Since this chick was a surprise we warm up 3 bags of water and put towels on top so the bags stay warm throughout the night. But today I went to a massage and a small errand for...

    Chick is significantly smaller than the others!

    I have 2 chick from someone who has no info on them. One has scissor beak and what I think could be wry neck. She is about 1/2 the size of the one she care with. And seems to need ‘mom’ more. I put her in my bag so she can feel as though she is being sat on by mom. The other chick is with...

    New mama to new Cleveland City Chickens

    i live nearly smack in the center of the CLE and I love it, but I never thought that I would be able to have my own chicks while I lived in the city. Then I bought a house in a Latino community and there were city chickens all over the place. Beautiful homes and yards, lots of laughing kids and...

    Hi, I'm new

    I"m Hannan, and a couple weeks ago, my family bought six new chicks, three black sex links (mine to care for) and three yellow chicks that I forgot which species they are, but my sister, who's in charge of those, probably remembers. They're all hens, because we don't have a large enough estate...

    Any incubator tips out there?

    I'm hatching my first batch of eggs. I put 13 in the incubator (2 not fertilized...removing today) and I'm using Little Giant still air incubator 9300. I am super insecure that I'm doing this right. The instructions said to set temp at 103.5, but that seemed super high and nothing I read out...
