So, the initial chick buying frenzy has nearly ceased in our area. TSC now has an abundance of chicks and I could hear the little chirps and peeps as soon as I walked in the door. So a quick detour (just to look) and I could see the discount sign posted for the chicks they've had for too long...

I'd never heard of these. It sounds like what I'd need. I just wonder if what I have can be used the same way since it has a coop heater option. They are out of the shop now and inside my small coop so they can get some sun, closed in with just the produce's pride plate set on the brood option...

Might just be the adjustment. She's been through a lot for a chicken, going from one place to another. I'd maybe give poultry cell just as a boost. Watch to make sure she's roosting with the others fine and continuing to eat okay.

Hi! Just wondering if you decided you use the A Frame Tractor. I'm looking at adding a second coop that I can move around and was considering this as well.

Can you feel the plate to make sure it's working? Like said above, I slant mine low on one end and slightly raised in the front so they can choose their level of warmth. It took about an hour or so for my heat plate to be the temp it needed to be. Maybe you could remove the heat lamp now and see...

I was looking at ordering from Ideal or My Pet Chicken for a small order. But the local feed store was able to add my order to his and this worked out better. He could give them water for me when they came in and I didn't have to take a day off work to be there when they arrived at the post...

I had a few picked out to order from Ideal. Every time I logged on, my shipping date was pushed farther back and I was trying to figure out work schedules so I'd be able to pick them up at the post office. We just started using a local feed store for bulk cattle feed and I picked up some of his...

I was just looking this up as I have one that appears to be going through an early molt in the middle of winter. Do you notice the other chickens pecking at her? I found this article helpful: https://www.ecopeanut.com/chicken-losing-feathers/

We recently started buying from a local feed store for a brand made in the state. I'm now paying $20 for 50lbs.

Thank you. This is helpful. Do you know about how far from the bottom your heat lamp is? 2 feet maybe? We typically also do not always get below freezing during the day or even at night like this, but that arctic air visits us on occasion like it is this week.

thank you!

Thank you! I have the producer's pride brooder/ coop heater. I don't see where the brooder could work for below 50 degrees. I've search online, but did not see one that would?? I'll look into the heating pad. Does that work in all temps? I'm not wanting to keep them indoors if possible, and the...

I've been reading through posts and I think I've decided what I might do. But if anyone is in a similar climate or situation, I'd love some advice. I've brooded chicks outside during the spring twice with success. I used a small coop and a brooding plate. This was the plan again for this year...

I need this auto coop door in my life...

What I'd really like to have is.... more chickens! I'd love to add a few buff orpingtons to the flock. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/buff-orpington-live-chicken-pack-of-10
