    Chicken+ Guinea Update

    We've gotten addicted. It's only been a few months and I'm hopeless. Update on the Chicken Flock We got 22 new chickens. All of them are female but three, but the person who gave them to us accidentally bought full Rhode Island Reds instead of Bantams, which is definitely a problem seeing as we...

    How to vaccinate freshly hatched chicks...?

    I have a week before my incubator babies are supposed to hatch. I want to give them the best chance so I understand vaccinating can help with that. When, what, how do I vaccinate them once they hatch?

    bigger chicks picking on smaller chicks

    I have four 5 week old chicks that I got as babies. Yesterday I was picking up feed and was offered three more chicks for free with my purchase (getting older and they're trying to get rid of them I suppose). They must have looked a lot bigger in their small brooder at the store because when I...

    I have three new natural chicks

    My broody hen was insisting on sitting on unfertilized eggs so i went out to my son's ranch and grabbed a rooster. She sat on her eggs like a champ and has been a great Mom so far but I worry (I'm new to this chicken thing). I moved her from the coop with the eggs into an extra large dog kennel...

    Introducing chicks to mama hen with chicks of her own

    Hello!! I had a hen we call Georgia, she hatched two chicks about 8/10 days ago. We wanted to grow our flock and the only thing available were chicks about 4/7 days old. I purchased 7 of them and after reading I went to the coop at night and introduced them to mama Georgia. She was making a...

    Would you try to add 1 week olds to a mama with 4 week olds?

    I have a 2 yr old broody that is now a 1st time surrogate mama. Couldn’t break her broodiness for weeks and finally gave in, giving her 2 EE day-olds. 2 days later, we added two 1-week old broiler chicks and she accepted them no problem. I have chicks hatching at a breeder today that I’ll be...

    Weird clicking?

    I have 4 chicks, all the same age (3 weeks), but one is still so much smaller than the rest! And when she breathes in i can hear this weird click. It's only when she breathes in! She's progressing at a very slow rate and doesn't have nearly as many feathers as the other chick. I got them from...

    New Yellow Chicks, Ideas Welcome

    You guessed it: got them from a straight run. They are approximately less than a week old. And of course--using Chicken Math guidelines--I bought 12 instead of 4 :barnie

    Only 1 chick hatched: can I add more?

    So out of my entire incubator I only managed to hatch 1 chick. I'm on day 25 and my chick is 3 days old... That being said, my husband bought 3 chicks that look like they're probably a week old so that my baby isn't lonely. How do I introduce them together? Should I quarantine the 3 he bought...

    Introducing chicks to first time broody mom?

    We just recieved 2 chicks on Wednesday by mail from a hatchery. They were hatched on Monday. Our 4 year old Buff Orpington all of a sudden decided to go broody for the very first time on Friday! Our plan was to raise the chicks in a brooder and then introduce them to our flock of 4. Now we are...

    1 of my baby chicks is 10 days younger than the other 2, when can I introduce them?

    Hello, This is my first experience with baby chicks. My hen went broody, despite my efforts to break it she was relentless so I let her sit. I wasn’t aware that other hens would drop eggs into her nesting box until 2 weeks later. There were 4 eggs, and I then separated her from the other...

    Does anyone know what breed of Banties these are?

    This is my first clutch out of my mystery hen and roo, and these babies are just wonderful. I just don't know what breed they are... The rooster looks like the hen except with more black on the tail and wing feathers. Both of them and all the babies have single combs and four toes, with no...
