    Introduction

    Hi, sorry if this isn’t right, but I’m new to the sight, and want to introduce myself, then maybe post a couple of questions on another thread. Last spring, my husband and I surprised our 5 kids (who have never had pets but had been eyeing some chicks at a hardware store and begging) with 7...

    Ello!

    Ello there! I'm a chicken lover in Indiana with a small flock of 3 roosters and 2 hens. I know it's very off and shouldn't be this off-balanced, but it's because of a faulty sexing incident. I love them too much to get rid of a single one. It would have been worse with a 4th rooster, but the 4th...

    Hi from Tasmania, Australia!

    Hi people, I’m Kate. In no particular order: I’ve joined this community on the recommendation of a friend (Hi Mon!), and am looking forward to exploring the articles and discussions I last had chooks (chickens to non-Australians) 17 - no 18! - years ago, which were some lovely Plymouth Rocks...

    Introducing fall chicks to 10-year-old hen in December

    Hi all, Been lurking a while but could use some advice on this new trio we just started. My old girl, Dahlia, is a GL Wyandotte whose one-and-only 11-year-old flockmate died this weekend. I put up a Speckled Sussex, Welsummer, and barred Rock in a 20gal tank with a 125w IR bulb in my draft-free...

    Quarantine and Introductions

    I have a pair of young Silkies, they're about 4 months old. Today someone gave me a 2 year old bantam cochin hen because she's not laying as much anymore. I know it's a good idea to quarantine any new animal or bird, so I put the cochin in her own cage in a separate room from the Silkies. How...

    Hello from Oklahoma!

    Hello! My name is Becki and I'm from Central Oklahoma. My Husband and I brought home our first three chickens last night. We are so excited to start our little residential flock. We went to a local poultry auction (eye-opening and pretty dang sad experience) and came home with one Cinnamon...

    Introducing single chicken to flock?

    I recently lost one of my 4 chickens to drowning (she fell in the water bucket and couldn't get out, I have switched to a different watering system), and my city ordinance only allows for 4 chickens. I'd like to add another to my small flock, but I'm unsure if I were to get a pullet or young...

    Introduction of a cockerel

    Hi all, I acquired an 18 week old Cuckoo Maran cockerel yesterday. This is not my first go around with a new rooster in the flock. Now, I know MANY people frown upon this, but I introduced him almost immediately. I fully understand the risks of disease and other problems that come along with...

    New here and excited to be getting chickens!

    Hi everyone:) We had six hens that we got from Tractor supply as chicks in back 2013. My husband built a cute little coop, though a little too small for six hens. We loved having 'the girls', but we are empty nester grandparents who just downsized from living in the country to a smaller house at...

    Coturnix Quail in Colorado

    Hello! I have been raising quail for just a couple of months now, and decided to join up so I can get advice/information and discuss all things quail! I live in downtown Denver, Colorado and chose quail for their size, hardiness, quietness, temperament and laying ability. I've been having a ton...

    How to help single goose integrate into duck flock

    We just got our first goose, a 4 week old Pilgrim. She was hand-raised, and clearly loves humans. But we want her to flock with our three ducks, and not just stand at the gate crying. Does anyone have any ideas about how to help her mix with an established group of three ducks? When no humans...
