    Breed identification

    Hello, Hoping I can get some views from this knowledgeable community. I got this baby chick the day she was born, April 12, and she was sold to me as a blue laced red Wyandotte. Now that she is 11 weeks old, she’s looking more like a golden laced Wyandotte to me-thoughts? One of the photos I’ve...

    FBCM - hoping for a hen 🤞🤞🤞

    Ok, thank you @The Moonshiner @BoundlessLove and @wrathsfarm. Not the news I wanted but I suspected as much. Now a question of advice, I got two chicks on 4/12 (born that day), a BLRW and a FBCM. The first FCBM passed at 8 days old. Got a replacement chick on 4/23 so Millie, the BLRW wouldn’t be...

    Ah, ok-thanks! And I’ve got crumbles for now, but would like to switch them to pellets at around 8 weeks, if possible

    Separate food for separate age groups

    Thanks! Can the chicks/pullets have the 2% calcium in their diet? I thought you weren’t supposed to give them calcium?

    Separate food for separate age groups

    Hi all, just curious how do people advise handling food when integrating young pullets into a flock of adults? I have a two young chicks (one hatched 4/12, one hatched 4/23), 5 adult hens (around 18-22 months old), and a treadle feeder that can only have pellets in it. I know the chicks/pullets...

    Help . . . Rats!

    Have you got pics? I’m curious to see if that buried chicken wire fence works. I have heard they can chew through everything except hardware cloth.

    Help, very slow weight gain

    So the chick starter I have them on is medicated for coccidiosis. Is there anything else I should do to treat her?

    Here’s a pic from this morning. She’s just sleeping while standing up a lot, not making any noise, not really eating anymore
