My feed store had chicks and ducklings today and I picked up a few. I got a sex link and this mystery bantam chick that was being trampled by pekins. Anyways, the cute little thing had no breed, the store didn't know it either. It's a light grey/blue with dark grey starting feathers. Clean...

Hi everyone! I'm going to try and get ahold of a chick or two and unfortunately the minimum order for me is 5 :( So I'm hoping that maybe someone or a few someones who would like a few chicks would be interested in a group order. I live in Yulee right outside of Jacksonville Florida. If you're...

Hi guys. Well, I'm counting down the days till chick day at the local feed stores. My parents told me I could get two chicks at that time. I am hoping to get D'Uccle chicks but, I need some help. Does anyone have some clues or tips to help me pick out D'Uccle pullet chicks? Some pics would be...

Well, it's been a long time since I've been here and after 5 months without chickens I can finally get more. My last four were rehomed to a family that lost their home to a fire. This time I am only getting 2-3 and I want to try and avoid the mistakes I made and innovate a little. My first...

I have just got ahold if a new white silkie hen. However, she has a few features that I'm unsure of. One is that when I put her on grass she practically freezes, the other is that some of her feathers, especially in her neck are a very fine buff color. Can anyone explain these?

I have a pair of cockatiels for pick up only. The yellow headed one in the back is a male named Houston. He's not hand tamed but, he does know a few whistles that are pretty cute. I'm sure he could be tamed easily. The silver one is a female named Amelia after the island we live on. She is...

My babies survived their first night outside. I worried about the cold temps, the alligator in my back yard and the neighborhood HOA hawks. But all was just fine and they're loving their new home, much bigger than a fishtank.

Today I was trying out different treats to see which ones my 3 liked best. It was a no for yogurt, carrot, grape, tomatoe and green beans. BUT, they love reeses puffs

I know they're not very old yet but, today I took my 3 chickies to the beach. It was a nice sunny day and I made a little sand castle around an area for them. They were a bit clueless until the 'Smart One' figured out what sand was for. Dust Baths! : D, they went insane rolling around in sand...

So today after a horrible math class, I come home to my family and boyfriend singing happy birthday. I'm finally 19 and I have the chocolate covered strawberries to prove it. Well, the other great thing is, as soon as they were done singing, the mail man showed up. In his hand was a box with my...

Does anyone have pictures of their chickens from MPC? Specifically Orpingtons, Australorps and Barnevelders would be nice.

I placed an order with MyPetChicken today for 1 orpington, 1 australorp and 1 double laced barnvelder. I'm nervous , but excited : D

So, I finally talked my mom into letting me get chickens. She said I could have 3 max and didn't care what I did so long as SHE didn't have to be taking care of them. No problem : D. So, now I'm wondering, what should I use for a brooder and supplies? There is a feed store about 30 minutes away...

Does anyone know if the compiled price includes the shipping or does it not? (Say if I have a 30 dollar order is that it or is there also a shipping charge to add to that)

Do people who can't keep roosters ever take their hens to a farm or something that does have a rooster for the purpoes of ferilization?

I have a saltwater fish tank, 40 gallons, with tons of stuff. Some I bought, some I didn't but, that's how it goes with saltwater. I have a clownfish, 2 green chromis, 1 starry blenny, 1 royal gramma, 1 dwarf angel and a 6 lined wrasse. I also have 3 peppermint shrimp, 1 scarlet cleaner shrimp...

So I'm working on the coop using the ideas that people and my dad have given me. I am wondering though, how effective would an air soft gun(a pretty strong one) be against raccoons or hawks or ect? My brother said it's about the same power as the paint ball gun he uses and said I could have it...

Okey doke well, before getting chicks and what not, I'd like to make sure they wont get eaten. Since I live in Florida hawks like Ospreys, redtailed and kites and various other hawks and falcons are here. Also, there are raccoons around all the time here as well as opposums. It doesn't help that...

So, I got a reply from my city manager and mom finally and the answer is yes : D hurays. Now I'm wondering, what kind of chickens should I get? I'd like some that lay a good number of eggs but, not like commercial rate or anything. And something that is calm and would make a good pet. I can...

Ok so, the law on fowl and other farm type animals is that they are prohibited unless you get a permit from the city manager which you have to request. Any advice on how to go about this? Should it be e-mail or hand written? What all should I mention or say exactly and is there a format I should...
