Hi, their eggs are days apart from each other. But get along fine with each other and seem to co-parent with the chick that has hatched.. waiting on the others right now. I did find one egg that was cracked too early, not sure what happened though? Don't know if the mom did it by stepping on it...

Wow, I never seen a chicken coop design like this but I really love it!

I was thinking of getting a pair of peacocks (male and female) and was wondering if they are loud? We have neighbors close by on each side of our house and some behind. So, I dont want to get any if they are loud. Never had any before, so was wondering if they had a quieter breed?

Might be, does look like one a bit.

No feathers on his legs

We just got a rooster today and am not so great with chicken breeds, let alone rooster breeds lol. I was wondering if you guys know what breed my 4 month old Rooster is? I am thinking Barnevelder but Im not so sure. What do you guys think?
