Thank you very much, Michael. I will look into the Australorps. The chickens we have now are very sweet (Buff Orpingtons, Barred Rocks, Easter Eggers, and especially Welsummers). My daughter is so upset about having to leave her friends, and I want to find replacements that hopefully will end up...

Rachel, did you go to the meeting? Have there been any developments with this situation? I live in an unincorporated area outside of Wilmington, Il and a friend of mine in town just told me it's not legal to have them in Wilmington, either! I couldn't believe this! It's a small, community with...

Hello Everyone, We currently live in Illinois with 8 wonderful hens. Our family will be moving all the way to Arizona, and unfortunately, won't be able to take our girls with us. Once we get to Arizona (Tucson area) we want to start up with a new flock as soon as we're able to. My question is...

I have a very similar situation. We live just south of Chicagoland and we have 9 chicks that turned 4 weeks today. They have been outside a few times, and just like yours, they love it. We are aiming for putting them outside next weekend as we still have a little work to do on the coop/run. My...

Thanks again to everyone! This board is SO helpful, and friendly.

Sorry, that question is for sasimpson77.

Where are you located?

Thanks everyone for the kind words and advice. I can't wait to the girls outside!!

Yep, she definitely needs to have a pal!

My 9 chicks turned 2 weeks old today. I would like to start taking them on "field trips" outside soon. They are in a brooder in my sun room with lots of pine shavings on the bottom. So far they are only eating chick crumble and one hard boiled egg yolk per day (amongst all of them). If they go...

Thank you very much, Suyoder. I appreciate you posting the pics and answering my question, even though it's not the answer I was hoping for.

So I have 9 baby chicks that are 12 days old. 2 Barred Rocks, 2 EE, 2 Welsummers, and 3 Buff Orpingtons. Of the 3 Orps, one has a ton of wing feathers and long tail feathers. The other 2 Orps have tiny little wing feathers and no tail feathers at all. (All the other breeds have lots of feathers...

Thanks, luvmypets. I will look for this tomorrow if she (hopefully!!!) makes it through the night.

I posted in the Raising Baby Chicks forum, but thought I'd post here too. One of my 10 three day old chicks has suddenly become sick. They were all doing perfect from the time I opened the shipping box, but suddenly this Barred Rock started staying still and not moving. She is standing rather...

Anyone? She is still staying in just one spot, and she in mostly standing, not sitting or laying down. I'm wondering if there's anything I can do before it's bedtime.

We have 10 three day old chicks. One of them (Barred Rock) suddenly today started standing in one place, not wanting to move, seems like she was breathing heavily, but now the breathing heavy seems to have stopped. She doesn't have pasty butt, but it seems like she may have a bit of a hard...

We got our babies yesterday! 3 Barred Rocks, 3 Buff Orps, 2 Welsummers and 2 Easter Eggers. All arrived healthy and happy and they were at my house within 24 hrs of hatching!! We ordered them from Meyer Hatchery. I didn't realize how much fun they would be to watch and how calming I find their...

After what seemed like a very long wait, our 10 baby chicks arrived today !! We are first time chicken owners and we couldn't be more in love with them! We got 3 Barred Rocks, 3 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Welsummers and 2 Easter Eggers. We ordered them from Meyer, and so far we couldn't be happier. They...

How many chicks do you think you could get in a crib?
