I got chicks about 1.5 weeks ago..Completely new to chickens, but I did a fair amount of research and bought a "Raising Chickens" book before I got them. So far it is pretty exciting. A lot easier to raise that this book or some things I've read online make it out to be. Blows my mind how fast they grow (and how much water they consume). I was actually a little worried the other day, as one of my RIR had a sour milk smell to her. I wasn't sure what was going on as she was acting fine, eating and drinking and chasing around the other chickens with meal worms. As of today, the sour milk smell has faded and she still is acting fine, so I'm assuming she is ok.
Happy spring chickening! Haha
Ok, I got them March 23, so, almost 2 weeks I've had them now. I think the Rhode Islands are a few days, maybe a week older than the rest? One of the ISA browns almost looked like she wasn't growing for the first week, but has recently caught up. Here is a picture from a few days ago...View attachment 1726011
