  1. 🐣Chick Raising Forum🐥
    Hello! I am new to raising chicks and I am curious about a few things related to adding them to my current 3 hens. We currently have 6 chicks that are about 2or3 weeks old being kept in a stock tank brooder. How long will they need the heater? And when should I be moving them outside to the...

    Just wanted to update y'all on my chick-raising ventures! It's been forever since I've posted on here. My cochin (mix?) hen finally hatched some biddies a couple of weeks ago. There are three: two blues, and one lighter-colored biddy...possibly lavender; I'm not sure. The father is a silkie...

    Looking for multipurpose birds; meat and eggs. Prefer: Easter or olive egger, copper. I also prefer someone in Arkansas, so I can pick up instead of having them shipped. However, if you're not in Arkansas, we can still make it happen!

    Just started raising my first flock and one of them has started demonstrating a lot of bold qualities. She always tries new things first and helps the other chicks (which I love), but she keeps trying to do things that aren’t safe fire her to and I have to run after her. Is there any way to help...

    I got two satin chicks yesterday, and a blue silkie rooster. I forget how old the chicks are exactly but they're only a few days old. I'll be posting pics here as they grow! There they are in the brooder. It was 37 F this morning. 😱 Lucky, they're okay! I don't have a heat lamp so I used...

    I'm thinking about ordering some Sebright chicks. I've been reading that they have a low survival rate, so I should probably get more than I would any other bird. How many do y'all think I should get to ensure some survive? I'm fine with 2-3 but will keep all that make it. Thanks in advance.

    My girl, Cleo hatched two little chicks a few days ago. She's still sitting on two but I doubt they'll hatch. They are an off-white color and they both have a black spot. I'll try to get some pictures tomorrow.

    I recently got into chickens and I got 6 of them about 4 months ago. 5 hens and 1 rooster. They are doing great btw. A family member thought I needed more to go in the large coop I built so about 4 weeks ago I inherited 4 babies. So they are roughly 4 month apart. I have had the babies outside...

    Hi everyone, we just lost nine of our precious birds(eight chickens, one duck) due to neglectful pet sitters while away for four days. My mother was very attached to them, and I want to do something nice for her. I was wondering if anyone has good recommendations or websites of services that...

    Hi all, I have a broody Silkie who has been sitting on some fertilised Silkie eggs I bought, and day 21 is coming up this weekend. She is now in her own section of the coop with her own food and water. My question is, I've heard that sometimes Silkie chicks can get tangled in their Mother's...

    We are brand-new to raising chickens for egg laying. We are expecting our baby chicks in the mail in the next day or two. As the temperature is expected to rise to 100+ soon here in Texas, I was wondering about having the brooder in our newly-finished coop as we have limited space inside the...

    We are getting ready to move the chicks feom their brooder to outside, but my husband and I keep reading conflicting information on the "how to". Some resources say to start in the run. Start by 1 hour the first day, 2 hours the next day and so on and then open the coop and they will wonder...

    I came home 3 days ago and a Red Legged Partridge was 'waiting' outside our duck pen. She had about 10 chicks with her. They were so tiny. I think they were hatched the same day. Then I left them alone. Today we came home to find her outside out back door and she all the chicks under her wings...

    I love to incubate, I would run them all year if I could get rid of the birds I hatch. I live in Idaho and notice that to move any birds I have to either trade them or give them away. Even then it's hard to get takers. :confused: Where are you from and how is the bird market in your area?
