some of the nutri drench on order, but don't have access to a feed store to just pick some up. I have a packet of nutritional powder (to be mixed with...

Thank you so much. I will plan on ordering some, however I live in southeast Alaska, and don't have the option of just going down to the feed store. When I got the chicks, they came from mcmurrays hatchery, and I have some powdered nutrition stuff that came with them, would that be a comparable...

Hi everyone, we currently have 15, 3 week old chicks. It's a mixed bag, but one of them is significantly smaller than the others. The chick in question is a small breed anyway, a Phoenix, however she is much smaller than any of the other chicks. She is feathering, but slower than the others. She...

Darn, if it's true, maybe it'll be a quiet one?? Here's hoping

[/IMG] Here he/she is again, 2 1/2 weeks old. (And totally unimpressed with my photo taking) This one is our biggest chick, and has gotten quite the defined comb, which makes me think rooster. Thoughts?

Beautiful!

Thank you! I think I will wait, maybe I'll start turning the lamp off intermittently for a couple of hours in the evenings while I am home. I don't want to freeze their little tail feathers, but making them cold hardy will do them good in the long run. Where I am at, days at 70 degrees or above...

Hi all, thank you all for being so welcoming! Spin off question to are my chicks to hot, didn't want to thread hijack. :) My (15) girls are now 2 weeks old. I still have them under a heat lamp, however I am wondering if they are ready to go without the lamp while I am away at work (about 6...

Heck yes! They're ready, kick those birdies outside:) Honestly, they will probably be happy for the move! Disclaimer: not an expert, but have raised chickens before;)

Wow Michael Oshay! I hope Alaska can offer you everything you're looking for. I am a severe asthmatic myself, and I totally appreciate the clean air I get here! One thing that I didn't think of before is the light. I don't notice it, but everyone I have known to move here notices how light it...

Oh yes, forgot about the moose. They can be mean I hear. Just peaked at home prices in the anchorage area. They're a bit cheaper than where I'm at, and land is way cheaper. (Our ~1/6 of an acre lot that our house sits on is valued at 90K for reference). But it makes sense, minimal flat...
