Well that's good to know. I could not figure out what he was. He was a brown chick with no markings and was thrown in as a free chick so it's always fun trying to figure out what you have. Everything I looked up, didn't match him as a chick so the closest I could figure out was a Bielefelder. I...

Does it have a name on it I could look up? My friend has a great one but the name is no longer on it.

I live in Arizona and would like to add a solar fan to our coop. Last year we used an old box fan just to keep the air moving and they seemed to enjoy it. Didn't last long so we got a small solar fan off Amazon just to see. It seemed to work well but it rained and killed it so it obviously was...

He was jet black as a chick but does look like her.

I have 2 chickens that I am 99% sure they are both roosters. The barred looking one is a bantam we got for free and I am guessing is a Bielefelder? I have no idea what the black one is. Came out of the rare breed bin and does not look like any of the breeds that was listed on the card. They are...

Me too! I specifically picked a Barred Rock because most of the time a small dot on the head is a hen but apparently this one was a fake! Haha. So far no bites sadly. Thanks though!

4 months old Barred Rock Roo looking for new coop in Yuma, AZ. Still friendly. Possibly blind in 1 eye due to injury as a chick but fine otherwise. We only have 2 hens so he gets a little bit excited and needs more ladies. Thought I would post him here first.

Well now I have an excuse to get ice cream... its for a good deed. :)

It lasts awhile before breaking? I can't be eating ice cream all the time for chicken ice. Haha.

That's what I do but sometimes that 2 seconds seems like forever. Especially since in the morning sometimes I'm running around like a freak trying to get out the door. Hehe!

I've used those but they break after some time. I'd like something that will last quite some time before it dies. I have never used silicone anything so I wasn't sure how it would work? I tried searching the forum before posting but I didn't find anything about what people thought worked best.

Does anyone have a great mold for ice treats for our amazingly cool state? I have a metal bundt cake pan and I hang the ice in their run but it is sort of hard to get out of the pan sometimes. Would a silicone one work better? I had an amazing Ikea thick plastic bin/container/no idea what it is...

We have had a few that became pretty mean but we have got lucky with a few.

I thought the barring was getting bigger and more white. I haven't had any barred rocks for 4 years and no others to compare too. Thanks everyone! I figured it was a Roo and was hoping it wasn't and I just thought maaaaaybe I was missing something. Haha.

Awe bean butts. So cute! We do have plans for Roos unfortunately... 😭
