    Naked Neck/Turken Thread

    I do still have most of the original bantams and have made another purchase since that time. I have a hen in this second group who goes broody and raises chicks every summer. She is solid black and is really beautiful. I'm still very happy with my Dunlap Turkens and would think they would make a...

    Please help, they're ripping off each other's beaks

    What size is your pen? Is there adequate ventilation and do they have food and water available at all times? Just like us, chickens who are overheated will get cranky, and yes, they can injure/kill each other. How old are they?

    Adding younger chickens to flick

    Can you tell us a bit more? How many in each group and what age are your younger chickens? Have they had any chance to get to know each other (through wire, being next to each other while caged, etc.) before they were added together? For your hurt chicken, if her wound is still bleeding, she...

    my pet chicken reviews

    Check 3 weeks out from the ship date when they set the eggs. I placed my order in December for a March 21 hatch and there were already many breeds that were unavailable. I went online the first of March and was able to call and add chicks that had been sold out when I ordered.

    Baby chicks scratching all the food out of their feeder

    Yes, chicks love to scratch in their feed and it does make a mess. They can/will eat it off of the paper towels. You might want to give them some dirt/sand to dig in. This probably won't stop them from scratching in their feed, but it is fun to watch and it may slow down the feed digging. I...

    New babies! Questions

    Congrats on your new chicks. If they were vaccinated, they would have been before they left the hatchery. You have received good advice for keeping your older hens safe-at some point you will need to consider how you will integrate these new girls into your current flock-if you plan to do so...

    Do you know my chicks breed?

    It is difficult to tell in that light. If they are yellow in color, they are most likely buff orpingtons. If they are white/cream colored, they could be leghorns, which will give you a lot of eggs! Post more pictures as they grow older. Enjoy them and welcome!

    1st flock of chicks

    Congratulations on your new chicks! It sounds like you have a good set up. You might want to add a small thermometer of some kind where you can easily monitor the temperature. I would let your children handle the chicks if they understand that they need to be very careful. They will definitely...

    Dealing with Respitory illness in my Flock

    Sorry about your situation. I would not put your chickens down until you have had confirmation that your animals are dealing with MG. Did you have a biopsy done on your dead chickens?

    OMG my chickens ATE Mice, HELP!!!!

    Yes, the joke around our place is that we better not fall down while inside of the coop because the chickens would be all over us. Rather than T-Rex, we refer to them as velociraptors.

    Yes, chicken eat mice and yes, you can eat the eggs. It is pretty shocking how carnivorous these birds can be at times.
