My newest flock additions are 10weeks old now. Everything quite normal, they've been in my very dry brooder room with attached little outdoor run. Diet is only All flock crumble, nothing else. I have not treated with Corid as I have not seen any signs of Coccidiosis. But my cute little blue...

It's a color not breed, but I'd love to see pictures at any age of other Lavender Wyandotte's. This is my first, Lilikoi, now 4 weeks. I'm so curious as to what the big differences between Lavender Orpington and Lavender Wyandotte will be. Easier to guess sex at an earlier age or just as tough...

I want to reign myself in a little this year. In years gone by with new baby chicks I find myself sometimes using nothing short of 5 different bedding types: Combo's of: papertowels, old cotton t-shirts, pine shavings, flock fresh, timothy hay, hemp. I swear I can't seem to standardize on any...

If ever there was test, my sweet Feral kitty that lived adjacent to my chicken coop died 2 weeks ago. She was old, I think it was natural and she lived her best life. So what do I see this morning.... Whether it was a mice or rat I'm not sure, but it for sure was feasting on some spilled feed...

On the map my property is a pizza slice with the crust end as River frontage. So it's nice to have that much River view but my soil is just pure sand, medium bank. Add to that fir tree canopy and I feel like I couldn't be in a more challenging place to garden. Between the house and River I do...

There is a chance I'm allergic according to a nurse, last time I was stung about 10years ago. SO NOW I have a real issue here. In ground nest up against a raised bed. I had a pile of branches next to it that I've been slowly, carefully removing so that I can totally expose the in-ground hole to...

I've just never had one trying to be a momma this young. She just started laying in July..... ugh.

This morning my boyfriend asked "Hey, I heard you talking about chicken math to the kids, I mean what exactly IS chicken math?" I answered, Oh bless your little heart, could you be any cuter? You know how incredibly sad you were when we lost 2 hens over the winter (old age,) and you know how...

My coop is solid, it's a bomb proof building, nothing is getting inside after lock up. But I can tell that at night, something is messing around inside my run which is a 6ft. chain link dog kennel partially covered. It's clearly used a wood pile I had temporarily leaning against the chain link...

I have 3 articles where I can't seem to set the Cover Image on my 2 really old articles. They're just my first coop in member pages and small coops but I got feedback on my 3rd article about how my current coop didn't have enough information. I can simply refer to the 2 old articles but it'd be...

After 20years of actually bragging about how I've never had Predator issues it did happen night before last. It's all my fault too, I got busy with Easter dinner and decided "I never have issues so I'll just leave the door open (I typically close the kennel door after they go into the coop to...

It's that time.... This is just one chick. Lavender Orps are just tough..... Guess's appreciated! :confused::confused:

Poor little Buff is lethargic, seems cold, puffed up. She is in with 4 others same age and they seem fine. I moved them a few days ago from brooder to their own room in coop away from Big's. They've from Priviett, on Medicated starter, Merek vacc but not Coccyvac. I started Corid in water for...

I add babies every couple years, have been for 20years. I have NEVER let my chick brooder get hotter than about 85* and that's just day 1 through 5. After than it's around 75-80. It just seems way to hot to start at 100. Yet everything you read as a newbie says start at 100*.... I just don't...

9 hens, only 1 Olive Egger is laying. Granted 3 have not started yet (EE's,) should be soon. But the other 6.... 3 are 2years and went through a fall molt but have recovered ~ and 3 just started laying this summer and now 2(CCL's) have stopped as of a few weeks ago! Ugh. I've been supplementing...

These 3 should be 6 weeks. They should be pullets = 2 Creme Legbar, 1 Olive Egger. But... first question... Does #1 look like a Pullet or Cockeral? And second question.... Look a the size difference between #2 and #3 ??? I don't understand. What explains this? Not really the same age or_______...

I'm curious as to what others will think of the fact that I take baby chicks from their farm store heat lamp temp of around 90 to my brooder where it is 75.... I DO have a "mommy hut" where the heating pad provides a warmer place (not at all sure what the temp is under there.) But they spend an...

Does anyone know what kind of comb this is? Have you seen it before ? She's about 14weeks... I cant seem to match it up to Rose or Pea... I'm confused...

I've been doing a slow integration between 3 laying 6mo old Hens and 2 pullets 12weeks. Thankfully I have chain link run pieces that I used to split my run in half. I used an old greenhouse for the newbies so I have 2 complete coop/run set ups. So the see no touch period was about 3 weeks. Then...

Now that they're around 12weeks I'm hoping you can help me guess breed of the Blue-ish one...?? When they were younger a few people thought maybe Blue Orpington but the pics I've seen of Blue's, they have red crowns and her's is really dark, sort of blackish.... Any guesses? It doesn't matter...
