    Cochin

    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...

    Silkies in an Eglu

    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...

One group of Jubilee Orps all arrived together and ever since they came...

    I am a convert

    I want to start off by saying when we were recently building my dream coop I spent hours on this forum looking up ideas. After doing my research I decided we needed a poop board under our roosts, something we didn't have for our small ladder-style in the old coop. Today will make a week since...

    Chicks integrating themselves?

    I just went out to check on the littles that arrived yesterday afternoon and found them happily scratching and pecking away with their full grown sisters. Obviously that was not our plan for integrating four week old pullets, but they popped back through the holes in the barrier when I shooed...

    Started pullets

    My seven new babies came today. It was my first time ordering from a hatchery and so far I am happy. They took less than 24 hours to get here, and are healthy looking, active, and eating like champs. I was wondering about this little Easter Egger girl. Will she be blue wheaten as an adult?
