Oh my goodness they are adorable! You and your daughter must be having so much fun! :love

Hiya, Sara, and welcome to BYC! :frow Such a wonderful story and testimony to BYC! Good luck with your flock and handling that chicken math. ☺️

Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow Have you seen our huge coop forum? On the left is an index to narrow them down to the type/size you want. Good luck on your new chicken venture!

Hiya, Milo, and welcome to BYC! :frow Yes, we love pictures!

Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow I wish you well in your chicken venture. It's so smart to plan ahead before you get the chicks. There's lots of help here!

We got a couple of barn cats from the Humane Society. They were free, fixed, and vaccinated.

We keep both in our coop. Our feeder holds about 20# and lasts them about two weeks. Their waterer is a 5-gallon DYI nipple bucket and lasts a month. We put RV water freshener in it because it'll begin getting slimy sitting there that long. I really think there are ways you can make this...

Awesome! Oh, and by the way, welcome to BYC!! :frow

You should not have to corral chickens as they should come out to wherever they are supposed to forage, and go back to their coop at night. The only ones that may need help are young ones but your old ones should do this by themselves. If it won't work with your setup, then can you change...

The chick starter/grower crumbles won't hurt him, medicated or not. In fact, they are higher protein, less calcium than layer feed so they'd be good for him. You could take the chicks off of medicated now if you wanted to though or just use it up. We just do two weeks and then get them...

Yes, they can peep inside their egg after they've internally pipped, so it shouldn't be too long!!

I do not believe a brace helps them unless the wry neck was caused by an injury. If it's a vitamin deficiency you could support its neck when it's sleeping/resting though. I'm only good with chickens so I'll tag a couple of my duck friends and see if they think a brace helps or if she needs...

He must've had an injury and it healed but maybe there is an infection inside. I'd try soaking his foot in warm Epsom salt water for several minutes to see if it will soften up for you to check better.

We made a temporary coop for ours. Ours mingled too out in the yard, but it'd be another two months before we dared try get them to sleep in the coop at night without being pecked and harassed by day in there. Then, we had more I hatched and made another temp coop. Our backyard is starting to...

Hi, and welcome to BYC! How old are they now? Are they on chick starter crumbles without being fed anything else? Eating and drinking fine? What's their bedding? Are they under a heat source with a way to get away from the heat?

Gosh, so sorry Cookie's going through all this. Had you wound up deworming her? If so, she needs probiotics afterward, such as a little bit of yogurt a couple times a day for a week or two, or just powders you can put in her water. We use Hydro-Hen. Here are two excellent articles about crop...

No other younger ones are exhibiting anything wrong? I'd almost have though coccidiosis but it's odd for an older chicken to get that, especially if a younger one didn't have it to spread. Her poops have been okay? Have you ever wormed them? I never have mine but if it's not coccidiosis...

So pretty. It'll be interesting what it looks like as an adult! You'll have to update us!
