I live in Frisco, Tx, and I’m looking for any info on buying just 2 new pullets. We already have 4 healthy, beautiful, 2 year old hens of various breeds, but most sellers have a 3-4 minimum. We can have up to 8, but that’s just too many for us right now. Any advice?! Thanks! BAKAW!
I have 15 chickens, all 14 weeks old.
It started with one of my Jersey Giant girls. She has been having some strange behavior. Standing still, letting the other chicks knock her over, barely startled by anything, and had a “droopy” look to her. She would also close her eyes. I physically...
I have three pullets, a silver laced wyandotte (slw), a golden laced wyandotte (glw), and a black sex link (bsl). All three of these girls just started laying in the last week. They were hatched in February and were purchased from the store together and raised in the same brooder together since...
OK tonight I have just introduced my 10 week old pullets to the flock with them all eating flock raiser crumble feed and right now through the 27th. My adult flock still have to finish their apple cider vinegar in their drinker that I give to them once a month from the 21st to the 27th every...
I’m getting 14 pullets in two weeks and am wondering what to feed them. They’ll range in age from 8-12 weeks old. I’ve heard to keep feeding chick feed (not layer), but what kind and for how long? Thanks
Wasn’t exactly sure where to put this but I’ve seen this on another one of my buff orpington pullets but on that one’s tail feathers. The one pictured is on the wing.
I think it’s what people refer to as smut but wanted another opinion(s)
This is Salt (Araucana X) and her adopted chick Vanilla Bean (light Sussex). She’s been a great mother. They currently sleep in a smaller coop with mini built in run in the covered larger run. Vanilla bean is now 4 weeks old and I’ve been letting them out for the day and putting them back into...
Today, when I was outside with my pullets, sitting in a camp chair, enjoying the flowers and sunshine, I saw my girls do the cutest thing. My black barn cat, Ella, walked over to me for some pets, and my pullets, who were out at the time, took a decided interest in her. Ella is a deadly mouser...

Question > Tips.... I am looking for advice on what can I add/or remove to the food and water, when feeding, to prevent young...
I have a flock of ten week old chicks. One is a pullet five are cockerels (never buying straight run again). I have to get rid of the cockerels I can’t keep them due to city laws. I have a flock of four three week old pullets. I am trying to introduce the young pullets to the bigger flock. My...
1) What type of bird, age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
One is an australorp, the other is an easter egger; they are about 8 weeks old.
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
One eye (the other seems fine) is runny, and they tend to keep them closed...

Hi,

I have a few mixed breed pullets. Not expecting anyone to have a difinitive answer, but any ideas what these guys are mixes of? I have some very unique girls! I'm assuming a lot of these are Easter Eggers. I have a few guesses myself and will include them at the top of the pictures :) The...
Hi,
So I was hoping someone could give me an estimated time frame in which these chicken breeds start laying. I know the general rule that is seen most often is between 18 to 24 weeks, but that's not a true statement for different breeds of chicken. Various breeds have different time frames. So...
