    Homemade chick starter

    It maybe be a while before you see results, as it's due in December, but I'll try to remember to send updates!

    Homemade chick starter

    Good point. I would extend my time frame but it entirely depends on how quickly my experiment gets approved.

    Homemade chick starter

    If I were able to I’d compare different recipes, but my teacher only wants us to have a control group plus the variable.

    Homemade chick starter

    Good point! I was mainly planning on getting them because they have the most availability, but I’ll research some more standardized breeds.

    Homemade chick starter

    Sorry, I meant per 10 pounds. I have a way to grind ingredients, so don’t worry about that lol.

    Homemade chick starter

    We’re planning on getting Ameraucanas from Murray McMurray, probably like 8 in each experiment (16 total.) We usually buy DuMor 24% Chick starter, which is around $9 per pound, so our budget would probably be around there (maybe a bit more) since I’d compare it with that.

    Homemade chick starter

    Hi everyone! I’m a senior in high school and part of vet science. For our class we have to do an agriscience project for FFA, and I’m planning on raising chicks. My plan is to have two groups: one raised on store bought starter and the other raised on homemade starter. So…. Does anyone have any...

    2 month old Danish Brown Leghorn cockerel-near San Jose, CA

    Hey, all! I need to rehome a sweet little Danish Brown Leghorn cockerel. He's just over 2 months old and is fairly sweet. He will run away from you, but tolerates being held. I'm sure with some love (and treats) he'll warm up to you just fine. He's not aggressive to humans at all and has just...

    Rooster?

    I’d rather not risk it. We rent, and we don’t want the house owners to get mad. The other chickens also seem very uneasy around him.

    Rooster?

    Wish I could. We can’t have roosters on our property.

    Rooster?

    Hi! I have a danish brown leghorn who is two months old. It’s supposed to be a pullet, but I have my doubts. I know brown leghorns have large combs in both sexes, but this one is looking more and more rooster like. Sometimes it’ll make a weak crowing noise (kind of a bawk-BAWK but none of the...

    Lone silkie with larger breeds. Advice?

    They have all seemed to mellow out a bit. I keep the silkie in a smaller “coop” at night. All of the bullying seems to have died down. I’m pretty sure they probably were all just stressed after the other silkie died. Thanks for all of the wise words!

    Lone silkie with larger breeds. Advice?

    Hello! I had two young silkies with two Golden Comet hens and they were getting along fine. Unexpectedly, one of the silkies unexpectedly passed away the other day. I’m beginning to worry that the remaining silkie is getting bullied and will be sad. Should I just wait and see how this plays out...

    Swollen eye(s?)-Any ideas?

    Hi! None of the feed stores carried antibiotics and the vet in my town only had antibiotics for cats and dogs. I got this medicine called VetRX off of the internet and it seems to be working. Muffin feels so much better. Thanks for all the advice, y’all!!

    Swollen eye(s?)-Any ideas?

    Update I kept Muffin (the hen) inside last night because when I went to lock them up she was hanging by the coop door instead of perching, which is unusual for her. Her lungs sound way more congested, but she's still active and able to interact with me. Her eye has started to foam a bit at the...
