    My girls range in age from 6 years to 5 months, all LF. The breeds are listed in my signature.

    I've been thinking of getting a rooster, but worry that my girls would beat up this fellow because he's so young! How old is he now? Would you be able to put off sending him to freezer camp until he's older? Any more pictures would be appreciated!

    Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or Cockerel? Click Here! Thread 2

    I have a 7 1/2 week old Easter Egger who is giving mixed signals. She (hopefully she) started out as a light colored chipmunk chick. She was also noticeably bigger than the other chicks I received, and had more wing feather development. I would have sworn she was a few days older than the other...

    Integrating young pullets with mature hens - what's the best age?

    I've heard and have had good luck with waiting until the chicks stop peeping and are making adult sounds instead.

    Shrubs

    I have a Pee Gee Hydrangea that the chickens love to hide under, but haven't been able to damage. I've never seen them try to eat it and it's been around for years without any apparent ill affects.

    Mama Heating Pad in the Brooder (Picture Heavy) - UPDATE

    I wish I had come across these posts explaining safety issues before setting up. I know I should have read all the pages in this thread, but I only read the first dozen or so, plus some at the end. Might I suggest an edit to the first post, that explains and shoes pictures of the set-up? This is...

    Mama Heating Pad in the Brooder (Picture Heavy) - UPDATE

    I am in tears right now as I type this. I went to go check on the brooder this morning and found my little Blue Ameraucana chick wedged between the hardware cloth and the heating pad, dead. I feel like this is all my fault. I let her down! The system seemed to be working wonderfully. They've...

    Chick with bad aim?

    I had a chick that did this! She could eat from a pile of food but would always peck to the side of any individual item offered to her. (We named her Magoo!). She eventually grew out of it. I think her beak was just a little long for her face, which affected her ability to focus. Once she grew...

    Baby Chick Pictures!!!!! POST!

    Here are our new babies who arrived yesterday! (Egg, courtesy of my Black Copper Maran, to show size and just because. ;) ) Blue Ameraucana. Thought she was going to be black at first, because she seems very dark, but the little feather tips coming in on her wings are blue. Splash...

    Mama Heating Pad in the Brooder (Picture Heavy) - UPDATE

    After reading this thread, I decided to try this method for my chicks, who just arrived this morning! I had the heating pad on all last night so it would be nice and toasty for them when they arrived. I was a little concerned yesterday, as the thermometer placed inside the cave barely registered...

    CHICKS SHIPPED!! YAY

    My tracking info says that they're due to arrive today at 3pm. It's 3:27 and I'm afraid to start any projects or run any errands in case I get the call. I know they're most likely fine, but won't be happy until they're here!

    CHICKS SHIPPED!! YAY

    I have an order coming from MPC this week too! I also had to substitute a chick for a Golden cuckoo maran that didn't hatch. In my case, I substituted a Lavender orpington. I had wanted one when I placed my order, but they were sold out at the time. I've ordered from MPC twice before. Once they...
