Hi, I can tell you my experience. I bought 10 pullets. Different breeds. And one black jersery giant cockerel all day old chics. Well, they gave me 2 extra chics saying just incase…. Should have been my first clue right lol lol. Anyway, I ended up with 2 Amercauna Roosters plus my Jersery...
Well, I must have weird hens. They are missing the Roosters or at least Russell like crazy. The 2 Roosters went to their new home today. And I’m missing Russell like crazy. He was truly the sweetest boy. And ohno yep that was the other Roos name lol.(he was supposed to be a girl) and he was...
I’m not looking forward to tomorrow and those tasks. But, I will be happy to not worry about getting attacked. My BO hen is acting silly today!!! In and out of the nesting box all day. Same way that my Australorp was acting a few days ago!. We now have two eggs from her. I’m really hoping...

My 17 week old black Austrolorp is in and out of the nesting box about every 3-5 min. All day today. She hasn’t started laying yet. I’m thinking she’s about to lay??. But, these are my first chickens and I’m just checking if this is normal behavior or? lol lol. I’ve also got a cream leg bar as...
Quick question, I’m very new to chickens and we are having hot weather, heat index triple digits… I’ve just started letting my almost 5 month olds out to free range in a mostly shaded area. But, they just don’t seem to rest when they are out free ranging. Now, In their run, it’s fully shaded...

Perfect!!, I’ll do this with the grass. So, you just leave a small bowl of chic grit in with 3 day old and up chics and let them take what they need of the grit daily? Just making sure. As I’m honestly still not sure how much they are supposed to eat of the grit each day Lol lol. Ohmygosh, I...
I fed 3 day old chics a wide mouth mason jar lid, full of chic grit. Now, I’ve read so many different opinions on chic grit… I’m worried maybe they’ve ingested to much chic grit???. They are great little eaters and drinkers. Anyway, did I hurt them?. They all seem fine. Do I continue to keep...
Hi, I was told to start giving my 3 day old baby chics, chic grit. I had chicken grit. But, I saw there was chic grit. So? I went and bought a bag of that. I have 13 beautiful happy healthy chics!!. I gave them chic grit in a small container,the lid of a wide mouth mason jar. They all ate some...
Thank you so much, well I guess I just needed to post. Lol as I lifted the brooder plate brought them all back out and all of them drank some and ate a some. Some more than others. But, I feel much better. The two yellow chics do seem to possibly be a day older than the 2black chicks. Thanks...
