    New Set of Chicks!

    I mean right? Why are chickens so cute! I figure this is like the adult version of a blind bag and we won't know till they have feathers. I think the brownie is a production red though.

    New Set of Chicks!

    Y'all may remember we grabbed 4 back in March--2 Black Sexlinks and 2 Austrolorps and they are getting bigger these days almost ready to lay and all HENS. Anyway, my husband has a problem and decided we needed for new babies. He wanted polish crested chickens so he ordered two hens and then two...

    Best Stuff For Mucking the Coop

    We're probably sticking with this for a year, but planning something bigger and self-built. I don't mind moving it, in fact, that part seems easy. Maybe I'll start looking at the custom coops for what makes the quickest job of it. And yes, it was kinda stinky. I can only imagine if they were...

    Best Stuff For Mucking the Coop

    Hey Y'all, Spent today cleaning under the coop. Probably should have consulted for some tips and tools earlier. We have small coop. My husband wanted to do it with a handrake but that seems like small and tedious. We moved the coop over, raked, scooped and replaced. What should we buy to make...

    Chick Enrichment?

    We put sticks in their brooder and put them out in their coop during the day after their bodies feathered. We try to play with them each day and I have some honeysuckle, they seem to really love.

    These chicks are getting big!

    The little loner is my jam. I have not the experience to say what the chick is though other than cute.

    Maybe it's Cockrel or Pullet time? These chicks are pushing 6 weeks

    All right the Australorpes are younger than the black Sexlinks. It might be a full week, it might be just a few days. It's all kinda fuzzy. What do we have? Can you tell yet. The Sexlinks were supposed to be hens. The others were 50/50, but you know. It might be too early. It might be that they...

    Outside run access

    We only have 4 chicks, and about the same age. We are testing them out in the coop during our warm days for a little space and bring them back to the garage at night for some warmth. 30 seems awfully low. Can you use a thermometer to see what the temp is this evening? That's what I'd really...

    Comment by 'sirromyesdnil' in article 'Raising day old chicks for beginners in steps'

    So does their feed have gravel in it? This is a weird question, but there was this one time when I was a kid that my parents got us parakeets and the food, but they kept dying. It was because you had to have gravel and Petco didn't explain that or add it to the pile of stuff when we got them...

    Picked Up Some Chicks

    I'm jealous of all the ducks. We have a stream that runs on our property parallel to our fence and I tried to convince the hubs we wanted ducks. Our family has a vineyard in NW Arkansas, and we considered a flock there to eat the pests. The problem is no one is there all year to care fore them...

    Picked Up Some Chicks

    Hi Y'all, We're in Mississippi and after moving for the last 8 years all around, we are pretty much homeish and decided to get some chickens. We read up on it and had our coop ready before getting chicks. Hubs built our little brooder pin and installed the heater, but in general the learning...
