Hatchery vs. Local Feed Store
I have to say that if you can afford it, do both. I have ordered from Murray Mcmurray in the past and only once did the entire shipment of chics die. In the past a few have died during transit but never all. They were good about sending a free order without questions. I highly recommend Murray...- Aleks

Concerned about weather.
There's lots of good advice on this site and on this thread. I just wanted to share that last month we had a cold snap, for several weeks it dipped down into the negative digits at night. We didn't get much wind so there was no wind chill (Reno, Nevada). Earlier this Spring I had built a shelter... -

Ivan has such a motley of color, I really like him. You did a really good job on taking those pictures, I have such a hard time because my flock is so big they scatter most of the time. But more importantly what beautiful birds you have!- Aleks

butchering roosters

I think anyone with questions about how to process a chicken will find those sources helpful. As for myself, I just started my "chicken farm". My first...- Aleks

Rooster??
Yes he can breed with them. I have RIR, Buff Orps and Cucu Marans with some Auracana Bantams. Well, I only have Bantam roosters at this time and I bought an incubator for the mixed fertilized eggs. So my bantam Auracana roosters have fertilized the eggs of the big hens. I have to admit it was...- Aleks

Hatching and raising chicks in the house
They are doing very well. I am anxious to get them outside so they can see the "real world"...Right they play really hard, eat and sleep. It's great! I'm gonna miss having them in the house. Sometimes I sit and watch 'em.- Aleks

Hatching and raising chicks in the house
Oh I forgot...Donrae is right. I am feeding mine medicated chick feed for the first few months. Then I'll start giving them what everyone else gets. I'm not sure how important medicated is, but they definitely need chick starter/feed. Also when they are really small, you wanna make sure the...- Aleks

Hatching and raising chicks in the house
That's great what you are doing JJdent. What you are doing should work out fine. I have been doing the same thing for quite some time. I have a cage out in the garage I usually raise the chicks in before I put them with the rest in the main coops (I have a double roomed coop). This year it has...- Aleks
