I'm planning on adding to my flock and was wondering if I can trust Meyer Hatchery? Any negative experiences? I'm planning on purchasing pullets.

Alright cool thanks

I need to introduce 3- 15 week old Asian Blacks that I need to introduce them to my flock of 7-24 week olds(2 barred Plymouth’s, 2 orpingtons, one Rhode Island Red, and 2 EEs) would their age gap cause fights?

Ok so to answer your questions. I currently have 7 hens, I’m trying to introduce 2-3. My hens are 22 weeks, the new hens are 20 weeks. My run is 14ft by 20ft. My coop is elevated so they could hid under there along with little tunnels and caves and such placed around the run.

I'm getting new chickens soon and want to add them to my new flock except I don't have a separate pen to put them until their all nice and cozy. All I have is a cage with plenty of room for both hens, food, and water. I can't keep them in that cage until they get all buddy-buddy, I need a...

So picture me, my first flock, I go out at around 5:30pm, suns already down. I’m out to close up the door to my chicken coop, I’m counting up my flock and I notice one Is missing. I look around trying to see if she some how got out and bam! A cluster trail of feathers with drops of blood along...

Are my other two also pullets?

So it’s my first time with Easter eggers and I currently have 4. I already know that 2 are females because their tail feathers look hen-ish. But 2 of them are a bit weird, please help. I don’t know if they’re both just weird looking. They’re about 19 weeks.

I bought my chickens from mypetchicken.com most reviews seemed ok. And I’ve had them since they were like 2 days old. I’m feeding them 15% grower/finisher (Dumor). I also feed my cracked corn and sunflower with raisins occasionally as a treat. Their roam room is 14ft by 14 ft and they sometimes...

So I recently purchased my first batch of chickens, I got 10 in total ranging from Rhode Island reds, Easter eggers, and barred Plymouth rocks, along with two buff orpingtons. Now I read up that those breeds are cold hardy and I live in New Hampshire where cold means cold and this will be their...

Never mind I can’t find the video but I’ll get one hold on

I’m not home right now but I have a crappy video of my brother holding her.

I recently bought 10 baby chicks and they’re about 3-ish weeks, all females. And one of them seems to be a little naked and I’m seeing some of the chicks pecking at her and I’m worried. I have 2 barred Plymouth rocks, 4 Easter eggers, 2 Rhode Island reds, and 2 buff Orpington. The one I’m...

I have a batch of day old chicks and I use a red light to keep them warm and toasty, a friend of mine said that i have to add a roof like part to the cage to provide shade for them to sleep because the light won't let them. She also said i should remove the food at night so they don't eat...

I currently own 10 chickens and they are in dire need of a new coop, I found a really nice one but it says that it’s suitable for 8 chickens. Would it be possible for them to fit in there comfortably? Or would it be inhuman or would it be possible?

I don't know if this is a dumb question but is it bad to raise chicks indoors? The only reason I ask is to know if they'll make my house stink up and what about the dust they release when they shed their feathers? I was just wondering if it is or isn't a good idea. Also are there any other ways...

So I recently started raising my own chickens and I originally got them from a neighbor. I want to introduce some more into my flock and decided to order online and I stumbled across My Pet Chicken.com. I was planning on buying 10, day-old chicks from them but wish to know if I should or not...
