    How to keep snakes away from chicks

    Hello all, I have 2.5 week old chicks and they were getting too big for their brooder. Yesterday was their first day in the “big run” and they all did fantastic during the day. I went to check on them at 9:30 last night and counted all five. This morning, I went out there at 7:00 and found...

    Hyperflexed hip, baby chicks x4

    I'm so new at this. 1. I have 4 chicks, between 2 and 3 weeks old. They might be all different breeds and hatched at different time. I rescued them spontanously (no questions asked) 2. All have been hobbled since I got them 2 weeks ago. Legs are now under them, but they are not walking on...

    What am I doing wrong???

    Okay, so I’ve been raising chicks for almost three years now. My survival rate for my chicks has always been high; I rarely lost a chick in the past 3 years, and I’ve raised so many. I just always put extra time and care into my chicks. But I don’t know where everything went wrong this time...

    Everything that went wrong with my first hatch

    Hi there, I'd like to share my experience with my first hatch ever. We got chickens two times before, but those were hybrid chickens and they died after 3-4 years. After that, we decided to not keep chickens anymore, but when we found an Omlet Chicken coop, we finally were ready for chickens...

    Need a better waterer

    Hi all, We are about a month away from adding to our flock, and I'm trying to prepare. I've raised baby chicks before, and I used the plastic water that screws on to the red base and gravity feeds to water the chicks. I hate that thing. Mine doesn't tighten down all the way (it jumps the track)...

    We have 3 almost 10 week old EE, and I think one of them may be a roo 🤦🏻‍♀️. The other morning one of them started honking in the AM 🤣 and that same one made that same sound but a little more defined (I think). If this is a roo 😭😭, she/he is handicapped due to some crooked toes (tried...

    Rambling About My First Few Days of Chicken Keeping

    I woke up earlier than normal today to check on my chicks because of the amount of noise they were making. They're in my room, and I heard tons of scratching and pecking at the walls of their brooder. When I finally pulled myself out of bed, I looked into the brooder to see a HUGE hole they had...

    1st time hatching chicks....pullet???

    I am very new at sexing chicks at all, I have gone through my 17 chicks and marked the ones I'm guessing are cockerals. However, this 1 chick is having me still on the fence. I labeled it as a girl by wing, but I'm not very positive at all. Could be a week old today, sat or sun as my eggs...
