    First time having chicks, suspicious rooster behavior

    Hello! This is my first time posting here after lurking for advice while the chicks were younger. I have two adult hens (red star and ISA brown) in my backyard that I got as pullets, but after one of my hens decided to have a brief egg-eating stint (solved by the mustard-in-eggshell trick...

    Polish Chicks Sexing

    Hello there, I have these two Polish Chicks that I got from a breeder on May 24. They are both different ages. I was supposed to get 10 days old chicks but by the time I arrived there they were all sold, so after some persuasion he gave me some of the chicks he spared for himself. I asked how...

    Does this mean they’re comfortable with me?

    My chickens are still around the age they need a heat lamp, about to grow out of it, so they stay inside but I take them outside during the day to get them used to it. When I do they always stick near me and I even once got used as a mama chicken when something spooked the pair and they tried to...

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? My mom got chickens 16 years ago after immigrating our family to Australia. They were silkie chickens. I got my first chickens myself in my early 20s but suffered a terrible miscarriage that almost killed me so I gave them to my mom...

    Post office, morning or noon?

    I usually get chicks at very early morning when I go to the post office after letting them know a week and a day before my chicks are shipping into the local post office for 8 years. However, yesterday, I let my post office know that my chicks might arrive on June 3-4th after hatching on the...

    Is it too early to know gender?

    After losing my previous flock to a hawk around three years ago I finally was able to get new chicks and a new coop. They’re supposed to be a Dominque and a Rhode Island Red and I hope they’re both girls or that only one is a boy as I only need one rooster I got them around a week or so ago at...

    Coccidiosis??

    So I have some baby chicks who all of a sudden started getting weak and dying within days. It started with my kikiriki chick who had messy feathers, stood under the heat lamp with its head down a lot of the time and now my two silkie chicks are doing it too along with a silkie mix. They all seem...

    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...
