I have an 8x12 coop and a 20x12 run. A lot of space to avoid each other. I also am adding 3 so not just one will be bullied.

They came from a backyard breeder and I'm not sure about the certification. They're vaccinated with coccidiosis and merricks in their coop had no bedding just poop dust. It was a very dirty environment but they had clean water and clean food. And the chicks seem to be in good health I'm just...

I have 11 8 weeks old chicks running around the coop. No older chickens. I have purchased 3 more 6-7 week old chicks and they are in quarantine. How long should I quarantine them for? They are vaccinated from coccidiosis and Merricks and they came from dirty environment. They basically lived in...

Thank you I have slightly panicking. The non vaccinated one is Sofie my white Ameraucana. I love her to pieces. When should I incorporate all three into my existing flock of 11, 8-week-old chicks?

I made the biggest mistake when I started quarantining 2 new chicks, 8 weeks old. I got them from a very reputable person who's raising chickens. The chicks are vaccinated from Merricks and coccidiosis. The hatchery recommends that raising the chicks in their own poop strengthens the vaccine so...

I got these two chicks from an acquaintance and she told me she hatched them from barnyard mix auction eggs. I know nothing about the breed or gender of the chicks, only that they are 4-5 weeks old. The white one is standard size for 4 weeks, has funny little whispies on the cheeks. The...

The friend is not close and I haven't seen their chickens or their set up. I know that she doesn't feed the chicks medicated feed (she didn't even know it was a thing) so when I brought them home I separated them into a small brooder and gave them medicated feed. She had them mixed in with...

I got two new six week old chicks from a friend. I currently have 13, 6 week old chicks. How do I go about incorporating them together? How long do I keep them apart for quarantine? They're are all about coop ready, should I quarantine them in separate rooms in the coop?

Thank you, his name is Otto, he is disabled and is my favorite child.

I have been racking my head around on trying to identify the gender of these 6 week old chicks. I have done a lot of research and I'm fairly confident they are both roosters.

I have a silver laced wyandotte and lavender orpingtons rooster available. They are 6 weeks old. Please message me for details and pictures.

At what age do you suggest I do something about them? Now at 6-7 weeks or wait till they are older?

Hello! I am new here and this is my first question. I purchased 13 chicks and I have 3 roosters among them. One has crowed at 6 weeks, which is very early I might say, and the others have bright red combs . I have been convinced to keep one rooster. What do you recommend I do to remove the...
