We just have two. I can't believe these coops are marketed for 4 birds. But that makes perfect sense, because the floor of the deck is so close to the top of the coop it's acting as their roof and I have to admit it looks pretty cozy up there. Adding a separate roosting area sounds like the best...

We have this coop. Which is an awful design. We moved it under our deck and fully enclosed the space for their run. The chickens will not sleep inside because the roosting area is so low. any ideas on how we could retro fit a sleeping area for them that's easier to clean than having to scrape...

Hopefully one last post about this one! Hen? Roo? We just got rid of an obvious roo who Crowed at 6 weeks old! This one acts nothing like him!

I got a new chicken that turned out to be a rooster (it was suppose to replace another suspected rooster which is now more likely a hen) but this little guys been free ranging all day and coming inside to sleep. Now, its been a few weeks that the new chickens been in this quarantine and today I...

I'm still holding out hope because at 10weeks theres only that tiny comb started and the wattles haven't grown. I was dead set on no roosters to spare the neighbors, so two weeks ago i picked up another chicken to replace this SLW if it indeed turned out to be a rooster. and then, the new...

Mine started with bright red wattles at about 3 weeks! And at 9 weeks there's only a tiny bit of comb started but the comb and face have been red since very early on! I also noticed today that there were some pretty green tail feathers on this one! Do any of your dark hens have greenish tint...

When did they start growing their wattles and combs? Do they both have different shape combs?

Are those both hens?

Not much change in size of the wattle or comb but the birds are getting huge for sure!

What do you think?!

Alright guys here's another look two weeks later on this silver laced wyandotte what do you think?

Are there any other sounds pullets make at this age that I could be confusing with a crow? This morning at 6am I heard her again but it was more of a loud clucking. Here is a picture of the comb. Definitely more red than fleshy orange. But none of my other pullets had a light comb they all...

I have a 5-6 week old Rhode Island Red that has started to make a crowing sound. I've had chicks make weird noises but this, this is a full body loud barking sound! Everyone says hens can crow, hens never crow, roosters don't crow this early, it's definitely a rooster. So who's ever had a hen...

No wonder mine looks nothing like I've seen before. It was actually labeled as an araucana. How do you feel about this 8 week old silver laced wyandotte?

This is what our "Easter egger" looks like.

Hmm interesting the lady I got it from just said that it was a black Rhode Island Red? I don't know what else it would have been bred with.

Just got this six week old black Rhode Island Red. Tiny little thing. Woke up today to the weirdest chicken sound. Them saw the comb grew overnight! Here's a picture.

Everytime my 7 week old dust bathes she acts hurt. She will walk a little then fall to the side and lay down. It's not always the same side and she's been doing it since we got her and she learned to bathe at a couple weeks old. I'll pick her up and she shakes off and is fine. I've also watched...
