    Heat Lamp needed or Spoiled Chicks?

    Lately it's been about 75 to 80 at night, so I haven't turned on the heat lamp. Since doing this my almost 4 week old chicks will whine and fuss for some time. I know they are plenty warmth, food, water, and nothing out of the norm. Is this normal adjustment to no heat lamp?

    Chicks with pics - Week 3

    Here are the babies - getting bigger and growing feathers! This week we saw many getting tail feathers and filling out wings. They are roosting on the bar we put into their brooder. They still seek out some heat under the heat plate, but most of the day they are not spending much time under...

    Question about Feeding

    At what age do I stop giving my chickens as much food as they like. I put out enough that it takes them a few days to a week to get it eaten. They are almost four weeks old now, and they don't seem to be pigging out as of yet. However I was wondering about the age when I should stop giving food...

    Opinions on gender? Buff Orpingtons!

    3 week old buff Orpington, Daisy. I have 2 and they both have combs coming in. Didn’t get 2nd photo because Ducky isn’t as friendly. I’ve looked at full grown hens and they have a small comb, but is there any chance this could be a indication of a cockerel? Thank you!!!

    Chick report

    Alright, I've got two roost for my chicks in their pen that's on the grass and the only one roosting insists on the waterer and the feeder. I'm also wondering when the other ones are going to start roosting as well.

    Is it normal???????

    I've got a feeder for my chicks that I've been using since they came out. There are roughly about 3 weeks old, and they're getting up on the feeder pooping in their food. Of course I'm going to change the food out but is this something that chicks just do? I'm keeping the brooder box clean and...

    Help!!! I love my Cornish x (as a pet). How to keep them healthy?

    Yes, I know...it's a doomed pet. But I'm good at doing the extra leg work for the things I love ( doomed or not). These 3 Cornish x are almost 3 weeks, and are technically for my sister's ffa project. But, they definitely won't make show. They have been given a high protein diet and fed 24/7. I...

    Started my first flock in over 10 years!

    A little less than two weeks ago I bought my first flock of 5! We ended up with two Brahmas, two Road Island Reds, and one Americauna (so excited about blue eggs!) I am still trying to figure out how to repurpose an old dough-boy pool frame into a chicken run. Any ideas helpful! Right now the...
