After someone else commented in another post about liking my coops, I felt I should post them here... Late summer last year, we inherited 1 roo and 6 hens. Now we have to build a coop. I did not know about chicken math, but I did build something I felt was bigger than we currently needed. So...

I tried to get them to line up and pose, well... as you can see that did not work... Aging between 1-2 years old, we have: 1-RIR Rooster 1-New Hamshire Red Hen 1-Black Sex link hen 1-Blue Ameracana hen 3-Easter Eggers hen At 17-18 weeks 2-RIR pullets 6-Black sex link pullets 11-Golden Comet...

I just noticed this afternoon that the comb on my rooster is a little discolored. It may have been this way for a while, I don't know. He acts normal like nothing is wrong. Maybe I just got paranoid when I saw it because I was reading in here about other chickens wit discolored combs that ended...

With 26 chickens now (7 we inherited and 19 pullets that we have raised) and 32 new chicks on the way and the chicken math keeps growing... We decided to leg band our flock and number them so that we can identify them if issued arise such as illness, injury, etc. as well as tracking ages for...

We have have been collecting eggs from my 6 adult hens for about 4 months, I have not gotten a double Yoker from any of them. Some of my pullets have begun laying and the first one I cracked open was a double yoker, but it was a small egg like the others. I have never seen this before... Sent...

I have Golden Comets that I am raising now and I really like the birds, so I started studying about the Sex links. I have decided that I want to be a sell sustaining small time sex link breader. I have a RIK rooster now and another on the way along with Barred Rocks, Delawares, and White Rocks...

Well, we have a guy fairly local that incubated and hatches small batches on a regular basis. However, unless they are sex links, he sells as straight run, not at all sexed. Last time I bought from him, I successfully feather sexed 2 Rhode Island Reds and was correct on them being the pullets I...

I have an order from McMurray coming in the week of April 4th. This will be my second time raising chicks. Our first batch is right at 17 weeks now. We got 19 and they all survived, several were just over a week old when we got them and the rest were 3-4 days old. We were actually quite...

My BSL and Golden Comet pullets are just over 17 weeks old. Got my second egg today, not sure who from... The two middle eggs in the picture came from the pullets, the two outer eggs are from my adult layers. Will the eggs get bigger as the pullets continue to mature? Sent from my SM-G920V...

Late last summer, we inherited 7 chickens, 1 rooster and 6 hens. The move caused them to go into molt and it took almost 2 months before we started getting eggs. When they finally started laying, I guess I got chicken fever... and just after Thanksgiving we picked up 19 new hatchlings. 8 Black...

I have started mixing my own feed using natural grains. My first mix was Whole Oates, Milo, Cracked Corn and Soy Meal. This mixed in equal parts has given me appr a 19% protein feed and it looks good enough for me to eat. My price breakdown was as follows, all 50# bags: Milo - 15.00 Whole...

I have been reading for a while. I got our first chickens about 6 months ago. We got 7 that were about a year old that needed a home. 1 roo and 6 hens. About 2 months later we decided to raise some and we got 19 newly hatched chicks. They are now just around the corner from laying. I figured it...
