I ordered 40 cornish cross from Tractor Supply (Hoover's Hatchery). This is our 4th time raising meat chicks and we've always ordered this way. This time 2 were DOA and 3 more within 48 hours. They were in the mail way too long and they mailed them out right during a cold snap. However, I've...

Thanks for the replies and advice! The power came back on around 1pm and it turned out they were okay with the brooder in the house by a sunny window. Someone on Facebook recommend I use hot water bottles if needed which probably would have been the easiest thing for me to have done if I needed...

I just woke up and the power is out. We don’t have a generator. I don’t know how long it’s been out. We have 6 2-week old chicks that we use a heat lamp with. They seem comfy right now but what do i do if the power stays out and they start to get cold?

Old post but I thought you all might like an update: SHE started laying this week and her eggs are green!

I'm very familiar with Leicester! Cool to know so many locals to me are on here!

My current avatar is also the same bird from a few days ago:

Hi there, I'm new to chickens and this website...I'm not sure if these pictures are at the right angle or enough to tell but I got 4 pullets and I am nervous one may be a cockerel...it's bigger than the others, I think has a slightly larger comb, and acts differently. It's also possible it's...

Update: The birds are warming up to me more and more each day. Mealworms really helped, they will eat them right out of my hand. Thank you all so much for the tips!

@Mrs. K Yea that’s exactly what’s happening! I will try the box trick! @Roo5 mine are only 6 weeks. I wouldn’t call them mean, just scared. I’m also not very patient so it’s tough! But I’m a first time chicken owner and We wanted to start with pullets ready for the coop because the thought of...

Thank you, this is so helpful!! Everyone on other threads says be patient...but I'm not a very patient person so the idea that I will do this and hopefully see results in 2 weeks helps! Even today they got a littleeeee bit closer to me so I think they will get there. Do you have any tips for...

Definitely going to try this!

Hmm...I've seen the mealworm snacks at the Ag store but not the live ones..I will have to ask!

They don't like me enough yet for me to take good pictures haha... so far the best I've got is my profile picture on here. This is the only one with all 4 of them so far.

So cool! We live directly in between Asheville and Brevard!

Hi there! I've been reading for weeks but this is my first day posting to the forum and only my second day of having my own chickens! Please forgive me if I have posted in the wrong section. I have read a lot on the forum about taming my chickens so that they will come to me and even though...

Hi! I'm Rachel. My husband, Nick, and I live on about 2 acres in the woods in the mountains of North Carolina. We have been planning to get chickens since we moved in a year ago and yesterday we finally got 4 6-week-old Whiting True Greens and Whiting True Blues! This is my first time ever...
