I am so sad! My husband let my children & I buy some baby chicks not even two weeks ago, we obviously fell totally in love! The kids even have their own babies. And guess what? Out of the blue he decided he don't want to be married anymore! What the heck!!?? WHY would you allow us to acquire...

My little girl, Drew passed away. Is there something special I need to do with the body? My son & I were just going to run outside and bury her in a little cardboard "coffin". Everybody else seems to be just fine.

Help! Is there something wrong with my baby Drew? (BA) She doesn't seem to be growing a whole lot, she will be a week old on Wed. I've noticed that she has been hanging out by herself when sleeping too. Everyone will go to eat and she stays in the sleeping brooder all by herself. It dawned on me...

I have read a few posts and I have noticed the age range has varied between chicken moms & dads. I have 3 babies that are a week today & 5 more that will be a week on Weds. I am toying with giving them treats because well it just sounds fun! Will their age be okay? Should I wait until Wed...

Is it normal for chicks to do like the photo below? I don't even know how to explain it... like a gag motion? A few of them open their beaks and almost like a cat with a furball "ack" but they make no noise? Does this make sense?

Is this Marilyn Monroe or Marilyn Manson? I sure hope a Monroe...but I am questioning her disposition. She is very aggressive at the tender age of 3 days old! She definitely is #1 and rules over all the others, very protective of everyone else (if they cry she comes running), everyone seems...

Curious if this is just legs that haven't gotten their bearing yet or if I should be concerned, she was born yesterday and just doesn't seem as active as the others. Takes a few steps and just plop. But other times she seems to be fine. We're looking at the Golden Buff if that comes into question.

To deter any possible cat burglars! I have 5 indoor meowers, it is not pretty but they do not like it! Whatever it takes...

My babies were just born on Monday, I have noticed their little wings thinning of their down. Is this normal for so young?

Is this just a case of a dirty birdy? Just curious, first timer, pasty butt is dried isn't it? Cakey? She is not very fond of being held and was yelling like crazy when I picked her up to wipe her down. Hers seemed to be a bit moist. Is she okay? While I was snapping a pic for you guys she...

Okay, kinda freaking out a bit...let's ignore the fact that I am a little on the neurotic side for the moment...oh and I am new too. First & foremost I made a mama heating pad because I liked the fact that they could snuggle under it & heat lamps scare me. I've had it on all day and the sand...

Hi all! I have a few questions and concerns I am hoping you all could help me out with. I will include some pictures to help explain what I am talking about. First- I have a premade coop, I know building your own is probably better but I am a first timer and figured I would buy my first coop...

Is it okay for chickens little feet to use chicken wire laid directly onto the ground in their RUN and then covered with a hay/sand mixture for the actual flooring? I'm obviously worried about critters come from the under the floor, but didn't want to potentially harm my birds. Inside my...

Hi everyone! I will become an official chicken mom on April 18th! I also have an order for April 20th as well. I am so eggcited I can hardly stand myself!! Last night my boys put my first coop together and I made an addition for my recently built brooder. What do you guys think? For their...

Hello everyone! Hope I am putting this in the right area... I am a newbie & soon to be a brand new chicken mom in a few weeks! So forgive my ignorance. I know week by week you drop the temperature down by 5°, but my question is, is there a way to do heat control with a heat lamp (double...
