    Ground cover??

    It's very dry and dusty here during the summer. I've spread some pine shavings around the pen to help keep dust down and it seems to work well. Would it be ok to also use some tree/brush mulch? I've got a ton from a treeline a friend cleared.

    New to chickens not framing 😁

    They got to venture out today. Took most of the day before they all finally went out. They seem to really like being out at dusk. Special thanks to the beavers for cutting down some trees for my natural roosting area.

    Crooked toe

    I was cleaning the coop/brooder and noticed one of my roos has a crooked toe. Doesn't seem to effect him. I'm guessing it got broke at some time. Is there anything I should do or worry about?

    5 weeks old

    I got 4 black chicks. 2 are black with white spots (definitely roos) and two almost solid black that I'm guessing are pullets because they are about the same age as the roos

    Feed changover

    Chicks are 5-6 weeks old and are almost done with their chick feed. Are they old enough for feed, grit, oyster shell? As for grit, what is necessary? I have a good sandbank on the property, and their pen is mostly dirt/sand is this ok or do I need to buy something? Thank you! Love this forum.

    These 2 are the only ones I'm not sure of. I'm guessing pullets. They are mostly black.

    My chicks are 4.5-5 weeks old. The black ones were mix sex, can you tell if male or female at this stage? What breed are they? Orange ones are all female, what breed are they?

    Instead of Pine Flakes...?????

    Give them more space and raise the feed and water off the ground.

    Chicks eat dead wasp

    I killed a wasp in the coop and the chicks got ahold of it. They are 2.5-3 weeks old. Will it hurt them? I've seen them go after a couple flies too. Are they old enough for this?

    Chicks get more space!

    I've got 2.5-3 week chicks and have had them in a 32"x6' brood and they have loved it. They're getting big fast so now I've given them an additional 8'x4' + area. They seem to love it, now they can sleep in the sun if they wish. Second picture is after they wore themselves out. Lol

    Is this normal? Dusting?

    Sorry, video didn't upload, one of my older chicks was wallering around in the fine pine bedding. I had just cleaned the brooder and the pine was very fluffy. It was pretty cute till I noticed the panting. Brooder is about 90° under the heat lamp, 80° under the regular light and 65°-70° around...

    Is this normal? Dusting?

    I've had my chicks for 12 days, they've been doing great. Just noticed this chick doing this this morning. It's also panting really hard while doing this. Normal or should I be worried?
