I'm in Austin, TX and have a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte that was born August 7th from eggs I hatched from a private breeder in Kentucky. (No hatchery stock here!) He's now 13 weeks old, and practicing his crowing. I really don't want to have to re-home him, but I'm in a very suburban area and...

Please do NOT click BuyItNow! PM Me! This blue Ameraucana was hatched on August 7th, and is now about 10 weeks old. He hasn't displayed any aggressive or flighty behavior, and isn't crowing yet, either. I have him in a pen with 11 other birds, a few of which are male and around his age, and...

I'm leaning toward male with these two guys, but would like some opinions. They're 9.5 weeks old. The first is a blue ameraucana, the 2nd is a blue laced red wyandotte bantam. With the ameraucana, "he" is the only one who's comb is turning reddinsh, but he is NOT the biggest of the 3 that I...

DO NOT CLICK BUYITNOW! PM ME! I'm in Austin, TX. I hatched this 9.5week old Easter Egger roo myself from hatching eggs ordered from My Pet Chicken. He hatched on August 7th, and has been my favorite since day 1. He is very calm, sweet, and inquisitive, and was the only chick who actively...

How does salmonella get into eggs anyway? Are organic or local eggs safer? This Week in Review piece, prompted by last month's salmonella outbreak that resulted in the recall of over half a billion eggs, explains. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/26/weekinreview/26eggs.html

I have a 10 day old chick that has been on eyedrops from the vet for an eye infection for a week. I've had to keep him seperate from the others during this time, and I do that by putting a wall of plastic poultry netting at one end, so they can all still see and hear each other. I had him in a...

Well, never thought I'd have any reason to post in this section - at least not so soon into my chicken adventure. Woke up this morning, checked on my little few-day-olds, and one of them has a huge swollen eye! It's closed shut, the whole area bulging out of its little head like a marble! I...

I have two, 4 week old Mille Fleur D'Uccle roos to rehome. Please PM me if you're interested. I live in central Texas, and will not be shipping them due to heat. They've eaten organic, soy-free feed since day one. Pictures are available if you're interested. Thanks for checking out my listing!

There's still some breeds I want to try to add, and I can't decided if I should order hatching eggs from private breeders, or wait until spring and see if I can finagle some chicks. I've already ordered eggs that I don't think I'll see anything from, so I'm leery of doing that again. On the...

OK, I'm using all my self control not to start purchasing chicks and eggs of the breeds I *need* to finish my flock. Did anyone else get this antsy once they decided to get chickens? I made my list and I know just what I want. Two of them I definitely have, because I bought them as pullets...

I'm very excited! This is something that has to be kept on the down-low for right now, for obvious reasons, but I'm dying to share it with any and all who'll listen: My husband and I have decided to conceive our first child in January/February 2011!

I just received a shipment of eggs from mypetchicken, all breeds I choose specifically for their egg color, and I'm not happy with the color of the eggs. Some of the eggs are irregularly shaped, and some are small. Is it possible these eggs will hatch out chicks that have stronger colors in...

When I placed my order for hatching eggs on mypetchicken 6/14, they told me the eggs would ship July12th. It's July 12th, and no communication on when the eggs will ship and arrive. Anyone else who has dealt with this company: do they commonly send an email when they ship your things? I'm...

My eight chicks are now 4 - 5 days old, and my husband is today building them a little tractor so they can begin having supervised outings in our backyard. We also plan on using this for the chicks we'll be hatching in early August for their initial outings, to help safely acquaint them with...

They were with me just over 48hrs before their first brooder cleaning, which happened last night around 9pm. As of today, 5:30pm, they've already exceeded the amount of poo they produced their first two days! The brooder is all gross! Will the amount just keep increasing as time goes on? How...

I have 3 of each type, they're going on two days old, and I was wondering at what age I can expect to be able to sex them?
