Hey! Got 4 new chicks today (2 Wyandotte and 2 RIR). After about 24hrs, to settle from being new, are they ok to integrate to my 3 week flock currently in the brooder? Thanks!

I’ll give it another week then. Thanks for the advice. My introduction flock has been hand raised so they’re pretty confident in general. (2 barred rock, 1 RIR, and 1 who knows what lol).

We’re having a hard time introducing 4 others to her specifically. They’ve been in a see don’t touch coop/run for a week, but the last two times we did supervised interactions she was unkind to say the least. Thank you!! Thank you!!

This is Maisy, she’s a 9 week old Isa Brown. This is my first time with chicks/chickens. She has a much more aggressive personality than her siblings. However, she looks pretty dang similar to them. Any thoughts that she could actually be a rooster? Thanks!

My 5 week old Cream Legbar has had mucus stools the last 24hrs. Eating, drinking, and foraging like usual. No others in the flock with this stool. Any ideas? Thanks!

So adding another is basically pointless, I need one big one?

I have two different flocks at this point. 5 chicks that free range most of the day and are in a coop that accommodates 6 chicks at night. My other flock is 4 chicks. These chicks will free range during the day once they are big enough. Is it ok to set up another 6 chick coop or do I need to...

Any thoughts on what breed this chick is? Stevie is around a week old!

For those following along the names we went with: #1 - Cali - bravest so far #2 - Stevie - very dependent on Winona lol #3 - Talulah - loves some people snuggles #4 - Winona - puts up with Stevie being needy lol

The front one has developed into what we this is a Leghorn (Dolly) and the back one is looking a lot like our existing Isa Browns (Charlie). This is them in their teen phase lol Dolly - she’s probably the tiniest in this flock, but she’s a confident gal, generally leading the charge on...

Chicken math got us lol. Here are our four new chicks from TSC. The only one I think was mislabeled was #2 if someone could confirm! #1 - Rhode Island Red Pullet #2 - supposedly a Sapphire Easter Egger, but due to the feathered feet and smaller size I’m thinking a Porcelain D'Uccle. So he/she...

Thank you so much for the info! I really appreciate it.

Is there anything else I should be adding to the mix as well? Thanks!

Our flock of 6 has been getting Purina Organic Starter/Grower from TSC since we brought them home. They are around 3 weeks old and have been moved outside. It is ok to add this Free Range Blend scattered across the run with grit added while still having the Purina in their chicken feeder? They...

This is my first go with chicks. I got the OK to leave them in the run and coop overnight given the temps. They’re around 3wks. Do I place the feeder/water in the coop overnight or just leave it in the run for daytime? Thanks

At night though it’s usually in the 40s. Should I bring them in for the nights?

My chicks are 2-3 weeks old. Temps are about 60-70 degrees during the day. Could they do little outside trips for a few hours? Is that warm enough? Thanks!!

She looks about the same. If anything has become lighter in color. Comb is the same size and color.

After further investigation, it may be a Leghorn Pullet. We finally found the receipt and that’s what it’s listed as. Thoughts?

We got this sweet chick, Dolly Parton, listed as a golden commet pullet. I was skeptical because of how light she was. As she’s maturing her comb is more pronounced than the other chicks and she’s getting lighter and lighter. Do y’all think Dolly Parton is actually a Darius Rucker? Thanks!
