    Need more food, should it be crumbles again?

    My chicks are 10 weeks old and I have about 5-6 days worth of their crumbles left. When it’s time I plan to feed all flock and oyster shells. Obviously they’re not laying yet. Should I buy all flock now or another bag of crumbles? Thanks!

    Would starlight green eggers take baby chicks as their own?

    I’m a brand new chicken owner with my first flock of chickies. I bought 6 SGEs from Tractor Supply, and I think they’re thriving well. I am planning on getting a few of them butchered to make room for some more chickens (per my city’s regulations) and I was wondering: if I introduce new baby...

    Chicks… again. never say never!

    Long story short, I started my chicken journey back in maybe 2018 (or earlier) for 4H. Since then, we’ve learned a TON and got more land. Anyhow, when my flock started eating their own eggs a few months back I swore I was just going to stop… uh well that brings us to now when my mom brought home...

    In Grass Valley, CA. Best material for chicken run?

    Our first chicks are almost ready to venture out into the world! Our run is currently compacted dirt and some weeds. Is gravel safe for the run floor? Mixed with sand? If so, which type? How deep? We want to keep it clean, sanitary, low maintenance, temperature regulated, healthy, and safe for...

    Is my Chick okay?

    I just hatched 2 chickens in my classroom. I have noticed some things about one of the chicks since it was born on Tuesday, and wanted to make sure he is okay. He seems to be very twitchy and also has some strange feather spots/patches. I will post a picture and video if I can. I am just worried...

    Jersey Giant question

    Hello! I got four Jersey giant chicks four weeks ago, and I have a question for anyone familiar with the breed. I’ve noticed, compared to the other chicks I’ve raised, these girls look rough feather-wise. It’s like their bodies are growing too fast for their feathers? One in particular is a...

    Guys or gals?

    Hello! I have a few 10 1/2 week old chicks and I’d like to know what I’ve got. I have one serama, who I believe is a little lady. One bantam Cochin. My other girl Cochins got red very early on, so I’m hoping this is the case. And a mystery chicken ( any idea what it is?)

    What would my chicks go for?

    Bought a pair of chocolate silkies and they’re laying consistently, so I am incubating a round of eggs and am expecting hatch soon, but what reasonable price can the chicks sell for?

    Copper, First Time Mama Hen Raise-Along

    Hello to everyone who is reading this, I hope you are having a great day! For over a month now I have had a broody hen, a BCM named Copper. She has been really devoted to laying on her eggs, but my hens all fight over one nesting box even though they have 3 identical ones, so she lets them lay...

    When to combine flock?

    So we got chicks and have had them in the same area as the rest of our chickens since purchase except they’ve been in crates as a little brooder area so there not fully together and are protected for all intents and purposes but can still “socialize”. However, some of these chicks are getting...

    Help! Swallowed fabric

    I just noticed her running with a long fabric string and she swallowed it before I could catch her. Pics below of more I found. This was fringe on a blanket that my pig destroyed, I tried finding all the pieces But I’m sure there’s more to be found. Now I think the “worm” I saw them eating...

    A pig and his chicks 🐷🐥

    This is our mini pig, Rufus. He will be 11 soon and loves every living creature. We’ve been introducing the chicks to him through a fence or brooder since they were 3 days old. We are now doing supervised contact visits and all seems to be going well. They tend to chase his tail 😂
