The family owned and operated company I work for makes several items.
We are a paper conversation company. We make Chick boxes for a hatchery and other cartons for several companies.
Would anyone know of another person/company that would be in need of such item? I have attached a picture, so you...
Hi all! It has been a while since I have posted anything on here and I think it is time to share an update on my feathered babies.
First off, one of my chicks from my last post turned out to be a rooster. Since I can't keep roosters where I am he is now living out on my aunt's farm with all her...

Hello! Recently I got some baby chickens about three weeks ago and just today I bought four more chickens. I was wondering if I can put the new chickens in the same place my other chickens are?? The chickens I got three weeks ago are already growing feathers so I wasn’t quite sure if I should...

i have recently hatched 3 baby chicks and they were all going amazing for the first 3 days. after those 3 days one of the chicks started eating and drinking less and was always sleeping. i would pick her up and she would just fall asleep straight away. i tried giving her sugar water...
This thread is for anyone who has chicks! I saw one about duckings so why not a chick thread? Here you can post pictures and/or stories of your babies and have lots of fun! Also, if your chicks are chickens now, thats fine. If you still have pictures of when they were young or remember stories...
I just saw a video on instagram of a rooster sheltering baby chicks like what hens would do?

Hello!
I have always loved animals and have always wanted the opportunity to raise chickens.
Here is my problem.
I have 3 dogs, one husky, one aussie and an alaskan malamute with a grey wolf mix. The wolf mix and husky have very very high prey drives and will kill any small animal on site-...
Hey guys,
I`ve been breeding chooks for ages and never had this problem before.
I feed the baby chicks, chick starter and give them everything they need.
Yet they seem to grow to a certain size, seem healthy, but then they stop growing. Like their growth is stunted.
On top of this I`m having...
So i have two barred rocks who are full size. Well, full size for them. They are bantam, so they small. One, the dominate one, is bigger, and meaner. I want to know if I introduced them when they were babies, would my old ones like them more? Would they, like, raise them? Or peck them? Im think...

Most people beg their parent for a cat or a new puppy, but for the longest time I asked for a chicken. Chickens make great pets weather raising them for eggs or for fun, you can never go wrong with chickens. What are the pros and cons of having chickens?
Cons
Some neighborhoods don't allow...
Hi There!
I recently adopted 2 baby chickens about 4 weeks ago. They were about a week old when I brought them home. They are definitely at the awkward teenage phase currently. When I adopted them from a hatchery they recommended that I feed them "baby chick feed" which has all the nutrients...
So this may be a strange question. I just bought 9 baby guinea fowls and 3 baby ducklings and have a big bag of game bird starter for them. I would like to raise chickens with them so that they all get along but wondered how I would do the food with them altogether. Can baby chickens eat the...
Looking for advice. I received 4 young hens (10 weeks old) from my neighbor. She had already mixed the young ones with her old ones. We're putting our 4 new ones in a separate run until they get a little bigger. A day later we noticed one of them had blood in her stool. We gave that one back...
