    Odd little Aquila - thoughts?

    Hi, I’ve searched for more on this but these hybrid Aquilas seem too new for much to be out there on them either on Google on here in threads. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’m curious both from anyone with Aquilas OR with birds in their lineage (RIR, Australorps, White Rock) if you noted them staying small or...

    Pasty Butt

    I have been checking my chicks for pasty butt since I got them April 1st. They have been all good this far but today I noticed two had just a bit of poop stuck to the back downy feathers. Not on the vent or around. I cleaned them both up to prevent it from getting worse but did I really need to...

    New Chicks!

    Hello Everyone! Just wanted to share pictures of my new chicks. As I mentioned in a previous post, I have 2 chicks that I rescued a few weeks back and since we obviously can't/aren't getting rid of them, we decided to start an 'official' flock and take in 7 more. So here they are! We have: 2...

    Brooder sizing help

    We have our chicks coming April 1st. We ordered 6 EE’s and plan to get 2-4 more the same day, probably Australorps maybe split 2-2 with Plymouth Rocks. So 8-10 total. What size brooder should I use and how long are they able to stay in that size brooder. We are looking at possibly using a...

    Can I put chicks from the store under my broody when her eggs hatch???

    I have a broody and her eggs should hatch in about eleven days (hopefully they are fertilized!) A farm supply store nearby is getting chicks a day before our eggs hatch, and I wanted to get a few new breeds. Can I put the chicks under my hen at night when the other ones start hatching? Would she...

    So glad I found you - thanks for having me!

    Hi. I was lucky enough to learn a little bit about chickens at my former job where I worked at a therapeutic riding center that had chickens and sold eggs. I loved when I could help out and take care of them - trying to soak it all in - hoping we would have some one day. Fast forward some...

    I’m not so smart in some areas

    My brooding hen has been given extra eggs, fertile, by me. When they hatch will she treat her bedmates any different? Will they still be welcomed? Do I need a second coop? I’ve got three grown hens riding on your answers. Please inform me on what to expect.

    Dog crate question.

    At least one of my 2 eggs have hatched, either last night or early this morning. I have a make shift nest box with food and water inside a dog crate. I know the chicks will be able to fit through the bars. When do I take the crate away? I figure I will leave the box for sleeping since they need...

    Splayed leg?

    Is this splayed leg? I just received my box of chicks in the mail this morning. All of them seem to be doing well, even this little guy, other than his leg and having trouble moving around. He’s quite lively.. the only one who has eaten food yet.

    My littles are growing up so fast! The three big girls have met them through bars and although don’t think much of them now, they will when the 4 chicks move into the big run with them.

    New Button Quail Chicks

    I just got 10 button quail chicks 2 days ago. They had just come out of the incubator that day. I’m struggling to get them to eat and drink? I don’t know if I’m expecting them to eat and drink more than they’re going to? They’re currently just curled up together by the heat lamp not doing much...

    Okay I am VERY new to this. I got my first ever day old chicks the 1st of April, I wanted 7 chicks but two ended up being roosters so now I have 5 twelve week old pullets.

    New member intro

    Just returned to chicken raising after a gap. It all started with a turkey egg hatched at home in a box (thanks for the info to get that far). She now has a number of little friends that served as tutors for eating and drinking. She, “Giblet“ , is doing great. Unfortunately, one of the...

    Hello! My silkie hen has been broody for almost a month. I have finally sourced some silkie chicks and I am planning on getting a few and sticking them under her come nightfall. I would love advice on this process. Do I need an additional heat source in the coop? I have a radiant heat...
