    Is it okay to move 6.5-7 week old chicks to coop in current temperatures?

    I am new to raising/owning chickens and I have seven 6.5 week old chicks (3 Americanas, 2 Wyandottes, and 2 Starlight Green Eggers). I have had them inside my garage since I brought them home (they were approximately 1 week old). I allowed them heat up until about 1.5 weeks ago. The garage stays...

    Mixed batches & Broody Mamas

    I have two sets of chicks being raised by two different mamas currently in the same small coupe. Set number one is a first time mom with three, 3week old chicks. Set number two is a second time Mom (Betty) with seven, 1 week old chicks. Bette seemed to abandon the rest of her clutch of eggs once...

    Something is seriously wrong

    Hello, I am hatching eggs. They were shipped to me and I have a feeling something was wrong because the shipping was delayed and they shipped when it was colder. Not to mention if something says fragile it’s not always handled as such. I made a post a while ago, about how strange the air sacs...

    I think I created something very weird

    I have a hen that was, quite frankly, an accident. We had our lacy roundhead hens with the silkie rooster and as nature does it thing we got a lacy round head x Silkie. She is not the prettiest but she’s a good layer (somewhat). Then I bought 4 chicks from tractor supply and one of them was a...

    SL Wyandotte over Soeckled Sussex… Any guesses on colors? Who’s into color genetics?!

    Hi everyone! This is just for fun, but I’d love to hear what you think of these lil chicks and how they’ll turn out. Rooster is SL Wyandotte. Hen is Speckled Sussex and maybe a Saphire Gem? I know it was two hen’s eggs, but I can’t for the life of me figure out the second hen. Anywho, my...

    Sick baby chick

    So my mom brought me this americana pullet who’s around 3-4 months old. She brought her to me because she was sick, she was just on the floor laying there looking dead and I noticed when I picked her up, she had her legs tucked in behind her head which was weird, i’ve never seen that before. She...

    Where are the Polish Chickens?!

    Hello all, A bit of a rant but also a cry for help. I've been trying to locate Buff Polish Chickens/Chicks/Hatching Eggs and failing miserably. I've checked every hatchery I can find, searched through Craigslist AND eBay but not a soul has purebred Buff Polish chickens. They're all mutts, mixed...

    Broody or depressed?

    This is my first time doing this: introducing chicks to a broody mom. I need advice. I had 4 laying hens, all bantam size. 2 of those hens are silkies and they always stuck next to each other. Almost 5 days ago I had one of my silkie’s pass away due to what I assume was a heart attack when...

    What gender are these three chicks?

    I have three chicks, they are 2 months old and I hope i have atleast one girl. If I get any boys I could probably give one to my neighbor as he just culled his roo because he was too aggressive.

    Can bunnies live with chicks?

    I’d love to hear anyone’s experience about housing chicken and rabbits together. We just got 21 new chicks, my kids would love a couple of bunnies, can I raise them together, and if so, what is the best way to house the bunnies, in the coop with the chickens, or in the run? Do they need a...
