Thanks for responding. Their pen outside is completed surrounded with wire, so they are nice and safe. One of them today poked her head out and pecking at a few bugs right by the opening, so hopefully it won't be long. They have a huge inside coop which they love, went to a yard sale and bought...

So, I have almost 8 week old Favorelle's they are sweethearts and have been in there coop for 2 weeks. I kept them inside for 1 week to acclimate to their home, then opened their hatch door to explore outside in a secured pen. They will not go outside. A couple of them have looked out near the...

I never thought of garage sales, going to look for more stuff as well but yes, they peck at the bells!

Mine is 6 inches, I keep it low until mine grow up more and then slowly raise a bit as they get older. I also hang toys with bells, they love the shiny stuff. I also bought a toy roller that you put treats in and when they push it, treats fall out. I have not used it yet since mine are only...

I am hanging a swing for my girls

Good morning from ChickyGoldens, My 5 girls are just about 6-1/2 weeks old. I have them in their new chicken house and they love it. I have a heat light hanging for them but they never go under it. Temp inside is anywhere from 50-58 in the morning. They went out there on Mother's Day (Last...

I am a new chicky mom too ;-)

Thanks, I am in the Pacific NW and it is about 42 degrees at night but I was planning on putting my heat light in the coop hanging and putting the coop for just 1/2 their space for now. (put wire across, since it is so big) Then plenty of pine shavings to snuggle down into.

My Salmon Favorelle's (5 chicks) are almost 4 weeks & I am wondering when they can go in the chicken coop. No adults are with them. I can have heat in there as well with them. I have heard full feathering but with heat was hoping they could go soon.

Such a cute picture. I have potty pads underneath my shavings.

His neck and chest are heavy.

I see pics and he is over weight. Get him on a lower calorie food, it will help. My girl Willa is 68 lbs and her head is huge as well. I just wanted to help. He is a big boy but.....

I can tell you now, he is too big. Get some weight off of him and it will really help. A lot of my families think they look great. You should be able to see his waist line and feel his rib easily. Put him on a light calorie food. My almost 8 year old is trim, when she gets too much weight, I...

I saw your bio, Cancer Warrior, my husband is fighting cancer and I am a grandma with 2 grandkids so far :celebrate

We can be best friends. I have 4 Golden Girls, oldest is Rain, retired at 7-1/2, then my next is Willa age 4 in August, had a litter last November and I kept the top pick girl who is Swayze and then I have Joy who will be 2 in December. I wait to breed until over age 2 to ensure they pass hips...
