"Thanks, that's what I was afraid of ... I think I'll just wait until next winter and start some new chicks then."

"You are kind of on the edge here. 10 weeks is really past the point of bringing in 4-weekers. It's just a size thing. Usually, I don't add new chicks unless everyone is within 2 weeks of each other and at least 2 weeks old. You could try, but I…"

"I have 4 girls that are 10 weeks old (had 5) -- I'm just starting with chickens and I'm wondering how I might (or should I) add two more -- if you can tell me how to do that safely, I'd be happy to take two -- I don''t care which ones. Thanks!…"

"Hi Kate,
Are the Andalusians and Ameraucanas sexed by any chance?"

If you or someone you know is just starting out or needs to grow their flock, I have lots of 4-week old chicks. Blue Andulusians (two that are true blue!), Red Sexlink, Black Sexlink, and Ameraucanas. I am breeding real Araucanas and I need to make…

Kate Rutz replied to Kelly Stephens's discussion Where to buy laying hens and Rachel's book? in Micro Livestock

Kate Rutz replied to Kelly's discussion Pecking Chickens....Help! in Micro Livestock
"I have been doing chickens for several years now. Once your pecking order is established, and assuming they have enough space, the pecking should go down to a level that does NOT include damage to chickens. However, in my experience RIR chickens are…"
