I got 4 chicks a month ago at farmandfleet. I got a light brahma, a barred rock, a black austrolorp, and a mystery chick. The mystery chick was also supposed to be a black austrolorp. However, I don't think it actually is. My best guess is an ancona? Any input is helpful! Here is a picture:
The goslings are about the same age, she would be bothered if I put the chicks under her, and I'm concerned that the mother goose would kill the chicks.
I have three geese, 2 females, 1 male. Both of the females are laying in one nest that currently has a total of 7 eggs in it. They chose to nest at the edge of their pasture fence and I only noticed today. They aren't always on the nest, and last year they tried, but didn't hatch any eggs. Can I...
I'm wanting to get chicks however, I will be raising them outside. Temps get down to -20 here so I'm not really sure what to use. Last year I used heat bulbs but after several days of use they shattered. So I don't want to use those again.
Hi,
I am looking at getting some muscovy ducks, my first question is, will it be fine if I get a flock of 10? (3 males 7 females). Second question is how much space do I need for 10 ducks? I would free range them year round and my current coop is 4x8 will that be fine?
Thanks!
I have a small coop (2x4 with a small run) with 2 bantam hens currently in it. I am getting a bantam rooster later today. How should I integrate him with the other two? Thanks!
I would like to start with keets, when they are adults I would like to free range them completely. No coop, no feeding, etc. I have every type of predator around. Is this possible to free range them?
My bantam hen went broody about 3 weeks ago. I candled her eggs and none of them are fertile. I was wondering could I get some week old chicks and put them under her and take away the eggs? Would she take care of the chicks?
So to make a long story short,
2 chicks
6 weeks old
outside
0 degrees f.
The heat lamps keep exploding
4 heat lamps in 3 weeks
What do I do?!
I want to buy either The Prima Heat Lamp or a heating plate. Which one should I get?
I am getting another CHEAP heat lamp while the item ships...
I have three rooster they are welsummer, buff laced polish, and silver laced polish what would the chicks look like if I crossed with a brown leghorn hen?
