    When to introduce a dust bath?

    Hello everyone! We have 12 mixed chicks (all females) ranging from 5-6 weeks that we currently have inside while we build our coop. Their container has a layer of pine shaving bedding on the bottom and they seem to love to sit in it, scoot their butt around, and flap their wings. They've done...

    Feather from 5-week-old

    This might be a really stupid question, but here we go... We just brought our chicks out for their first night in the coop, and we checked this morning and it looks like things had been going great!... Except then I found a small feather of our 5 week GLW hidden in the shavings. The feather...

    How old do my chick look to you all?

    I was sold my Australorp chicks on March 10, with the sellers stating the chicks had been hatched on March 7. They are supposed to be 5 weeks old today, but they seem to look much larger than other pics I am seeing of 5-week old. Again, they are Australorps, and I am wondering if any of you...

    When to move? And why are some growing so much faster

    So I have 5 chicks that I picked up as tiny day old littles that turn 6 weeks old this week and I am so ready to have them out in the coop and out of my bathroom! Here’s my dilemma: 2 of these chicks are now huge (Easter Eggers) 12 oz size, 2 are average (RIR and Barred Rock) 9 oz size and then...

    What Do I Treat Them All With?

    One of our four Silkie chicks may be sick but I'm not sure what s/he may be sick with. I can't separate them so I need to give them all the same thing in case it spread to them. I brought Small Fry out to look her/him over as I noticed how s/he was acting. Small Fry is 4-5 weeks old while the...

    5 1/2 week old chicks moving out....

    My little babies are moving outside today! I am a nervous wreck!!! We have made the coop and run as secure as we can but I am terrified we have missed something. These are our first chicks and I am already incredibly attached to them. I don't have a question really, more like a need for...

    GAPEWORM TREATMENT? please help

    I woke up this morning and my 5 1/2 week old chick is showing signs of what I can only assume to be gapeworm. She is “gaping” stretching her neck out and shaking her head occasionally. No coughing, sneezing, wheezing or discharge. She’s drinking, acting relatively normal (jumping around and...

    5 week old chick temp

    I have 5, 5 week old chicks. They all have tons of feathers and are doing amazing. However they are getting too big for their brooder in the house. I was wondering will they be okay outside in their new coop? The lowest temp at night is going to be 66-62 this week and I was wondering, is that...

    Welsummer: 2 roos or 1 of each?

    I have two Welsummer chicks bought together from a feed store the day after they arrived. One was from a tank of sexed pullets, the other from a SR tank. We asked the clerk to try for a roo. They were all so young and looked exactly alike to my eyes. We hoped we came away with a pair, but would...

    New Hampshire Red sex

    All are almost 5 weeks old.. The one in question is perched between the two EEs and second from the end. Is this a roo? I need to find out before he crows. Comb color really popped in the last couple of days.I bought them sexed from a hatchery, but only 90% chance.

    My How They've Grown! Chicks with pics!

    They keep growing, and all are healthy. They have now experienced hard boiled egg and grapes. Loved them both. All seem to be getting a long so far. Brooder needs a second roost added now that the heat plate has been removed. For size comparison, here they are in the brooder at 2 weeks...
