Free barnyard mix chicks 1 week old 6 total Located in Whitby

Hi! We got 4 new chicks last weekend, so they are a little over a week old. We now have a first time broody hen. She’s been on the nest for about 3-4 days. We’ve been collecting eggs from her. But one day it was raining and 3 got left under her. So my question is- can we slip the new baby...

i’ve seen a few others talking about this but something i havnt seen any discussion on is this scenario. i got day old chicks last tuesday and they’re all active and healthy and learning fast. unfortunately no hens took to them so we’re just keeping them inside with a heat lamp and a little set...

Hello! First time chicken mama up in Canada! Got a dozen barnyard mix eggs, which we incubated and had 9 successfully hatch (now down to 7 due to an untimely power outage :hmm) on April 20th! Excited to see what they end up looking like and laying, sharing the garden and hopefully some...

Hi I'm Jacque, I've cared for grown chickens, but I've never raised chicks of my own. This fall I took the plunge and am finishing up my chicken coop and run. Coops just about ready for my chicks. My chicks are in a brooder in my house, warm and comfy. They are 3 1/2 week and 1 1/2 weeks old...

Hi everyone! I recently hatched 6 lil chicks and today I noticed one of them has injured its beak. I will attach photo to this post. I cleaned it with some water and isolated him from rest of the chicks as they were pecking at it and possibly making it worse. There wasn't blood or anything in...

Ok so I have 6 - three week old chicks, 2 or 3 are hens, which i am keeping, the remaining Roosters are going to a friend who has a farm, I just hatched out 14 new babies today. I want to wait about a week and then move the new chicks - hens and 1 Roo in with the older hens so that I don't have...

Our 2 silkies hatched 4 little RIR (rooster) x white leghorn chicks. I’m really excited to see what these babies will look like. The ACTUAL mamas refused to sit on their eggs. I heard something about hens genetics being messed with so they won’t sit on their eggs. Is that true? Post pictures of...

My wife and I ordered baby chicks, supposed to be all female, and we are on day 3 of raising them. Now that our chicks are more comfortable being held, we started trying to look at their wings to determine sex. We absolutely are not able to keep a rooster as it is not allowed in our city. Would...

my chicks (about a week old) keep getting water on their chests when they drink water. it doesn't seem to be bothering them all that much, but it happens. is this normal for chicks? are my babies just a bit stupid? should I be worried?

Shipped to CT successfully. Heating pack was still warm. Each pullet healthy, alert and content! One Frizzle Easter Egger, one Green Queen banty, and one Exchequer Leghorn. I’m sure you guys know who’s who! They will be joining my black Australorp/blue Orpington/Dominique crew! Trying...

Cross posting from teh new members section! I recently got five quail chicks from a local farmer and Im very excited about them! Maybe a little too excited. I bought them for eggs but I also want to tame them so they aren't afraid of me. I have read different opinions about how to tame quail...

Hey guys! Wondering if I’m overthinking things or if I need to get some medicine for my chicks. I have 1 week old chicks who have been chirping pretty loudly, like the kind of chirping that sounds like something’s wrong. I also just noticed that one of my chicks looks lethargic? Other symptoms...

We just got 3 chicks from Coastal and gave them to our Broody hen on Friday. It is love at first sight, and everyone is happy. It is now Sunday and I'd like to go back to the store and get ONE MORE chick. It would be from the same batch the same age as friday's chicks. My spouse is concerned...

Have about 60 chicks barnyard mix, 1 week old!

Now i do Have another set of Chicks that i hatched the same time as these ones. There are Three but we have decided to keep them in separate brooders that way we can monitor them separately (i dont know why but this is how my parents decided it) We use Pinewood Shavings for both and i do clean...

I am a new Chick owner. Really i only did this because my parents wanted to see if by chance we could actually hatch chicks. I have four Chicks now all a week old. The weather here has been in the 90s and the temperature inside is at 88. I have turned off the heat lamp during the day due to...

Chicken math hit me and my husband hard at TSC the other day. We went in with zero intention to get babies. Then my husband said get 9. I said no and then we settled on six. We ended up with nine. 3 Rhode Island Reds (all pullets) 3 black Jersey Giants (straight run) 3 Barred Rocks (straight...

Got these Easter Egger baby’s and me and the breeder tried to make sure we did our research on sexing the chicks by wings/feathers. Well we both second guessed ourselves in the process and did the best we could. I came home with 10 chicks. Hoping to have all hens. In this picture I have two...
