First time raising chickens...starting with 5 Rhode Island Reds...saving egg cartons for those beautiful brown eggs! Thank you in advance for any help/suggestions!
Thank you FlowerGirl. I still haven't figured out how to navigate this site perfectly. Must I give them grit as soon as I give them (eggs) food other than baby feed? Even just an egg? I would like to know how old they are - about 4-5 inches long and starting to get a tiny tail feather. Any...
We got our first RIR chicks from a hardware store 5 days ago. How can I tell approximately how old they are? They are about 4-5 inches in length. I'm a newbie. Help?
