chicks

Hello! I have a few 10 1/2 week old chicks and I’d like to know what I’ve got. I have one serama, who I believe is a little lady. One bantam Cochin. My other girl Cochins got red very early on, so I’m hoping this is the case. And a mystery chicken ( any idea what it is?)

Bought a pair of chocolate silkies and they’re laying consistently, so I am incubating a round of eggs and am expecting hatch soon, but what reasonable price can the chicks sell for?

Hello to everyone who is reading this, I hope you are having a great day! For over a month now I have had a broody hen, a BCM named Copper. She has been really devoted to laying on her eggs, but my hens all fight over one nesting box even though they have 3 identical ones, so she lets them lay...

The only rooster we have is polish so all chicks will be at least part polish. we also have some easter egger hens so some will be EE/polish mixes. are the chicks with crests on their heads straight polish or could those be EE/polish mixes??

Hey guys! I am selling polish/easter egger chicks in my area and am not sure how much chicks usually go for. I already have people asking to buy and for prices. I was planning on selling them for $8 ea. but kinda thinking that might be too high? what do you guys think?

I have a large run/coop for my main flock, and a small side pen for acclimation period for new additions to the flock. I had a hen go broody so I put her alone in the side pen with eggs and she’s been sitting for about 5 days now. I have 3 chicks in my basement that need to go outside in a week...

I just treated all 10 of my chicks a few weeks back with Tiagard from some upper respiratory thing that was going around. They all got better quickly. But i just noticed my little 6 week old silkie roo sneezed 2x when i was holding him and some clear fluid sprayed on me from his nostril. Not a...

8ish week old chicks are finally coming out of the coop! Let me know if you spot any boys besides our Amberlink Clark! Tried to get atleast one of everyone but may have missed a few!

So we got chicks and have had them in the same area as the rest of our chickens since purchase except they’ve been in crates as a little brooder area so there not fully together and are protected for all intents and purposes but can still “socialize”. However, some of these chicks are getting...

I just noticed her running with a long fabric string and she swallowed it before I could catch her. Pics below of more I found. This was fringe on a blanket that my pig destroyed, I tried finding all the pieces But I’m sure there’s more to be found. Now I think the “worm” I saw them eating...

This is our mini pig, Rufus. He will be 11 soon and loves every living creature. We’ve been introducing the chicks to him through a fence or brooder since they were 3 days old. We are now doing supervised contact visits and all seems to be going well. They tend to chase his tail 😂

Hi! I just brought home 3 chicks today! They are approximately 2 weeks old. I’m sure I’ll have a lot of questions as I go along and figure all of this out but first question is on temperature! I live in Charlotte, NC and it’s already starting to get toasty here. My plan is to keep them in the...

Chicks are $3 each. Father of all is Buckeye, mothers are Black Copper Marans, Speckled Sussex, Silver Laced Wyandottes, and Buckeyes. All dual purpose. Chicks were born 04/10/24. If needed, will provide a small bag of chick feed for temporary feeding if you haven't yet bought a bag of chick...

Hey everyone! I have a Black Australorp rooster, Black Australorp hens, and Partridge Rock hens. I let a couple hens hatch some eggs, and to my utter surprise, three grey and yellow chicks hatched! They’re absolutely lovely, and I’m in LOVE with them. Does anyone know if they’ll keep the...

My 7 week old gals are quite the peckers! Sometimes it even hurts a bit. Right now I wear boots and jeans but I’m terrified when it’s warm enough to wear shorts 😩 What does everyone else do? Just armor up?

This is my first time ever hatching in an incubator. It’s day 21 and two eggs have pipped so far, but one of them has blood leaking from the crack. Not pouring out by any means, but enough that it’s easily noticeable from such a tiny crack. Should I intervene? Leave it alone and see what...

We have sandboxes and roost bars. This seems boring to me. Does anyone use parrot toys or any other fun things? They like to pick at my jewelry and buttons on my pants 😂 One even stole a nail I was holding (I got it back) so I’m thinking shiny things would be a hit. They don’t look at the mirror...

Just an update on the chicks…they’re almost 7 weeks now and have been in the coop full time for 4 days. I think they’re loving it. Though I still have to make sure they all go inside at night sometimes. A bit worried as tonight will be 33°, it’s been in the low forties lately 😬 Here’s a few...

Hi, We adopted these two yesterday from a rescue. They were abandoned. We're not sure if they're chickens or turkeys though. Thanks

My older chicks are starting to develope enough to where I can probably get some accurate readings on them, so I wanted to ask for help with sexing them. I'm pretty sure I have three cockerels, but, I wanted opinions, as I'm not familiar with any of these breeds or their growth stages They're...
