I'm so sorry you lost your little one!:hugs

Thanks, everyone, for your thoughts on this matter. I've definitely decided to NOT take the chickens. My flock is just as happy as can be! I don't want to rock the boat! :p

I've already asked myself all of your questions & pretty much feel like you do. I'm not sure I want the hassle! I love my chickens & enjoy them. I'd hate for them to become "hard" work! Thank you for your thoughts.

That was my thought exactly. Any recommendations on the best product to use? I have diatomaceous earth.

My next door neighbor has a flock of chickens that she has offered to give me to go with my flock. It's about 20 hens. I have that many. BUT! She says they have fleas?? I'm very leery of putting that flock in with my healthy ones. Is it safe? What can I do to insure they fleas aren't brought to...

Curious about this hatch!

Here are a few pictures of my new little poopers! As you can see after 3 hours in their new brooder.........it needs a new liner in it and fresh water.......the first of many! Since it's a surprise special of pullets............any guesses on breeds?

My chicks from Ideal arrived this morning! I ordered 25 and got 24; but, they are all healthy as can be. It is a surprise pullet special. So, not sure what breeds they are until I saw your pictures! I have 10 barred rocks just like yours! Are the tips of their wings empty of feathers? It'll be...

Quote: I live in Central Texas. About 90 miles north of Austin. I did feel better by hatching time(thank you). So far, I have 3 hatched and 6 more pips! Two of them are black(one with feathered legs and feet). And one of them is pale yellow. I can't wait to see who is born next! I'll post pics...

Such pretty babies!

They are so cute!!

I've got 1 pip and 15 more to go!! I am so excited!! update: Today the one that was pipped is now zipping. But, a newbie has hatched and is peeping away at the 1st egg that pipped! so cute!

Ranch! You have me so excited as my 21st day starts at 3pm tomorrow afternoon! This is my first hatch as well. It's a mixed bunch of my own eggs. The 2 roos are a black langshan and a buff rock. The hens are mostly buff rock, 1 langshan, and 3 black "somethings"......I bought them grown and...

Oh dear! I was afraid I had 3 roos! Maybe Ideal will give me credits for them? I probably will keep the buff roo since I have 3 pullets just like him. I have one that looks just like this buff; but, she has a lot of white on her wings and back. Can that be the same or do I need to post a pic of...

Hi everyone! I am a first time poster; but, I joined several months ago! I have enjoyed reading posts and getting to see how everyone else raises their chickens. I bought 15 chicks in May and I still am not sure what most of them are. I'm hoping someone here can tell me. I only have 11 of the...
