So I have a little mottled cochin bantam roo - he's 4 weeks old & I've noticed that as his feathers come in they are all over the place! They don't lay down next to his body like my other birds do. I'd heard of frizzles but don't know much about them & in googling it he sorta looks like some of...

We have 1 little mottlled cochin bantam - s/he is almost 4 weeks old. It's taking forever for her feathers to come in & the comb is huge compared to any of my other birds including standards! I'm starting to wonder if this little one is a rooster. What do you guys think? And two cute ones...

Our girls are 6 weeks old & in their coop, we have a tractor for them. At night we put them up in the top part & close the little ladder to keep them in there. We also still have the brooder light on at night for them, and we put their food & water up in the enclosed part as well. What I'm...

I suppose I'm not having "issues" persay but how things are set up at the moment just aren't working for us. Right now we have their waterer & feeder on the ground but I am finding that we are having to change their water more than once a day due to poop & mess being in the water & their food...

I'm just curious how often you guys are giving your chicks treats. We have 5 standards that are 3 almost 4 weeks old - I've just barley started giving them treats but am not sure how often I should be doing it.

What I'm curious about is for those who have older chickens & then buy new chicks or even adopt/rescue an older chicken. Are you guys introducing them to your current flock & if so how - or are they kept alone?

I have 5 standard sized chicks who turned 2 weeks old this past Monday. Today I was given a gold laced wynadotte who is roughly 5 days old. Probably not the wisest choice but the chick was given to my neighbor by her daughter & she didn't want it & knew I had chicks - but now I'm wondering how...

I'm hoping I can get some advice from those who are more experienced. I've done a few google searches & searches here looking to see if others raised their bantams with their regular chicks and what I've read from those who did it seemed to go fine for them, so we went ahead & bought a little...

I just got in about 40 minutes ago (been gone for the day) and as usual I checked in on the baby chicks. My little welsummer was acting strange & looked off so I picked her up & she was soaking wet & shaking! And chirping non stop, so I immediatley cupped her in my hands & got a blow dryer out &...

Hello all you lovelies! Our little babies are 2 weeks old now & SO much fun! I'm wondering though - how in the world do you all keep their water clean? They are in a 45 gal plastic tub at the moment with cedar shavings & I'm cleaning out the waterer probably 4 or 5 times a day b/c they soak the...

We brought home our babies today - we have some fun mixes. I'll share pictures once my camera is done charging. They are all roughly a week old. What I'm wondering is we have them in a big 45 gal plastic tub for now, with a 125 watt bulb. The thermometer that I have has stayed steady at 80...

We have a very large chest of drawers box that we'll be using for our 6 chicks. Will this be sufficent for them until they are ready to go outside to the coop, or will I need to get something bigger once their a few weeks old?

Hi you guys! We will be brining home our first chicks today & as we've done our research & looked at different places that sell them, my oldest son (he is 12 & a huge animal lover) & husband have their hearts set on a duck, my problem is I don't know a whole lot about ducks or raising ducklings...

I'm SO excited! I've wanted chickens for a good 2 years now but always felt a bit intimidated by it & my husband thought I was kinda crazy lol Well now he's eating his words - after dragging him to the store tonight he's almost more excited than I am *insert sneacky laugh here* ha ha Soo I've...
