I have a 10 / 11 month old peahen I need to transport about an hour away. What would be the less stressful / safest way to do this? I can use a wire/metal type dog cage, a hard plastic type dog crate (see pics) or a large cardboard box or is there something better I can use that I'm just not...

My peahen is 9 months old & lives in a run/coop with my chickens. The coop is a converted shed with multiple levels of roosts. All my chickens sleep on a roost but my peahen prefers to sleep on the floor...she use to roost but maybe the past month or so she seems to prefer the floor...at bed...

I purchased this Cuckoo Marans & Speckled Sussex on Sunday as sexed pullets. They are around 2 months old...but now I'm wondering if my pullet is not a pullet as pictures I've seen could point to roo :*( What do you guys think?

I picked up 2 six week old pullets last night at a chicken seminar/workshop...one has loose runny orangy poop...should I treat for Cocci or could it just be from stress? I put electrolytes in water this morning

My run is a muddy mess! Don't want to put down hay, afraid it will get too wet and moldy. I have a friend who can get me free wood chips to put down....if I do this I will probably keep them down year round as my run is quite large & it would be way too hard to get them all removed later...is...

So I've read cuckoo marans chicks are sex linked...does that carry over if they are mixed breed? I'm getting eggs to incubate ... mom is a cuckoo marans and dad is a silkie (i think partridge coloring... if his coloring maters I'll find out definitely) when they hatch will they be sex linked?

So this little one is a single hatch & supposed to be from all splash pen (but obviously not). This little blue marans is 8 weeks old. I thought for sure boy when it grew tiny wattles and has a pink comb at 4 weeks old but now 4 weeks later they haven't grown or gotten any redder. What do all...
