I am looking for tips and advice on how to keep my chick's water cold. I've got 5 10-week old chicks, and I use a rain barrel water system with PVC pipe and water cups running into my chicken coop- it's a small TSC coop if that makes any difference. Right now, I've just been buying bags of ice...

I'm debating on what the best type of flooring to put in my chicken run. It was grass at first, but I was worried about it getting muddy. I'm in the Southampton, VA area and while we don't get much snow, it gets pretty rainy, and temps right now for spring range from lows in the 30s to anywhere...

😅😬 it's me again, hi all! I posted about the same chick when she was 2 weeks old, now she's 4 weeks old, and her feathers still baffle me. This time I came out to see that something weird was going on with the feathers around her neck. They have a brooder plate in their coop that stays on the...

I posted about this in the new members forum, but I wanted to post this in the most appropriate place for the full advice effect. I've never owned chicks or any birds before. I bought week old chicks (3 Rhode Island Reds and 3 ISA Browns) 5 days ago from Tractor Supply. Everyone was doing great...

Hi everyone! I'm new here and very new to being a chicken mom! I just got my first flock of 6 chicks a few days ago from Tractor Supply. I was told they were about a week old, so they're 1 wk 5 days old today. I chose 3 Rhode Island Reds and 3 ISA Browns for their temperament, personalities...
