Can these chicks go in the brooder together? Is there a point where they need to be separated?

I have been away for a few years. I had a barnyard mix of about 25-30 hens and few Roosters and then hatched out about 100 chicks and sold about half. Lost the coop in a fire and moved twice. I now live in town and can't take it. I miss the farm, the country and my chickens so bad. So...I...

I rent a farm in Central, IL and I am an active member of this site and love it. In my coop today I have about 16-18 hens and 2-3 roosters. I have a second pen with temporary shelter for another 7 pullets that I hatched. Inside the coop, I have another 10 one month old chicks. In my basement...

Dad was either a Java or a Barred rock. Mother could be almost anything? I have seen pics that look very much Easter Egger....but that is not possible...I hatched this from my bator

Ok....the first time I set 36 and hatched 12....all lived 5 cockerals and 7 pullets. I think about 12 were not fertile and the power went off in a snow/ice storm for 4/5 hours. Second time I set 41 and 9 hatched and 7 lived. I turned off the heat in the house and went to Texas. Came home and the...

I just finished my first hatch. I guess I did ok with 12 healthy chicks, but I started with 36. I was using an LG still air and I fill the water holders in the bottom and let it go. I watch the temps and added water a few times, but I never really knew what the humidity really was. I went to...

I just got my birthday Incubator and I am working on getting it set up. Looking to set some eggs by Sunday night for a Feb 20th hatch. My roos are a Silver Laced Wyandotte, a Barred Rock and an Auburn Java. My hens are SLW, BR, Java, Red and Black Sex-Link and a Easter Egger. This is my first...

Much to my surprise....one of my four Silver Laced Wyandottes has gone broody. They hatched in Feb. 2010 and of my mixed bag of 18 hens, she is the only one to even come close. I think she is on 6 or 7 eggs. Some hers, some not. she is keeping them very warm. My guess is she either had a Barred...

I have 20 hens and four roosters and by later winter I am going to start hatching my some chicks. I have some breeding ideas and I want to hatch some for meat, some to add to my flock and some to sell. This will NOT be a huge operation and is really just a hobby. Not into it for money at all...

About 5-6 weeks ago, Ester my Easter Egger: Started showing all the signs of a pullet who was about to lay....she even spent about an hour a day in the nesting box. Last Saturday I found a mint green egg under the corner of the neighbors tool shed. The shed is only 30 feet from my garage and...

so....what have I got myself into....she is small (today) about 5/6 weeks old....black and cute. Will she be good to my chickens? How big will she be? Dad (Thor) is a graet dane and about 170 pounds. Mom is a GSD and about 70. Is this a good mix?
