    Travelling with chicks under 6 weeks

    It was only a matter of time... this flock of 16 is growing- by 100! I'm definitely overthinking this lol- but would bringing 100 chicks (50 4-5 weeks, and 50 2-3 weeks) boxed up and packed into the bed of a pick up truck cause too much stress? The drive from the hatchery is only about 20-30...

    Meyer hatchery BBS Ameraucana without beard/muff?

    Hello! Long story short, can anyone confirm if it's possible for a Blue Ameraucana to be without a muff or beard? I was under the impression that they always have a muff and beard and that the Meyer ameraucanas are true ameraucanas; Meyer's website even lists them as having beards and muffs...

    Which Hatchery for Easter Eggers?

    I'm wanting to order some Easter Eggers for next year. I've ordered from MyPetChicken before and I absolutely loved her. I thought that I might try another hatchery and wanted some feedback on which one. I want some pretty EE. If they have Bantam EE it would be awesome too. If you could, please...

    Caution about small order chicks-8 of 10 dead chicks in the mail

    Everything was planned out perfectly. I needed new chicks but I wanted to try to let mama raise them, but didn't have a broody. So I ordered 12 wooden eggs, and placed one per day into the nestbox. At day 10, my dominant hen went broody!!! After 2-3 days, we were sure the broody was going to...

Anyways, I will be feeding the heritage meat birds...
