I have 7 buff orpington chickens that are a year old. I raised them inside my house when they were little and moved them outside in March. They intitially slept in the coop. Then it got hot and they started sleeping on the cage that is in their run. Imagine a 4 foot by 4 foot cage that is wood...

This is the first chicken that has died. They are 13 months old. I’m not sure I handled it right. The chicken was very weak. Chicken was probably going to die in a few hours if not sooner. I dug a hole. Put the chicken in and covered the hole. The other chickens were watching us. It didn’t feel...

We have 8 buff orpington chickens. All of them hens. They are now 13 months old. We live in Dallas, TX and we keep them in our backyard. They have a nice coop, fully fenced in with predator guard around the coop so nothing can dig under the coop and get in that way. Since they were a few months...

I was out of grit and food. I went to the feed store and they only had mini crushed granite starter grit 50 lbs. There is no information on Google about this. I did read about sand being considered grit and this bag is for sure bigger than grains of sand. Is there any reason I can't use...

We have 13 buff orpington chicks that are about 2 and 1/2 weeks old. They are all supposed to be female, but I know they can't sex them to 100% accuracy. Love this site so not trying to blame it, but this site says Euless, tx does not have a limit on chickens. I double checked before ordering on...

and I have no buyers yet

I made what is according to my wife a very rash decision. I bought 15 buff orphington chickens because I have always wanted chickens. I want to egg the eggs, be friend with them, but still try to find a way to eat them when they stop laying eggs. It is cold in texas so I have them in my room...

The other one died. I didn't kill it. I noticed that it has a black line on its head and back (new). It then started to look sluggish. I dipped its beak in water, showed it some food. It looked like it wanted to sleep. it's eyes were pretty much closed. Later I checked on it and it was outside...

Thanks for the replies. I will try to keep the other chick. I also think some will die on their own or be roosters. It's all about space really. I am buying two formex extra large coops. They hold 12 small or 6 big chickens each. They are 800 each. I am building a large fence around...

Well, I ordered 15 buff orphington due to that being the minimum. This was the absolute most I could care for because I live in the city...like house to house, but it is legal to own female chickens. They had this thing called meyer meal plan. I thought this would be a booklet on what to feed...
