    Hi! I am fairly new to the farm world. We have a small backyard chicken coop we started in March, '23. We have 4 hens (1 Rhoad Island Red and 3 Orpingtons) currently. A few weeks ago, one became broody (before we re-homed our Rhoad Island Red rooster) and just yesterday, we got our first baby...

    What to feed hen & chicks

    Hen being housed indoors just hatched 4 chicks yesterday and they are so small they can only eat crumbs. I would just give them chick feed, but mum is eating the same food & I don't want her to get an upset stomach from it. Saw someone saying they just crush regular feed to chick size, so i...

    Chick help. Please

    I hatched some chicks, and this one hatched fine, but this looks concerning. Also, I had another chick pip, and make like a quarter sized hole, and then just died?

    Cross Breeds

    I have 2 black copper Maran roosters in my flock and several different hen types. I recently had a successful hatch of 2 eggs from my coop one is very much a Maran the other I believe is a x with ISA brown. Opinions? Thoughts? How do I determine sex? Thanks!

    Can we put a one day old chick under a broody hen who has week old chicks?

    We had two broody hens who were around a week apart in their incubation time. Hen #1’s chicks hatched about a week ago, and Hen #2 hatched two chicks this morning or earlier. Unfortunately, Hen #2 crushed one of her chicks and began attacking/pecking at the other one, so ultimately we removed...

    Dry fowl pox (how to manage in small coop with newly hatched chicks)

    Hello, everyone :) This is my first post and I wanted to use it to clear out some doubts about fowl pox. First of all, an 8 week old plymouth hen started to show little black scabs on her comb and eyes 5 days ago, so I immediately proceeded to isolate her from the rest of the flock. I have...

    I just got some new Bantams today, what are they?

    Hello! I just picked up some bantam chicks today, and the feed store owner when asked what type of Bantams they are just said “bantams” lol. We have two that look cow print with feathered legs, and two that are a blue color with bare legs. I’d love to know what breed of bantams I just got if...

    Breed identification!

    We were told we got lavender orpingtons, speckled Sussex, and light Brahma. I think we can differentiate those ones, but we also got olive eggers and ameracaunas; I can’t tell which they are… and I think there might be one more kind. The first 5 photos are of the 3 chicks I can’t identify...

    Hatching (Potential) Crossbeak chick--Correctable?

    I am hatching a new batch of easter eggers from a batch of girls I've had for a few years. Just this morning, the first egg pipped and I am very excited for this year's hatch to start. But when I looked closer at the pip a few hours later I could see the beak a little better. It looks like it...

    Adding chicks to chicks

    Good morning, I have (4) two week old bantam chicks, and tomorrow I am receiving (6) day old polish chicks. Will they be okay to put together in the same brooder? The 2 week bantams are feisty. Any tips?

    Chicks and Chickens Separated

    We sadly are only down to one laying hen so we decided to try again with more baby chicks. Would you suggest to still keep them (the laying hen and chicks) separate once it’s time for the chicks to come out?

    New babies… let mama do her thing or intervene?

    We woke up to 3 little babies running around, game hen and silkie mix. The mama seems to know what she’s doing, however we are concerned whether or not we need to step in. Should we keep babies with mama seperate with chick starter and water… or let her stay out with them and do their thing? I...

    Hatching

    I had 2 chicks hatch and are still drying. Others don’t look to be piping or hatching. Humidity dropped to 53% do I need to get the humidity back to 70% for the others or should I just leave it? It’s been at 53% for a few hours.
