A few months back we got 8 new hens to add to the coop. They were only 5 months old. They are now 7 and should be laying pretty soon. Its fun watching them grow up.
Isn’t she pretty??? She is a White Rock pullet.
These beautiful red ones are Buff Orpington pullets.
They are very cautious with Chad in the coop with them. They are getting used to us.
We have these girls sectioned off in part of the coop. Away from the other 9 older hens we have. They will soon be all introduced and leave the two sections open together. But for now they the pullets are together till they start laying. Then we will have them with the older hens.
This cutie is our Plymouth Rock hen. She is the only black/white one we have
The all black hen is a Black Copper Maran and the black/red are actually Black Sex Link Hens.
All the older girls hanging out together.
One big happy hen family. We now have 17 girls 9 are laying and waiting on the other 8 to start. Can’t wait till they do!!
Love having back yard chickens!!

catalog is a yearly traditions in many houses. My kids and I eagerly await
the Murray McMurray Hatchery catalog. We love looking at all the cool and
different chicken breeds available. Catalogs are free so head on over to
their site and request one if you are interested.
Typically hatcheries online offer both standard breeds
and bantams. Bantams are fun hardy little chickens, they lay tiny eggs
that kids especially love collecting. Bantams typically weigh less than 2
pounds when full grown. Just like ordering anything online there are pros
and cons to ordering baby chicks online. Pros of buying baby chicks in
Albert New Mexico * Big Selection - If you are wanting a large
variety of different chicken breeds and egg colors, you will find the best
selection at an online hatchery. * Both Bantams and full sized chickens
available * You get to choose what sex you want. If you want a mixture of
both male and female then choosing a "straight run" will save you money
and you will get a mixture of male and female chicks. You can also choose
all males or all females too. * Weekly specials. Hatcheries have sales on
chicks, you are likely to get a good deal if you are flexible with the

Albert, New Mexico
Quantity - you must order a certain number of chicks. Typically hatcheries
will require you buy a minimum of 25 chicks at a time. The number is
necessary for the chicks survival during shipping. All 25 chicks are put
in one small box without heat. They are crowded in the box and produce
enough body heat to arrive in good shape. * The wait - If you choose to
buy chicks from a feed store you will have them the same day but if you
choose to go with a hatchery you have to wait until they are ready to ship
and then wait for the chicks to arrive. Ordering baby chicks online in
Albert New Mexico is easy and has always been a very pleasant
experience of me. It can be a little frustrating waiting for the chicks
but it's so worth the wait. When the post office calls and you hear all
those little "cheeps" or "chirps" in the background you'll know the wait
was worth it! How to Care for your new baby chickens in Albert,
New Mexico Baby chicks are really
cute and also
challenging to stand up to,
but it's finest to plan for their
arrival prior to you obtain them. Prepare first
by collecting not just the
correct products, but
likewise the correct
knowledge to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is reasonably
basic, you simply should give them with the following: A
clean as well as cozy
habitat Plenty of food and also water Interest as well as
love Environment Your habitat could be a straightforward box, aquarium,
cat carrier, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels and
coverings (with no loosened
strings!) to begin, as well as after a
couple of weeks utilize straw over newspaper.
Keep in mind: Avoid using only
paper or various other slipper
surfaces-- or your chicks legs can grow
malformed. You also need
something to serve up food and
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
dish from the feed store, or a pickle container
lid for food and also a pet dog bird water dispenser from a
pet dog store. Additionally, as the chicks grow older you could introduce a perch
right into the habitat to get them
trained on perching. Heat To
maintain your chicks heat you have to
provide them with a heat resource.
This could be as easy as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style lamp from a
hardware shop, or an infrared reptile warmth
light bulb additionally work effectively (my
referral). Chicks require this
heat 24/7 until their downy fluff is
replaced with feathers (which could occupy to 2 months). The recently
hatched need a temperature level
between 90 as well as 100 degrees,
as well as weekly this could
be minimized by
about 5 levels or
so. The warmth resource need to get on simply one side of the cage
to permit chicks a variety of
temperatures. The chicks are your best
thermostat- if they are concealing in the
other corner of your warmth
lamp, you should
minimize the temperature. If
they are surrounding each other under the
heat (not simply curling up),
you should add some heat.
Home cleaning
Tidiness is crucial and also it maintains your chicks healthy and
balanced. Make certain to alter
the bed linen
often as well as
always provide tidy
food and also water Food as well as water.
Chicks expand quite quick
which calls for a lot of tidy
food and water. Supply
enough whatsoever times as well
as check
often to
stop parched and
starving chicks. Chick food is different compared
to adult chicken food, and it can be found in both medicated and non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
first 2 months, after that
switch to a raiser food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for an additional 2 months,
and afterwards to a somewhat
lower healthy protein feed or a level feed
(if you have layers). Dirt Some chicks want
to obtain a running start on taking
filth baths, while others will not occupy that task till they are
older. If you have the space in your chick
room, introduce a tray of sand or
dirt for them to bathe in.
Attention and love There are a
few advantages to hanging
out with your chicks. Firstly, they will more than likely bond with you and also
not flee as adults. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily and
watch their actions, you can
capture disease or various
other problems earlier. Keep an
eye out for wheezing, limping, or
various other undesirable
indicators. Be sure to
additionally take a look at
their poop, as looseness of the bowels can result in matted plumes as well
as blocked cloaca.
Lastly, it is necessary to watch out for social concerns, such as the
tiniest chick obtaining picked
on. Vacant nest syndrome So your
chicks are currently fully feathery
and its time for them to leave the
safety and security of your house
as well as relocate outside into a
coop. Take a look at our
section on chicken coops to find out
more
regarding cages as well as
proper coop habitats.
