I'd appreciate any helping sexing this one. I can't tell if those neck feathers are pointy...and others Reds over had didn't have dark feathers at all.

I have 15 birds born in early March in my main coop and run. 2 months after I got them I got another 5. They are in a smaller satellite coop without access to the big run. Currently they are about half the size of the big girls but are outgrowing their small coop. They've been able to see...

That is incredibly cool!

While I'm new to chickens and they haven't started laying yet, I love the 3 white leghorns in my flock of 15. They are the most curious, least fearful, and generally the sweetest of my hens. I'd read that they can be flighty or standoffish. From day one they were the easiest of the brood...

Ya! Just got 4 more chicks and a smaller coop that I'll use to rear them until they can be big enough to integrate. One of each...Blue Wyandotte, Blue Andalusian, Russian Orloff, and Buckeye. They are all snuggled up in the brooder for their first night!

In process of converting rain barrel to gravity fed watering system for chicken run. Like the title of the thread, how high should I mount the nipples? My birds are about 6 weeks old and getting water in the coop but I'd like them to have access to water outside with summer coming on and want...

It does look like a pea comb.I can barely make out what looks like two smaller rows outside the larger center row. Reddish...but small. I can't get close enough to really examine. This bird is the wariest of the bunch.

This guy/gal was sold as an Araucana, but I thought those are supposed to be rumpless? She/he does have little tufts on the cheeks. Sorry for the bad pic. It won't hold still for a pic, nor can I manage to catch it. It has started to develop a small red comb and is acting the most...
