    Chicks First Experience Outside

    A week ago, I bought my first chickens I've had since I was 10 years old (I just turned 40). I grew up on a farm in West Texas and had cows, horses, lambs, pigs, chickens, and dogs. But now I'm stuck in the city and I decided to bring a little agriculture to my city kids (12 yr old daughter and...

    Introducing Hen To Baby Chicks

    They just keep hatching...

    My neighbor wormed her chickens and had 4 days worth of eggs she was going to toss. We took all 32 of them and put them in the incubator. I remove the chicks once theyre dry, bit they're 4 days apart, which means I have lifted the lid several times during that 3 hour DO NOT DISTURB period. Today...

I've read a lot and watched informational videos, but haven't found any information on raising baby chicks in temperatures hotter than 100 degrees. All of the info I...

    Update on bully <1 week old chick vent-pecking.

    This weekend I posted a thread about my smallest buff silkie chick very aggressively vent-pecking two of my other chicks until they had no fuzz left on their tails and their tail-tips were bloodied. Well I spent a LOT of the past weekend monitoring the chicks - whenever the bully chick went...

    Bully three day old chick - bloodying other chicks. :(

    I've got a brand new small flock of day old chickens that were shipped to me on the 5th - one White Rock and four bantam silkies. These are my first chickens ever. For the first few days it was a peaceable kingdom. I saw ZERO aggression between chicks and I sat with these birds at least an hour...

    2 poop questions - 10 days old

    Question 1) One of my chicks has poop stick under her vent...not on her vent. I keep checking to make sure she’s clear but beneath her vent. No one else in the brooder (she’s one of four) is having this issue. Should I clean it and just keep watch or should I clean it and help her in some way...

    Dark colored watery poops?

    I’ve noticed my chicks tend to have very watery poops yet they never show behaviors that suggest the cage is too hot. However today some of the poops I see have a dark yellow-brown watery urine. You can see how it stains the paper towel. It doesn’t seem to be blood as when it was wet, it was...

    Assorted chicks from mail order hatchery

    I have guesses, but I'm not sure what I have other than silkies and polish. Others were Rainbow Pack from Meyer's and Assorted Rare breeds. And then it seems Easter Egger can look many different ways so I'm very confused.

    All My Chicks Died. WTH?

    Well, this certainly sucks. I had four chicks hatch Sunday into Monday and they all died today in their brooder. Maybe someone can help me figure out what went wrong? They were shipped eggs. They all hatched on their own and were kept in the incubator for a full 24 hours. Here is where I may...
