how did you resolve the issue with them slurping up weeds? we are not allowed to free range(i would not anyway as we have tons of hawks and owls) and i like to give the ladies stickywilly, grass etc so they have greens. the grass is usually in a clump from weeding so that's probably safe🙄silly...

We got 4 cream legbar day old chicks from TSC 3 1/2 weeks ago. I know they are autosexing and looked "right"( chipmunk stripe and eye liner.) one chick had a slightly less dark and less continuous stripe but not significantly different all of a sudden, one looks very different! in the last...

if you have silkies, they will not go on roost bars. a nice milk crate or box on the ground will be good for them

i would suggest waiting to rehome as my 7 jam themselves together on a 54" roost bar by choice. also we have a covered run that i winterize by putting tarps over the screen to block the wind and they stay only in the run, never go into the insulated coop🙄 i wanted them to have lots of vertical...

according to all info i have read and real experiences , it varies wildly by breed. we have some isa browns and amberlink that have 2-4 years for life expectancy

some lady who knew what she was doing, just posted on a group that all 20 died and they told her to pound sand basically. i would rather see them in person myself

we have a midnight majesty maran named raul...she is my fave. she actually lays more than she is supposed to and her eggs are huge and dk brown/speckled plus she is super sweet and docile. all mine were from TSC last july and are healthy ladies, no roos. i am seeing a ton of chicks dying posts...

we are looking to get acreage and are trying to make sure ganesevoort/northumberland is chicken friendly. it's a weird address that comes up as south glens falls too so trying to cover the bases before committing to anything the town websites (just ordinances for the "village" of glens falls)...

my barred rock lays very light brown/tan medium sized eggs. she is a sweet girl and lays most days but her eggs are the smallest of my flock(isa browns, midnight majesty maran, amberlink and olive egger)

yes! i have midnight majesty from TSC and i love her...she is my fave! she lays beautiful very large darker brown eggs with freckles!

i just got a barred rock chick at TSC and it looks just like this. of course the olive egger looks almost identical 🙄

new chicken mom here...i am very interested in your post because i was handling our 4 week old silkies this morning and the one i named matil peck my hand as i went to pick her up. i reached back into the box they are in and noticed she(or he) literally was following my hand and definitely was...
