Thanks! True, time will indeed tell. Luckily we have a friend with a farm who will take the lil beauty if we hear a crow... Crossing my fingers for a pullet. I just love the speckles!

This lil chicken is 13 weeks. I decided a couple weeks back he was a roo because some of the tail feathers are quite curvy, and this chick has always been a bit of a loner and now, more aggressive. What say all you more knowledgeable types? Thank u in advance!! Bridget[/IMG][/IMG]

Thank you for the reply. I will go ahead and get the mix you mentioned. She is just fine this morning thankfully. They do have a bit of space in the brooder, but I lifted the lamp a bit furth away this morning. I had them out for quite a while before she was acting that way, so maybe she got...

I have a little two week old silver Wyandotte chick. She was being super cuddly with me this evening when I had her and her three other flockmates out after I had cleaned their brooder. Now she is acting strange, wobbly and almost appearing to seize up as she tries to sleep. She is holding her...

Thank you! That looks very plausible, we just wanted to know what she would look like all grown up! We really wanted an all black hen for our flock, but she is so docile and sweet. We love her anyway!

My roomie and I got this lil chick a week ago. There were a bunch of chicks of different ages/breeds in together and the girl helping us wasn't quite sure what kind she was. We were trying to get a Black Austrorp hen, we clearly picked wrong! Now I am not sure what she is... She was nearly all...

Hey all, I have been so excited preparing for my new chicken adventure... already have the brooder built and alll of the supplies (heat lamp, feeder, waterer, etc), and going to start on the coop this weekend... Well, I called Whittier feed in March... right around the 12th... and was told...

Be sure to update us when you find her! And post a pic of the little Houdini...

Was she possibly debeaked?

Yay! I am glad your chick is doing so much better! Very cool to see the before, during, and after pics...

Thanks for the responses! Yes! I totally forgot about raising the food and water. I have read that cedar is a no-no... others here have mentioned that you get less dust with the pellets over the shavings. I can't wait! I will post pics as soon as they come! Thanks again, Bridget

Ok, So I ordered my chicks through a feedstore near me (I'm in Los Angeles), and the chicks are coming from Fresno (Belt Hatchery) in mid-April. I ordered all day-old sexed pullets; 2 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Barred Rocks, 1 Delaware, and 1 Golden Laced Wyandotte. So that is my chick list, but what...

I was just thinking of using an aquarium thermometer... that's what I did when I had a snake. They are cheap, like under five dollars. I had one stuck to each side of the snake's aquarium, so that I could regulate the hot side and the cool side. The only issue is that some only go up to 80 or...

I am in the same boat... waiting! I ordered my chicks from a feedstore yesterday who gets them Belt Hatchery (Fresno, CA), thus avoiding a minimum order. I got 2 barred rocks, 2 buff orpingtons, and 1 delaware --all pullets (fingers crossed). Can't wait! -Bridget

Hi, Newbie here. I am looking to assemble a brooder for 6 chicks and was considering going with the plastic storage tub design as well. My only question is: how large would the tub need to be for just 6 chicks? They would only need to be in it until they are ready to go outside (4-5 weeks...
