So these two birdies have some feathers and are about three weeks old. They are very sad losing the down and growing feathers.
Any guesses on breed / sex. A friend of mine thought they could be turkeys and not chickens but I'm not so sure he is right.
Two views of two chickens. Both have...
I bought this for my new chicks because they were out of the Dumor brand, I got it at Tractor Supply. I will NEVER buy it again. Every chick has gotten severe pasty vent/butt from it. I have to clean them every night. My first batch of chicks never had pasty vent on Dumor feed. My mom has...
Very interesting ideas. I have always heard you should add them at night. We currently have 6 Production Reds (hybrid egg layer from Tractor Supply) and they are 10 weeks old. We just got 16 more from our 4-H council and they are not even a week old but I think around 3 to 4 weeks we are going...
Have you gone into account, and then clicked postings?
*edit* I just noticed the three line menu icon is gone and you put edit/delete right on the post. Nice!
I wonder if that guy could be a Phoenix. It's the eye liner that makes me think so with the developing back pattern and browning of his down.

I have to say I have read a lot about chickens the last few weeks. This site gets about 85-90% of my attention when I am looking stuff up. There are so many members and so many articles, posts, etc.. just filled with truly useful information. It is truly the best site for poultry / fowl related...
It has changed since we got it on Friday. It was literally just 3 little spots. It's been very interesting because it is very spunky. Very active, very loud, and very fast.
Greetings Everyone,
I have a newbie question, I have 2 chicks I received extra when I ordered chicks with my local 4H club. They order from Murray McMurray Hatchery and included were some extra chicks for 4H members who didn't have the opportunity to order chicks. They do this every year and...
Gramma Chick,
Yeah raising my coop off the ground. With 14 birds, I am figuring 4 feet per bird for the coop and about 10 feet in the run. My concerns are that 4 ft in the coop will be too cold, especially if it is raised with the wind blowing under it but we can get 2-3 ft of snow in a storm...
Greetings from The Champlain Valley. We just got into having chickens again we have 6 right now and 8 more on the way. Still working on coop and run designs. I have never done raised, but I might this time around.
She started looking good an hour or so after we got her to take the watered down apple sauce and the. She passed. Tractor Supply said they will replace her with another hen when the next shipment comes in Monday. We just wanted to do everything wecould for her. Our 6 year old is devastated over...
TSC is out of vitamins. We read on one of the other threads to try watered down apple sauce. She ate a few drops and is back asleep. I'm not real hopeful she is going to make it but I have to try and save her.
