    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...

    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...

    Looking to rehome chicks

    Hatched on 5/6 from a fertilized egg I received from a local farm near Indiana Dunes. The chicks are barnyard mix, likely with Barred Rock in their lineage. All parent birds are organically fed and free-ranged daily. Healthy and active, currently indoors under proper heat and care...

    Chicks wanting to be tucked back into brooder each night

I have been taking my 7 and 8 week chicks out to their coop for the day so they can get excercise and get used to their coop and then bringing them in at night until we could finish predator proofing the...

    What kind of chick food do you use?

    Just wondering. Which one do you use for feeding your new baby chicks. Medicated or Non-Medicated and why? I personally use Medicated because I find my chickens grow much healthier and I rarely have a sick chicken. (Been raising chickens for 4 years now)

    Adding A Cord Notch To A Vevor 25L Incubator, HELP!

    My trusty ReptiPro 6000 died, and the ReptiPro company is no more, I guess. I ordered a new Vevor 25L incubator, which is basically the same thing. But. It's missing the VERY important cord notches that the ReptiPro had (see pictures below, the temp probes placed in the water weasels exit the...

    Duccle’s porcelain’s and Millie’s

    I know they are very young still approx 3 weeks old but I noticed 2 are noticeably larger than the other 3. Has anyone that raised these before noticed that the larger ones were roosters ? I’m hoping to have 2 roosters anyways so it won’t be a bad thing! The tail also looks bigger already .
