I have a newly broody BLRW and I was wondering if I put some silkie eggs under here, would she hatch and adopt them? And if so, do I need to separate them from the rest of the flock to keep them safe, or will she take care of that part too?

I'm not sure. The description in their bin was just Buff Brahma.

This is her next to one of the brahmas I got on the same day, so they are the same age.

I've scoured the internet for pictures to see if I could come close to matching her. I'm new to raising chickens, so I thought I'd ask here. If you look close, her neck and head is more grey than her body, and her tail feathers have some black streaks in them. She is smaller than the rest of the...

I got this girl, hopefully, from the BLRW bin at my farm store 8 weeks ago. I mostly took her bc she didn't look like any of the others and I thought it'd be a fun surprise. Any ideas on what breed she is?

I've been working on the integration for almost two mos with my 16 week olds and 8 week olds. 4 older and 5 younger. I've read and followed all the rules about integration, been more than patient but still having issues with the big girls chasing the Littles completely out of our yard and into...

Feeder for fermented feed? I'm looking for ideas on how to serve the fermented feed. Up until now, mine were small enough to just eat our of an old cake pan, but now I need something bigger as I've added six new girls to my flock. I'd love to see pics of what y'all are using. :)

I have 4 chicks that are about 7/8 weeks old, and I plan on getting a few more baby chicks in two weeks, I'll keep them separate for the first few weeks, but when the new chicks get their feathers and are introduced to the older chicks (who will be chick-teens by then), will I have to separate...

And @Lucyluvchickens I'm kind of the same as far as not worrying too much until I really need to. Trying not to be a helicopter chick momma. And what source of probiotics can I give them? I tried yogurt and they weren't loving it. Maybe I'll try the fermented feed.

Thanks for the feedback. I am not feeding them medicated starter, I just looked at the bag of feed. So, I should get the corid and give it to all of them?

I have 4 chicks and one has had diarrhea for about a week. It seemed to improve for a couple of days, but today it looks like tan soup and stinks worse. I can't seem to identify which one it's coming from either. I have been alternating plain water and electrolyte mixed. Any ideas. No one has...

I'm a first timer, but I think I might have a rooster on my hands...I took two pictures of each of my Dominiques. I think they are about 4-5 weeks old. The first two pics are of GO-GO, which is who I think it the rooster? The second set of pics are of Holly. Thoughts?

So we took them on a field trip to check out the new coop today. Now to do some furniture arranging and decorating the inside. I think we will go with the plywood roof and we'll see how it goes without adding any more hardwire cloth for now. Like y'all said we can always add it later. ONE MORE...

Thanks for the feedback. Do you think we should add hardwire cloth all the way up the walls too? Even though we are adding doors to the whole shed?

Hello, my husband and I are building our coop inside an barn shed. We will be adding doors to the shed, but we're wondering about the roof...suggestions/thoughts please... We'd like to just add a plywood roof so we can store old wood scraps up on top, but two questions from that idea are, 1...

Hello, I'm a newbie chick momma, and I have a question. We lost one baby Sicilian Butter Cup chick last week and I am pretty sure it was from mushy chick. When I noticed that she wasn't well, I separated her from the others, made sure she had electrolytes, ect. But she didn't last longer than 24...
