Hello, I have a question about Bantam Cochin cockerels with LF Cochin hens. This year has been a beast as far as hatching, getting chicks, etc… because of this I’m going to end up with 3 LF cochin pullets. A cousin who I gave some beautiful well-bred chicks to reached out to see if I would take...

How much for shipping a breeding trio?

If you are on Facebook I know that Deb Don McCullers in Georgia is breeding them and may have eggs.

The youngest will be the Legbars and Bielefelders. Just over 6 weeks at that point. The oldest will be 12 week old Bantam Silkie pullets. Everyone else is in between. They shouldn't need heat as it will be late April when I put them out and we are in far Southern NJ. Again. Thanks so much for...

Actually they are in with the legbars as they are tiny and timid still. The other birds are growing like weeds and I'm afraid they might accidentally hurt the little ones with their antics. So they are all in separate brooders.

Thank you for the excellent advice. I'm not integrating new birds necessarily, just moving them from brooders to the big girl house. No adult birds to speak of right now. So baby (or I guess teenage) Bielefelders, Legbars, Silkies, Orps and Leghorns. All within a few weeks age of one another...

Here is ours

Attached run with 3 foot extension. They are Bantam and only 1/2 grown ( between 8 and 12 weeks old). I will be gone until the middle of May, DH will be on chicken duty. Right now they are still in a brooder in my dining room. Would it be better just to put them all together in the main coop...

My coop is a 12×8 converted shed that we jokingly call the chicken palace. The attached run is 20 x 10, so I thought we could easily fit the 11 standard size and 6 bantams I planned on housing there. The issue is, the more I'm reading, the more I think my Silkies won't be safe housed with the...

Also: We ordered one cockerel, he came with a blue head spot, but passed away shortly after. I'm totally OK with this one being our boy.

Not more cream legbars. Exactly the right amount of "pullets". I did get extra Leghorns and Silkies added.

Cackle hatchery sexed this chick as a pullet, but I have my doubts. 1 week old Cream Legbar.

Good thoughts for you. My husband said the same thing after his. He was a healthy 40yr. Old on no meds, then, "bam" on a ton of them.

Yep. It is all finished and lived in. I just need to get some newer pics uploaded.

Here are some pictures from early on. It is just a well built shed that I bought from a local company. We divided it for storage, added nesting boxes, roosts, an extra window, and a pop door. Since I am not handy and didn't want to burden my husband it was the best solution.

I feed and water in both. In my case I have a very diverse flock of mixed ages. With a nipple waterer inside and out, and two separate feeders, I am less worried someone will be kept from eating or drinking. My coop is 8x12, the run is 20x10, and I have 15 birds. I don't feel the small amount of...

Makes sense. Thank you.

No one else can say why she has green tail feathers?

I hope you are right!

Until today, I had what I believed to be a quad of Jubilee Orpingtons. Two regular pullets, and a blue cockerel and pullet. Today I happen to notice that one of the pullets has some curved green tail feathers under her tail. That does not make me happy, as even one rooster is a bit of an...
