Hi y’all, I need to deal with a sudden tick invasion in my yard and want to use Spectracide Triazicide because I know it works. I found 3 ticks on my clothing yesterday just by walking in the short weed/grassy area in my yard where I’m building my coop & run. A few notes; my chicks are still...

I’m stumped on the gender of the Orpington chick on the left; Marilla. I’ve had friends and family who have had chickens disagree on if she’s a Roo or hen and she is my fave, so the suspense is killing me. When I compare her comb to the other girls I have, her comb seems a bit bigger and gently...

So, I think I have created little Diva Monsters 😬. My apx 3 weeks old (give or take a few days) chicks scream at me for wet food and I’m torn between giving in and also making them learn that screaming for wet food (when they have endless supplies of dry food) won’t work. It’s the SAME STUFF...

So I have a collection of Orpington chicks in the “2 week to a smidge younger” age range, (2 lavenders, 3 Mauves and a blue) and I’ve noticed on some of them the wing weathers seem to… lift/fluff in a non smooth way. This is my first ever flock and while I’m familiar with chickens in general...

This isn’t a little peeping like all her brooder mates, this an almost a “help me” peep, but she doesn’t need any kind of help. It’s a “louder than the rest, if a strobe light had a sound it would be this peeping” kind...

So I got my first ever babies last night! All of them Orpingtons and SOOO affectionate already (they are 2-4 days old). I checked on them multiple times last night and spent most of the day sitting over the brooder tub taking with them and taking turns holding them, or working around them in the...

Hi y’all! Im going to be getting chicks next week and am thinking ahead to when they live full time in the coop; but I’m curious if I HAVE to open and close the pop door every day for my chickens. I know it’s a technique to keep them safe at night, but the run will be as predator proof as I can...

Hi all! I’m going to be a new chicken mama next week🙌🏻, and while they will be in the brooder for 2 months, I’m half way thru building a coop and will start the run in a few weeks. My plan is to put down sand for the run, but I don’t see a lot of info on “best practices” for this method. My...
