    Really? I was wondering about the Wyandottes....I've also thought maybe Japanese Bantam....I live in eastern Ky so I can't see a public school getting super fancy eggs to hatch.

    This is my first time raising Chicks, though I have had chickens before they came to me grown. I have quickly become the crazy chicken lady to all my friends! Haha Today my husband brought home 3 more chicks. These come to me because the public school system thinks it's a good idea to hatch...

    Wow! Everyone's coops look great! I don't have a picture of mine but I'm currently revamping an older coop that I used in the past. I already have my chicks in a brooder, in my bathroom.

    Chicks Keep Dying! HELP

    Ok.....that's what I was thinking now that they are inside. When they were outside I had it like that because it was so cold. I will re-adjust the lamp & keep an eye on them.

    Chicks Keep Dying! HELP

    Thank you all for quick response. No "pasty butt" I checked that first. The tote is medium in size but I plan on getting a bigger one when I go to the store tomrrow. I also plan on getting a thermometer....I have been going off the chicks & how they are acting. Now that they are inside they...

    Chicks Keep Dying! HELP

    Hello.... I'm a newbie to raising chicks. I've had chickens before but they came to me already grown. After a predator broke into my Coop & killed my chickens a couple years back I've decided to try my hand at raising chicks. I went to Tractor Supply & bought 6 pullet chicks & 6 Rhode Island...
