Hi All! Sorry I have been absent. Remember those 2 chicks I posted about last year that my hen sat and started hatching out? Well they were both hens and hatched out 5 chicks on February 29th! I'm up to a total of 23 chickens now! I also have been busy caring for my family of 8- 4 grandkids, 2...

:) I would agree with you on the first if I had a Barred Rock Hen. I have Golden Laced Hens though. I ruled out the Rhode Island Reds.

I goofed on the size of the coop. It is 6 X 10. I went out and measured.

Bandit is our Rooster. Pictured to the left. Our coop is a 4ft by 8ft right now. It has 2 main roosting bars one running the length of the coop and 1 running the width of the coop. 6 nest boxes. We are being given a 2nd coop that we are going to attach by a tunnel. I believe it is the same...

Okay, I have my 6 8-10 week old chicks outside. We have been doing the look don't touch method through a fence/separate pen since the first of July. I have been letting them out of their pen and coop to free range with the adults for the last 2 weeks. The chicks hang around and in the pens and...

No, Not Really, Just a matter of curiosity and fun to guess.

My June 30th Hatchlings! :D We know who the Dad is. The Handsome man in my Avatar and the Third Picture. We are trying to figure out who Mom was. We are thinking the first photo was a Gold Lace Wyandotte mom. The second photo we are going with a Black Australorp mom. This chick is larger than...

Mine have not come off at all. I use Down Under Outdoors Saddles. Some have been on my hens since the middle of winter. They still look like new, except dirty. I also use the shoulder covers. Bandit (our Roo) is a couple of months younger than our oldest hens so it was a learning curve all the...

We did the debate on having a Rooster or not-we have Hawk issues. But we decided to give it a try. We are glad we did. We put saddles on our hens.

Thank You!

He (Bandit) is about 4 weeks younger than the girls. He was hatched in April, and the girls were bought as babies on March 12 at Family Farm and Home.

Due to a Red tailed Hawk, I have lost my older Egg laying hens. They were Free Range. All I have left are my babies I purchased from Family Farm and Home in Mid-March (Hen Chick Days). ( mid-late February-very early March hatch for these girls) I have 3 Rhode Island Reds, 5 Black Australorps...

I live in Mid-Michigan and put my 8-9 week old babies out a week ago Sunday, but kept them locked in the coop until this weekend due to the temperatures. We do have heat in our coop. The babies have been doing fine. BTW they love going in and out and perching on the windbreak/tunnel we have set...
