    Waiting on a quack!

    We love this sweet Ancona but are still unsure on gender! He/she is 11 weeks old. No quacking-- still peeping like a duckling? Is this normal? No drake feather- any other ways to tell. We're 99% sure the welsh harlequin buddy is a drake!

    How many chickens in this coop/run?

    I have an 8x6 coop and a 15x15 run. How many chickens would you think would comfortably fit in here and stay warm in the winter. I have 16 chicks right now (5 bantams and 11 standards) but have a feeling I need to sell a few as they are getting bigger but I want them to stay warm this winter. As...

    Barred Rocks and Cuckoo Marans

    Any way to tell apart these chicks? I have chicks hatched a few days ago and should have a few of each but they all look the same to me-- black with little spots on their heads! Also the Speckled Sussex and the RIR's? Any tips for distinguishing the two would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    uh oh! Off the nest for awhile --now back on?! What to do?

    So the hen is hatching about 10 eggs and has been sitting dutifully for 2 weeks. She is in the coop with the others and no one has been bothering her. She gets off about every other day to get food and water. Today she got off and when I got home from work she was in the wrong nest box sitting...

    Polish Problems!

    I have 1 White-Crested Blue Polish who really cannot see a thing! She heads out with the rest of the flock to free-range but then gets lost from the others. Last night she didn't make it back to the coop. We looked everywhere for her but didn't find her --she has gone missing before and is very...

    Polish--16 weeks. Are those saddle feathers I see??

    hmmm Ok, these feathers aren't pointy but they are taking on a "saddle" like appearance? Not much on the comb/wattle scene yet --so I'm hoping she just has some long feathers? Maybe?

    I *think* I am a Welsummer?? What do you think?

    Ok this sweet chick came from MPC. It was a chipmunk colored chick and I narrowed it down to a Speckled Sussex, Brown Leghorn or Welsummer. I have to admit, I was crossing my fingers for a Welsummer and even named her Toby (short for Toblerone) in anticipation of chocolate-colored eggs! As luck...

    Is this a Welsummer and a Dominique?

    Ok I am thinking I have a Welsummer and a Dominique --but not positive! These came from MPC's assorted standards. Thanks Options for this little lady are: Welsummer, Speckled Sussex or Brown Leghorn. I'm leaning toward Welsummer but again --not sure! Would love any help! And I think this...
