Hi So I’ve got 4 pullets in a run, 2 chicks in a brooder, and 4 in another bigger “brooder”. I’m going to be putting all of them in a chicken “yard”. So 10 chickens total, although 2 are bantams. My enclosed yard is 36’ long and about 20’ wide. Is that comfortable for 9.5 chickens? Not what...

Hi, I put my pullets out in their coop/run full time a week ago. I have PLENTY of predators out here in the sticks. I let the girls free range everyday, and only when my husband or myself are out there with them. We’ve had a hawk around here for years. All last year he would perch on our...

Hi, day 18/19 incubation. All was perfect at lockdown. Perfect sized air cell, beak pointed directly at it and movement. I placed the eggs completely flat. And one egg was rock n rolling all day. Checking on my eggs I noticed the rocker has tipped forward/backward. Pointy end down, fatter end...

I hope this is the right forum for this. I’ve been reading a lot about ppl getting chickens or ducks and asking about how to deal with their neighbors. And a lot of the comments and reply’s are “well ask your neighbors how’d they’d feel about you getting chickens”. Um.. I’m sorry what?? I’m not...

Hi! I’ve got a couple questions. My girls are 7-8 weeks old. Their main food source is still chick starter feed. I’ve read about “treats” to give chickens but my girls do not like them. Meal worms: No Tomatoes: No strawberries: No, pumpkin, cucumber, bread no no no. They love cooked green beans...

Hi, first time chicken owner, I’ve got 4 red sex link pullets, and 4 chicks. Is there a chicken breed underground that I’m unaware of? Like the Free Masons of chickens?? Before I decided to get chickens, I read EVERYTHING I could about them. And yall chicken ppl blow my mind with ALL the...

Hi, I live in the country and about a 1/2-1 mile away from a neighbor who apparently has a rooster. I’ve heard him crow everyday for weeks. (I love a roosters crow so fine by me). Anyway, I put my RSL pullets outside full time about 5-6 days ago. And they loved the coop but were scared to go...

Hi, I’ve got 2 bantam frizzle something’s and 2 legbars. The bantams are 4 weeks+ old and the legbars are pushing 3 weeks. They’re all about the same size, and share a brooder. I HIGHLY suspect Gomez, my frizzle with the red comb is a rooster. He’s more aggressive than the rest. But I slightly...

Hi, first time incubator, I’ve got 6 eggs in the incubator. I got them from my neighbor who has wonderfully healthy chickens. Easter eggers, Rhode Island reds, and Black Marans. Anyway, today is the 6th day of incubation and I candled the eggs. (I candled right before I put them in the incubator...

This biddy y’all! I’ve got 4, 6 week old RSLs and 2 bantams, the bantams are 2 weeks old. Gomez (the slightly bigger bantam) has a chicken comb that’s twice the size of Morticias and very red. His disposition is different kind of assertive not mean just..assertive. I was thinking rooster but who...

Hi! I couldn’t find a 1-800 number for my chicken addiction so I bought these 2 yesterday. Supposedly cream legbars- doesn’t matter to me they’re adorable. They’re about a week old, and I’ve got them in the brooder with my 2 week old bantam frizzle something’s. Right now all 4 are about the same...

Hi! I’ve got 4, 5 week old RSLs. They’ve been and still are in my LIVING ROOM. They’ve been in a brooder, and I took the heat lamp out a couple days ago. They’re about 75% feathered. And it’s 76 degrees in here. For the past 2 nights when I turn the out the light (we still have a dim lamp on)...

4 red sex links, 4 weeks old. I bought them when they were about 5 days old. (They’re loosing their fluff and growing feathers so pardon the bed head look.) They were said to be red sex links, but pictures I look at online look different than mine. Are mine girls something different or does it...

Just got these two cotton balls from a hatchery, in a bin Assorted bantam frizzles. They’re so tiny. Gomez all yellow, Morticia has some grey tint. They both have fuzzy legs and feet. Any thoughts or are they just too tiny to tell yet?

Hi! I’ve got 4 female red sex links, almost 4 weeks old. Atm they’re still in a brooder but I take them outside weather permitting. I’ve got a coop and covered run (doing my best making it predator proof). Once they’re hens and outside full time I worry for their safety. I have a huge hawk that...

Hi, newbie here. I’ve got a few 2 week old red sex link chicks. All is happy and well. Checking on my chicks in the brooder, I noticed Betty had poop on her wing. I took a baby wipe and managed to really smear it into her heathers. I took her to the sink using warm water and baby shampoo and...
