I have a good size breeding flock of silkies, and it poured yesterday and it was cold. The majority of my birds were ok, I dried them off, got them warm, and put them in our garage out of the cold. I do have one little pullet who I think got too cold and she won’t walk. She’s doing better than...
Hi everyone. We have show broilers, we’ve had them for 4 weeks now. I think some of them have contracted coryza. I’ve never dealt with this before so I don’t know what to do. Are my other chickens safe? They are on different sides of the yard and I usually tend to my layers then the broilers...
Im looking for more BBS silkies but I’m trying to stay away from more eggs if possible. I know there are quite a few breeders out there, but it’s hard to find somebody close. I’m in Tx.
Thanks!

Hello y’all! I have some 3 wk old chicks from McMurray and some 1 wk old chicks I hatched. What is the best age to introduce them to each other and start housing them together? There’s only 4 youngsters that I hatched that will be staying and 30 chicks from McMurray.
Hello everyone! I have a friend with a few chicks from TSC, and she’s trying to identify the breeds. I’m pretty confident on some of them, but all opinions would be appreciated ! I know how TSC is with identifying chicks.
Thanks guys!

My flock has grown so much sense I got my OG 8 girls from TSC 2 years ago. It’s crazy how time flies! I started with no experience, and very little knowledge on what I was getting into. What I didn’t know was how far they were gonna take me. Over the past couple years we have gotten so many more...
Hi everyone. I have these 4 chicks (2 males, 2 females) that I “accidentally” hatched a while ago. They are 13 1/2 weeks old, and their dad is my Easter Egger Rooster. 3 of them have a Langshan mom, and the last little female’s mom is a partridge Plymouth Rock. I’m not sure if I’m gonna keep the...
I wasn’t planning on buying chicks, I was just going to hatch them out, but chicken math exists, so I ordered some chicks to come in May! 8 Welsummers, 11 Whiting True Blues, 4 Easter Eggers, and 4 Bielefelders.
I have a broody cochin bantam that is sitting on a nest. She has been sitting for 4 days on some fake eggs while I try to decide what to do with her. I don’t really want to break her, but I’m scared that it’s too cold for her to hatch chicks. I’m not sure what to do. My other option is to let...
Hi everyone. I have 2 EE roosters in my flock and I’m wondering what to look for in a good breeding rooster. I’m leaning toward the 2nd one because he has muffs and a beard, whereas the 1st one has no muffs/beard.

Hi y’all!
I have my 19 chicks outside in a tractor that is in my chicken run. I have a Bielefelder rooster from that flock that is very gentle and I put him in with the chicks. Is this a good idea? The rooster is 6 months old and the chicks are 6 weeks old.

I hatched this one chick from a friend. It’s an Olive Egger (RIR x EE) and I’ve noticed it has what look to be tufts. Are these tufts?!? She is so cute!
Hi y’all,
My chicks that I hatched October 13th are now 5 1/2 weeks old. I was wondering when I can put them outside during the day and when they can go outside permanently. The low during the day is low 70s and the low during night time is low 50s- high 40s.
Hi y’all!!
I am getting some blue partridge Brahma eggs tomorrow and I have collected 1 Partridge Rock egg and 1 Black langshan egg, which will both produce OEs, and 2 bantam Cochin eggs that I got Tuesday and today (I’m not sure if they are fertile though…). I’m very excited because the girls...
Hi Y’all!!!!
I just recently got offered some Brahma eggs and I of course said yes!!! I do have chicks in the brooder, but the week before the eggs will be due to hatch they will be ready to go outside. I will be getting them sometime in 2 weeks and already have my incubator sitting out ready...
