Hey guys!
I currently have 7 Red Star pullets available. They are all feathered out and ready for your coop. No heat lamp needed. They are a month and a half old and were hatched March 1st. They will start laying around 5 to 6 months old.
I am asking 20$ per bird and am located in Oxford...
I just moved my guineas/pullets to their new coop outside. Once they get acclimated and comfortable, I want to start letting them out in the yard a little bit. Initially I'm going to use a movable fence around their coop so they don't venture too far and know to go back home when it gets dark...
Im trying to figure out what my chickens genders are. They’re 6 weeks old. I have a Silver Laced Wyandotte, a Barred Rock, a Golden Sex-link, and a Sapphire Gem. I think my Barred Rock is a pullet and possibly my golden sex- link, but I’m unsure about my Silver Laced Wyandotte and Sapphire...
So I have a question, I had to move my pullets out to my mud room. Because having them this size (5 weeks) was too much. It’s heated stays around 65-72 and also a heat lamp, a electric space heater of it gets too cold. My question is the ventilation. I can’t open the doors because it’s just...
I’m looking for silkie bantam pullets or hens any color any age. I have 2 Roos and not enough females for them to share!!!!! Need more ladies lol My chickens are family and very spoiled.
I’m located in NY will pick up if nearby or am happy to pay for safe shipping methods.
So. My four week old pullets had their second day outside today. With access to the run for the first time. They finally explored it. And for the next three hours they were roaming around loving it. But then it was getting cold and dusk. So I wanted to get them in. Oh my god. They have access to...
Hi All,
I am currently brooding some babies and will have 3 or 4 for ready for purchase the weekend of March 19-21. They were sexed day olds from Meyer Hatchery and they will be $15 a piece. As they were mystery chicks, it is possible the Welsummer is a brown leghorn.
Available for local...
Ok guys, I already have 3 Wyandotte Silvers that are about 2 yrs old, just bought 4 chicks, 2 Easters n 2 Brahmas, when should I introduce the chicks to the hens?
Should I wait til its warmed up enough to put them outside or wait til they are pullets?
The silvers I have now I didn't put outside...
I have been raising a small flock of chickens for three years and have purchased all of my chickens at 6-8 weeks of age from the same breeder who does not vaccinate for Marek's. Due to the size of my coop I keep my flock at about seven chickens but over the past three years I have had to add new...
Hello all!! I have ten hens, they’re all pullets, and they’re absolutely lovely! I would love to add to the flock, though. How would the chickens fare if I got some new chicks? I know a lot of the time when you add new chickens to a flock that has already established a pecking order and whatnot...
So we’re getting more chicks in march and i’ve been doing a lot of research about how to safely integrate new pullets into an existing flock. But one thing I can’t seem to find info on is how you feed the calcium layer feed to the hens and grower to the pullets when they’re in the same coop? We...
First post, forgive me if im doing it wrong☺
I'll let the picture show the weather but this week is as cold as it ever gets where I live.
My birds are a barnyard mix that I've raised from 1 day to week 8. There are 8 and they are housed with eleven 9 week old Guinea Fowl. They've been together...
I have 10 hens, and they’re about 7 months old. I was getting eggs from just about all of them daily, and for the last few days they’ve all just stopped laying. I’ve gotten about four eggs total in the last four days. It’s definitely getting colder here, could that be the reason, or is it...
Today I picked up 6 pullets from a poultry supply store. It wasn’t ideal but I couldn’t find any local breeders this time of year. Upon inspecting them at home, I found poultry lice all over them and at least one of them was sneezing every minute or two.
I’ve heard all chickens have a few lice...
Hey guys!!!
So I recently had to do impacted crop surgery on one of my beautiful BR. It’s been about five days since the surgery, and she’s doing really really well. She’s been eating all the scrambled eggs I give her(not too much, just small portions with probiotics mixed in), drinking lots of...
Hi I'm Dawn from Oregon.

Buff Orpington, Speckled...
I have 4 rohode island reds, 4 barred rock and 4 gold laced wyandotte ready to lay pullets at 18 weeks old. And one black cochin rooster also at 18 weeks old. I have to sell these immediately because I found out that I am not allowed to have chickens in my area. They are all good egg laying...
Might be a silly question, but here goes!! I have some Easter eggers(I believe they’re EEs at least.. I’ve been linked sources, and tried everything but I really can’t tell for sure.. they definitely seem like EEs though), and was wondering if this was a normal colored egg or if she might be an...
