I hatched chickens for the first time 10 weeks ago. My pullet to cockerel ratio was pretty good! 4 cockerels to 8 pullets. I am keeping all the pullets from the batch but not the cockerels. I have been trying to sell them since I have known they are cockerels and there has been no interest at...

Today while I was collecting seeds from my Cauliflower seed pods I was thinking about the seed pods opening up on their own when I wasn't around, and that got me thinking even more.. What if I made a garden section where I left the plants, partially, to their own devices. I would still water...

‼️ DISCLAIMER ‼️ Before I begin to state my opinion and what I think could be done to fix the problem I am assessing, I want to give some disclaimers: 1. I am not a vegan, so I am not one of the vegans that belittle people for doing things with animals (Not all vegans are like that!) 2. I am not...

We hear so much about hens and chicks on here, let's give our roosters the spotlight they deserve! Roosters are very interesting creatures. They are so stoic and gorgeous but can be so dorky sometimes. They can also be big and strong but have a soft, sweet side. Let's share stories and/or...

I have 4 roosters/cockerels that are almost 10 weeks old. My intentions are to tell them. What age do most people prefer to buy roosters? Do they want to buy them as little chicks, around the age of mine, or as full aged breeding males? I want to know if they are less likely to be bought as...

I have 3 chicks from my first batch of chicks I ever hatched. They are barnyard mixes. Three of them all have the same general coloration, and they are all pullets as far as I can tell at the moment. They are all 9 weeks old now. The father is 100% a Buckeye because that was the only...

Today I was cleaning my chicken coop and watching my 9 week old chicks explore. As I was watching them, one of my 9 week old Buff Orpington cockerels seemed to try and mate with one of the 9 week old Buff Orpington pullets. He tried it twice. What I saw was him grab the back of her neck with...

I have 4 roosters that are 9 weeks old. They are $7 each. PM if interested. I am located in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, but buyers do not have to be in the DFW area. We can find a location in between our locations to meet. I have: 2 Black Copper Maran/Buckeye Mixes, attached below. A...

Hello, I have a 9 week old pullet that I can't identify the mother of. A while back I was told that all of my black chicks had Black Copper Marans as mothers but she has markings that makes me think her mother may be a Silver Laced Wyandotte. I know the breed of the rooster, he is a Buckeye...

I plan on doing some breeding flocks of different chicken breeds to sell. Have one rooster with however many hens I feel should be in the breeding pens. I have been looking into desirable and popular chicken breeds in the US, as well as endangered/rare breeds and I have found many articles om...

I have four Barnyard Mix cockerels for sale. I am hoping to find new homes for these cockerels because I cannot keep any more roosters. The first cockerel is a Speckled Sussex hen/Buckeye rooster mix. The second and third are Black Copper Maran hen/Buckeye rooster mix. (The second rooster is...

Today I opened the chicks caged area in the coop and left a small opening for the chicks to slip in and out of. The opening is not big enough for the adults to get through. I have seen the chicks using it. I watched the flock for a while and the only chicken that has "attacked" the chicks is my...

I do not know if this is the correct forum for this post, but I felt that it may suit my questions. I want to sell chicks, but I also do not want to hatch chicks expecting them to sell and then be over-run by baby chickens that I cannot sell and cannot keep. So my questions are, how can I get...

I was wondering if a mix breed pullet's eggs are determined by the genetics of her mother or her father, or if it is random. For example, I have some chicks that are a mix of a Buckeye (Father) and a Black Copper Maran (Mother) so I was wondering if the hens would lay light brown eggs like a...
