    Constantly hear baby chicks chirping non stop!

    Please someone help, the chicks aren’t getting along and the mother hen doesn’t let all four chicks underneath and we don’t have a heat lamp for the chicks. Really worried for the health of these chicks but my mum doesn’t understand that they need this lamp!:(

    Juniper and her babies

    Juniper, our Olive Egger, really wanted to become a mother so on Saturday I bought 4 baby chicks from our local feed store. 2 Red Sex Links, 1 Barred Rock, and 1 Black Australorp. We actually got the Black Australorp by mistake because they were in with the Barred Rocks but I love it already...

    Adopting chicks to a mother hen

    Hen lost baby, can we replace?

We took the egg/baby away but the hen is still sitting on the nest as if to be waiting for her baby to hatch. We happen to have chicks that we hatch via incubation...

    Becky the Baby (a silly story, with pics)

    So I have two Brown Leghorn hens from the same clutch, that I named Becky and Bailey. They were almost identical as chicks, the only difference being the mark around their eyes. This is Becky- she has a sort of winged eye liner marking. (my friend called her "becky with the good eye liner"...

    Unique Introduction

    So a couple weeks back we bought a mother hen and six chicks, unfortunately she only accepted four of them (only the ones the same color as her; four were black, the other two were yellow, is this unusual?) and the other two didn't make it. Anyway, at this point the chicks are at least a month...
