Hello! Currently I have 4 LF hens, none of their breeds are especially aggressive with other chickens, and they personally all have chill temperaments. We are moving in March and they’ll have a larger coup, so we’re looking at getting bantams. We’ve come up with a few potential options-
1. Get...
We are getting 2 new baby chicks tomorrow (we already have 2, the 2new ones are replacements for 1 that passed away).
We are getting 1 salmon favorelle for sure, other than that what breed would you guys suggest?
we are looking for a good layer, friendly, and most importantly QUIET!!!!!

Hello I’m not sure if I should post this here or on the baby chick forum but here it goes.
Yesterday, March 19th, we got 3 baby chicks, a black sex Link, a red sex link, and a Light Brahma. The sex links have not bullied the Brahma or anything. But from the start the Brahma has been very...
I definitely don't live in South Dakota, but I decided to make this thread for SD dwellers!
How hard is it to care for chickens in winter? It sounds like it would be very difficult! That is for a Californian :lol:! My dads from South Dakota and he grew up on a farm with chickens so he's told...
TL;DR- My once super sweet hen has now killed a 6 week old chick and hurt herself trying to get to another chick. Do you think she will ever be not so aggressive and be able to live with the chick that she hurt herself going after?
From the beginning. We got 3 chicks, 1 turned out to be a...
Skipper is the cutest sweetest most loving little chick ever. She is 7.5 weeks old and was sold as a Black Austrolorp Pullet. What do you guys think? I also have another chick (who passed away) who I was wondering the gender of, if you guys wanted to take a guess. 5-6 week old Silver Laced Full...
My 6 week old Silver Laced Cochin was pecked to death last night and I'm looking for support. Please post pictures of your babies (especially Cochins). I'm NOT looking for what I did wrong, just support.
We have 1 full grown, 2 year old hen I'm not here to talk about how I have only 1 alone, so get over it! I also have 2 6.5 week old chicks. 1 is a Cochin the other an Austrolorp. They are almost all feathered (it looks like at least) and I want to move them out to the big girl coop. They have...
I just got new chicks today & have been playing a game with them. I'll grab a little chick starter and sprinkle it in their cage and they'll run after it! It's pretty cute! Do you guys play games with chicks?
So we all build a chicken together!

I'm raising 4 cx for meat this year in 4h. We are doing the market trio and the birds need to be in between 3.5 and 6 pounds for fair!
I am only raising 4, because we aren't going to raising 185 chicks...
