OK - weird question: One of my 2-week-old chicks has started clucking loudly when she poops. She squats down, spreads her wings, clucks for a few seconds and the poo hangs on a little before it falls - almost like it's a strain to go. I've checked and she's not pasted up. She is eating and...

The new day old chicks are so tiny compared to the 10-day old clutch from last week! (and the golden comet's face cracks me up in this pic)

Our coop is about 5 feet from our deck so it has access to the outdoor outlets if we decide to run a light and water defroster in the winter. Also I don't want to have to dig paths through lots of snow to get to them this winter so it's also pretty easily accessible from our basement door. I...

My last two for this year - a golden laced wyandotte and black australorp

Went this morning to Bowmans and it was PACKED... Easter chicks? Lol. I was afraid I wouldn't get my GLW! Only the RIR are named - Beyonce is the diva, and the other is going to be Scully I think

Too bad I'm on the other end of the state (Washington co.) otherwise I'd love one! They are so beautiful.

I got one! and a black australorp. They are so tiny compared to my 10 day olds! I almost got struck by chicken math, but luckily the speckled sussex sold out before it was my turn otherwise I would have walked out with more than our coop can realistically accomodate.

Garlic is super easy! It sounds like you're doing it correctly if it's coming back up now. It will grow a little in after planted in the fall (I plant mine around Halloween) then die back during winter then pop back up in spring Hardneck varieties will get the scape sometime around late...

My babies are already getting some impressive wing feathers and they're only 5 days old!

I'm going to go back to the feed store next Thursday and get a Gold Laced Wyandotte, then again on Monday, March 28 for a Buff Orpington. Same situation as before - I'll go to the feed store, it will hang out at work for the day, then 1 hour commute home. Will being alone for an entire day be OK...

My littles are 3 days old today - when is it OK to start giving them treats? I've been sprinkling a little chick grit in their food since I got them on Monday.

I'm going to try to get one on Thursday when the feed store has its next ship date :) I was hesitant to mail order my first time because the shipping is so high for small numbers of chicks and I didn't want to shell out the shipping cost without the confidence of being able to raise the babies...

Well the girls made it home, I think the dog has decided they are fun new squeak toys.

I posted a pic in the First time Chick Parents thread - I ended up with 2 RIR's, 2 barred rocks, and 1 golden comet. I got there 15 minutes after the store opened and they were already sold out of golden laced wyandottes which is a MUST HAVE for me after seeing them at the fair last year so...

My babies (2 RIR, 2 barred rock, 1 golden comet) are sleeping happily while I attempt to get some work done. I think I'm singlehandedly responsible for an overall drop in productivity today

I picked up my new babies this morning - I asked at the feed store and they were hatched yesterday and flown in early this morning so I guess they are still within the 72 hour window. So far they are happily hanging out on the handwarmer towel. I brought a little divided snack tray to put food...

I started this on on fire canning last fall so it has some singed edges Perfect for the chicks though!

New babies straight from the feed store! 2 RIR, 2 Barred Rocks, 1 Golden comet. They're hanging out with me at work today :)

First timer here! I'm picking up my chicks tomorrow at a feed store close to my job so the babies will be hanging out with me at work. I have a meeting in the afternoon at a different location (about 15 min from the office) then will be heading home for the 1 hour commute. I've bought some...

Nope, I'm on the mountain
