I posted a thread yesterday asking for suggestions for getting chicks in New Jersey. Someone suggested ordering from Meyer Hatchery, so I was curious about people’s experience with them.
Is their sexing normally accurate? Are the chicks healthy? Also, they’re a day old when shipped, correct...
Hello!
I haven’t been around here for a while...kinda missed it!
Anyway, we’re looking into possibly getting a few more chicks this year. We’re a little hesitant to get day-olds online from past experience, so we’re trying to find somewhere local that we could get week-old chicks.
We’re...
I didn’t know where else to go. My dog scared some baby bunnies out from under our deck (where I assume their best is). I saw the mom yesterday, so we’re just keeping an eye on them until we see her come back. The problem is, one got so spooked it ran all the way to my patio. I don’t know if the...
I just posted about my chicken who hasn’t been feeling well for a while. I know it’s gross, but she just pooped on me. Does it look like she has worms?
About a week ago I posted about my chicken not feeling well she’s still not okay. My father and I have been spending time with her cleaning off her butt and making sure she eats and drinks. We’ve given her nutridrench, electrolytes, vitamin B and dewormer. She’s standing more than she has been...
My black Minorca (almost three years old) has been acting strange for the past day or so. I haven’t been home, so I haven’t been able to monitor whether she is eating or drinking. About an hour ago, we let the four hens out in the yard for a bit, and she was out and about, but as soon as she...
We ordered 5 6-week-old pullets from My Pet Chicken, and they will be shipping on April 17th. We’re getting one lavender Orpington, one blue laced red Wyandotte, one Swedish flower hen, and two olive Eggers.
So far, I think the Orpington will be Willow, and the olive Eggers possibly Cricket...
We live near some woods, in a place full of birds, squirrels, and chipmunks. Needless to say, these little dudes take advantage of the easy food access. I'm looking for a feeder that would make it easy for our chickens and ducks to eat, and hard for the wild ones to. Maybe something that hangs...
I have a duckling who from what i can tell is a drake (voice not fully developed yet). He seems to stand up straighter than my rouen, which when he was younger led me to believe he was a runner. Now that his feathers are coming in, he looks more like a swedish that just stands up pretty...
