    Why r my chicks dyeing

    How old are your babies? The little pasty butts need to be washed so they can poop. I had one little guy I almost lost cause his butt was pasted over and he couldn't poop. He's now a year old. When I started with mine 3 years ago the county extension agent said you have to make sure they...

    Why r my chicks dyeing

    I'm not an expert; but, I kept mine at about 95 the first week, then lowered 5 degrees each week. Make sure they have a warm end and a cool end so they have somewhere to go to warm up/cool off; have good chick chuck and nice clean water that they can't drown in. Did you introduce them to their...

    how to tell difference between cockerels and pullets?

    I just posted this to another thread about sexing chickens - it's weird and funny all in one - but, it worked on all of mine (19 - 7 roos; 12 hens.) Hold your chick without holding his/her legs. If the legs dangle, it's a boy; if the legs draw up to the chicks body, it's a girl. When I...

    how do i sex full grown chickens

    This may sound silly; but, when I started with my chickens in the classroom (from county extension sevice) the lady that came in and worked with my class showed me that a roo's legs hang down and a hen's legs draw up close to her body. I thought that is a weird idea (just had to be a trick or...

    OMG - this is so cool!! I'm in my class watching babies cheer each other on while my class is resting. I think I will put it up on my 55" bigscreen in a few minutes so everyone can watch! I have had incubators from the Extension Service in my classroom for 3 years; but, I guess they didn't...

    Nipple waterers

    Can anyone help me with what breeds these are? **Pic Heavy**

    Quote: Puff MIGHT have some White Chantecler in him? I saw those pictures and thought that too. He and his hen - Blue - are completely white and have feathered feet. They have such a nice shape, just right for cuddling. He is one of my almost 3 year olds. - meow

    Can anyone help me with what breeds these are? **Pic Heavy**

    Thank you all so much - they are very mixed up in deed; but, they are my sweethearts. Some are my special needs chickens. Fiesty is blind in one eye thanks to a dog; Freckles has a lame leg, and one of my others not in these pictures could hardly poop when he hatched (hubby gave him a little...

    Can anyone help me with what breeds these are? **Pic Heavy**

    I've got chickens that range from almost 3 years old to 6 months old and I can't figure out what breeds they are. I keep looking at different breed guides; but, still can't figure them out. I think most are mutts but any assistance would be greatly appreciated. #1 Rooster (Fiesty) #2 Hen...

    I bet y'all will pass up my guess of 5,003 posts before I get up in the morning to check on all the pips, zips, chirps, and cute little fuzzy butts. I have a cell phone picture of a couple of my boys crowing up a storm. I usually crow at the boys to get them to start crowing - love those big...

    Help! My Rooster Lost His Eye!!

    My rooster Fiesty lost sight in his left eye when he was about six months old (he's 2 1/2 now) when a dog broke into our coop. We heard a lot of upset chickens and a dog barking and when my husband got to the backyard, the dog had carried Fiesty off to the middle of the yard shaking him so...
