I currently have 6, nearly 5 weeks old, chicks and I’m debating with myself wether or not to let them spend the night in the coop. The past couple days I’ve been bringing them outside for little “field trips” and they’ve been doing great. I’m starting to think they should spend the night soon...

I hadn’t really bothered to notice since I’ve had her, but I just recently had the thought, “If she’s supposed to be a blue Ameraucana.. why is she white?” And now I need an answer 😬!! I know she’s definitely an Ameraucana because she has the signature ‘cheek poofs’ but she doesn’t seem very...

I have a lavender Orpington chick which’s wings are growing very strange. I don’t even know how to explain it really so here’s a picture. All the other chicks wings look normal. Is this little pullet ok?

I have worked all month long to prepare for these chicks. The brooder is all set up, I’ve already bought food and have the heat lamp ready to go. The chicks are set to arrive TOMORROW!! Which although I’m super excited, makes me a little nervous! This is my first time doing this completely...

I’ve ordered 6 new chicks (technically one is a bantam), and I’m planning on using my extra bathtub as a brooder. I’m currently buying things and getting everything set up so I don’t have a picture of it but I’ve got a while til they will arrive (they hatch April 12th and will be here soon after...

Ok so, I’m back once again with a new idea. Previously I was thinking about converting a playhouse into a chicken coop, but after talking with several users about how much “editing” would have needed to be done, I’ve decided against that since it would probably be cheaper and more satisfactory...

So I’m new to this website, and I apologize if I’m not using the right thing to ask questions but I was wondering if this playhouse...
