    Cream Legbar, Welsummer or Welbar???

    Calling all experts! I really wanted a Welsummer, but now I am confused as to what these girls could be. I'm just a beginner so I have no idea...they all are so similar!

    Flock is balding??

    Good Day! After days of nursing one of my chicks back to health and putting them back in the coop, I noticed that a lot of the others have bald spots or feathers that look like they've dried up hard. A few have a pasty butt yet thats treatable. The little guys only sleep a lot or huddle under...

    Baby Chick is obsessed with me

    Help! My week old baby chick is a little too attached to me! I love her so much, but she hates being in brooder. She panics, paces and cries if I leave the room. She just wants to be held 24/7. I’m loving it, but I’m going away for a few days at the end of the month and I want her to be ok and...

    Dumor chick starter/grower

    How long do i give them this for? I was wondering if i can give it to them till they’re able to eat layer feed. Should i manage how much my 3 day old chicks eat? Or do i just let them eat however much they want?

    Hi everyone, I just received a bantam mix from Meyer Hatchery on Tuesday 11/2 and this little cutie (I’m pretty sure she’s a mottled Cochin) was doing great the first day but yesterday she was barely walking around and never ate on her own. In the afternoon I got her to drink some...

    Chicks huddled in corner

    I have 3 bantam silkies that are about a week old in a brooder about 3.5ft×1ft, I am using a heat lamp, and I noticed they are huddling in a corner. I know that when they are lumped together it usually means they are cold, but they are not sitting directly under the light. Unfortunately, I do...
