    How long can my chicks and ducklings go without water?

    This Friday I have to go away for around 15ish hours, I have six chicks of varying breeds (mostly normal sized but a few bantams) and 5 Muscovy ducklings. They'll all be around 4 weeks by that time and they drink their water very fast. They're also all in the same brooder. Will they be okay...

    4week old chicks in coop overnight

    This is my first flock and was wondering if I can put my 4 chicks outside overnight at 4weeks? We’re in Southern California and it’s been 90 during the day, and about 65 at night. The brooder is currently in the garage, where it gets unbelievably hot, and I move them to the coop outside each day...

    At what age can chicks live outdoors without heater??

    I have silkies 4 and 3 weeks old. The temperatures are around 8° to 15°+ degrees Celsius right now. And around 6°C on colder nights. I have a broody with a 1 week old and they seem to be doing well, but the chick has a mom. I also brought two 4 week old silkie chicks outside today to get some...

    Aggressive chick, could it be a cockerel?

    I have three almost four week old chicks, all different breeds. I know silkies and polish are notoriously hard to sex, but my polish seems very aggressive. Anytime they are out in the yard it jumps up and flies toward the other two. Then starts chest bumping. It also always gives me what I call...

    Dust Bath- Disappeared?

    Gave my chicks (3.5 weeks old) their first dust bath in a smaller shallow container. After about 15 hours the soil/DE/herbs are completely gone!! I know the dirt can come out while their cleaning and probably because of how shallow it is but I don’t even see any dirt on the bedding of their...

    Who wants to share their chicks awkward teen phase?

    I think the little awkward teen phase is actually pretty cute and exciting. Is it a boy or girl? Is it the breed you thought it was? Who knows, but they are pretty cute and silly. If you want, please share your awkward teen phase chicks pictures and maybe take a guess at what they are. No...

    Jasmine or Jerry?? What is the sex if this chick?

    Hello!! This is my 4+ week old Golden Laced Wyandotte. I’m starting to think Jasmine will need to be renamed to Jerry! She has a much larger comb than the other chicks and grew much slower. What do you guys think?

    Acclimating chicks to outdoors in south Texas

    Our baby chicks are 4 weeks old today. We went ahead and staged their coop so we could begin bringing them outdoors for a little while each day to get them used to being outside. When we brought them out today from the brooder (high 90’s) they immediately began to show signs of heat distress...

    So my babies are getting big...I think almost 4 weeks sometime next week. Was told they're most likely EEs. Also have 2 BOs. One seems 3 of the EEs has yellow legs, one has a green-ish tinted to them. My understanding is there isn't really a "standard" for EEs in regards to colors, combs, face...

    Moving chicks to coop

    i have 4 week old chicks that are too big for the brooder. I live in south Texas so it’s 50-60 here at night at the coldest and 70-80 during the day. I’ve been putting them outside during the day they love it. We don’t have a garage. We have a coop ready to go out back. I read it’s a bad idea...

    I bought 2 chicks from my local produce store, the sighn said mixed chicks and ducklings. The shop assistant couldn’t identify the breeds or sexes. I’ve identified that the black chick is a Maran based off of her markings. I’m still unsure on what the yellow chick is. Also if anyone could take a...
