Nice! Also, feel free to post pictures ;)

http://www.ricochetridge.com I also forgot they do copper marans, too, so that's another option. Good luck!

Oh no! Sorry to hear it :( If you want to start over, what breeds were you thinking? I'm not sure if Cluck still has chicks, but if you want ameraucanas I can recommend the place in MA where we got our chicks from.

Hi, ! Sorry, I don't know. Good luck finding them!

Maybe 6-7 weeks old? That's when they are usually mostly fully feathered. 5-6 weeks is when most go outside.

You will have to be the judge of when they are the same size, because it will be different for every bird. The chicks will have to be big enough to stand up for themselves a little, because they will get picked on while the pecking order is re-established. As long as they are pretty close in...

You really could do it either way, but integrating chicks can be a little stressful. They will get picked on a little, and if you were going to do it, you would need to wait until the chicks were about the same size as the adults. There are different methods for integrating them, and you would...

Oh, I'm really sorry about your hen. Unfortunately, it could have been from a lot of things. Maybe you should post on the medical forum of this site to try to narrow it down. :( Until you find out what was wrong, you probably shouldn't put your chicks outside, until you know that whatever the...

Hi! The chicks can go outside in relatively warm temps around 6 weeks old, or when they are fully feathered. Fully feathered means that all of the chick fluff has been replaced by feathers, so there is little to no chick fluff left. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask! Have fun...

Also, I thought I would post a picture of this odd first egg laid last night from the perch: I'm not concerned about it, but it sure is strange-looking!

I used a dog crate after my chicks got too big for the plastic tub that we were using. If it's warm outside, I also used to bring one or two chicks outside to let them explore before they were fully feathered. XD They loved it!

Roosters are not allowed here, so that rules that out. I received some other suggestions in another thread about it being a small partial molt, which I am leaning towards, seeing as it happened a little bit to one of my other girls in the fall. She isn't going broody, because the feathers on her...

I'm wondering if any of your chickens have had their feathers falling out when they are not molting. One of my BR's feathers are falling out, mostly the small fluffy ones around the top of her legs and around her vent. Now there is a bald spot on her neck where the feathers are gone, but the...

Welcome!

I'm no expert, but as a start, I would recommend keeping them in a place where your original flock can see them, but not get to them. Good luck!

Later turned out to be two small eggs... Within five minutes of each other!

I just watched one of our BRs lay an egg! Her first one!

Tiger is almost 5 months old, a blue ameraucana from a reputable breeder. I have had him and his sisters from 2 days old. He isn't aggressive. He is a little cautious of humans, but if you don't try to pick him up, he is friendly. I would like to find a home for him where he will be happy.

This is a picture of him from a little while ago, but I will update this as soon as I let them out.

I think they are supposed to start around 6 months... we are expecting eggs starting late this month!!! A side note... anyone want a blue ameraucana roo? (Free) So sad that we're not allowed to keep him, but I can't start trying to place him when he starts crowing, because we don't want any...
