Good morning all! Well...our rooster, Bob, is just doing his job as a rooster, I guess, but he has become too aggressive and needs to go. For the first year, he was a great rooster. He was nice and gentle and you could pick him up and everything. In his second year, he became more...

Hi there! I have been reading all weekend and just don't know what to do, but I'm leaning toward cleaning out the coop and changing foods. Bob is our 1 year rooster. I believe he is a barred rock and quite beautiful. We noticed that he stopped crowing this weekend and sounded like he...

We ten birds - one leghorn, 2 Plymouth rocks, 3 Rhode Island reds, 2 Easter eggers, a lavendar orpington, and one barred rock rooster. They are all about 9 months old and prior to winter setting in, we were getting 7 - 8 eggs a day. Once winter set in and the time changed, we are getting 2 - 3...

Houdini, is one of our barred rock hens. She is also the one that had wry neck back in early August. We were able to nurse her back to health with the help of some great people here! Flash forward to last week...we noticed that she was holding her neck funny again so we isolated her for a...

Well, Bob, our 4 month old Plymouth Rock has definitely discovered his voice! He crows all the time. It doesn't matter the time except once it is dark, he quits (thankfully). My family personally doesn't mind the sound, we kind of like it, but we fear our neighbors will complain and we really...

The girls took to the new automatic feeder really quickly. We didn't have to show them anything. Before my husband got out of the run from installing it, they were already using it.

We will be finishing our coop up to hopefully have the chicks out of the brooder (and our bedroom) and into the coop by June 1st. We want to paint the inside of the coop white to add light and to make it easier for cleaning. Is there a type of paint that is better than others for the...

Hi there! We have 8 chicks that are about 3 - 4 weeks old. We have one Leghorn, 3 Plymouth Rocks and 4 RIRs. They have all been together from the beginning. Tomorrow, we may be getting 2 Easter Eggs and 1 Black Astralorp. I don't know how old they are yet, but I know they are younger than...

Good morning all! I have been reading the site for a bit now and wanted to join. We have 8 babies since this past Sunday. We have 4 RIR, 3 Plymouth Rock and 1 Leghorn. The Leghorn is 2 weeks old and the others are a week old. I can already see how addictive this is and am holding off on...
