    Feed Store Bantam Bin ID Needed

    2 days ago we had an Old English Bantam Hen hatch out 4-5 chicks and she is very protective of them. This is the first chicks born on our farm. We have had ducks and geese for a decades. I scooped her and her chicks and put them in a rabbit hutch thinking it would be more protection and easy...

    Chicks, Ducklings, and Niacin in Feed

    Hello all! I've got twelve chicks and four Pekin ducklings growing up together, they're, oh, I guess going on a month old now. I had them originally on Dumor 20% chick starter, moved them over to 20%Purina FlockRaiser when I got the ducklings. Both said they were good for ducklings, so I...

    Raising baby chicks!

    I ordered chicks through Cackle Hatchery using the City/Town Female Special (x2) for 6 chicks. The breeds I ordered that I ordered were 2 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Easter Eggers, 1 Barred Rock, and 1 Black Australorp. I ended up with 2 extra chicks (not complaining at all 😅). Does anyone have an idea...

    Got some new Jubilee babies!!!

    About four weeks ago we got the cutest little jubilee Orpington chicks from a local breeder. This is the first time we’ve gotten day old chicks in two years! Hubs isn’t a fan of having a brooder inside so we’ve stuck to getting grow outs every other time. I’m so excited to watch these babies...

    Mystery breed from Murdochs

    Just labeled as “rare” mystery breed, asked the employees and they don’t have an idea either. Thanks! :) They’re mainly brown on top and white on their bellies and some wing feathers are white too with some stripes.

    Lethargic Chick!

    I just got my chicks yesterday I think they were all okay but I noticed today one of them is kinda puffed up laying its head down on the bedding and it’s not moving. Its crop feels flat so I think it didn’t eat. I need help what should I do?! Also it’s 1 week old I think that’s what the guy I...

    Can hens with mycoplasma hatch and raise chicks that will survive?

    Sadly my flock got mycoplasma somehow back when they were around 8 weeks old and I've been treating it when there's a flare from heat stress but overall they seem completely fine. I know people would just cull and start over but I love my flock so much and im happy to put in the extra effort to...

    Friendly chicken - Speckled Sussexes, Rocks, or Australorps??

    Hi everyone! Future chicken mum of 4 over here. I’m really looking forward to getting into chickenkeeping in a month or so, and I’ve been feeling really conflicted on which breeds to get. I’ve decided on 2 silkies, but I’m not sure about the last 2 breeds. I’m not sure what to have as my last...

    2026 Chick Thread!

    A bit early? Sure, but I can't be the only one thinking about getting chicks next year. Post about your plans here! 1. What breeds are you getting? 2. How many? 3. Are you hatching, getting day olds or started pullets? 4. Are you going to raise them yourself or let a broody do it for you...

    Anyone know more of the Genetics behind these Buff Silkie chicks?

    I have a pair of breeder birds I'm using to help start my own exhibition flock of Buff Silkies, and Ive gotten some odd looking chicks off of them. I completely understand that Buff is more of an ongoing project variety, and doesn't always give consistent results, but if anyone can explain the...

    Pekin mix chicks (poss light Sussex or buff Orpington mum) what sex are we thinking?

    Hi all, Just wanted to make a wee post about my two surprise chicks that one of my hens hatched a month ago - the larger (brown) one is 5 weeks old and the blonde one is about 4.5 weeks old. I know it’s probably too early to tell but I thought it was worth putting these guys out there!
