    Does this mean they’re comfortable with me?

    My chickens are still around the age they need a heat lamp, about to grow out of it, so they stay inside but I take them outside during the day to get them used to it. When I do they always stick near me and I even once got used as a mama chicken when something spooked the pair and they tried to...

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? My mom got chickens 16 years ago after immigrating our family to Australia. They were silkie chickens. I got my first chickens myself in my early 20s but suffered a terrible miscarriage that almost killed me so I gave them to my mom...

    Post office, morning or noon?

    I usually get chicks at very early morning when I go to the post office after letting them know a week and a day before my chicks are shipping into the local post office for 8 years. However, yesterday, I let my post office know that my chicks might arrive on June 3-4th after hatching on the...

    Is it too early to know gender?

    After losing my previous flock to a hawk around three years ago I finally was able to get new chicks and a new coop. They’re supposed to be a Dominque and a Rhode Island Red and I hope they’re both girls or that only one is a boy as I only need one rooster I got them around a week or so ago at...

    Coccidiosis??

    So I have some baby chicks who all of a sudden started getting weak and dying within days. It started with my kikiriki chick who had messy feathers, stood under the heat lamp with its head down a lot of the time and now my two silkie chicks are doing it too along with a silkie mix. They all seem...

    What am I doing wrong???

    Okay, so I’ve been raising chicks for almost three years now. My survival rate for my chicks has always been high; I rarely lost a chick in the past 3 years, and I’ve raised so many. I just always put extra time and care into my chicks. But I don’t know where everything went wrong this time...

    Temporary run/coop queation

    My mother hen has abandoned her chick at only a little over two weeks old. What can I do?

    Up until the last few days my hen has been acting a little more aloof with her chick as it’s growing more independent, but today she set the mark by leaving the nursery coop and roosting with all the adult chickens, (which the chick cannot get to because it is up a ladder) and left it by itself...
