    Weird Noise?

    It really is! I was the only one who heard it and I ran to my other half to try and tell him about it. But the only way to explain it is by doing an impression of it. I even googled “chicken noise balgalagala”. Unsurprisingly, no results. SO glad to see it on here :)

    Weird Noise?

    I literally just got my first chickens this afternoon and one of them made this noise. I’m so relieved to see it’s something amusing and not concerning!

    New young rooster

    Roof should be waterproof, you can’t really see the angle on the picture but it is there. We’ve just been talking about going over it on last time tomorrow with some extra sealant, just in case. Today is the first time it’s rained so heavily on it, we’ve had showers on and off all day and I’ve...

    I appreciate the understanding, thank you :) As for breeding we’re not looking to pure breed or anything, more just wanting certain breeds for their traits. When we got there the cockerel was wandering around the yard with the girls. I’d made up my mind about not taking him and then almost...

    New young rooster

    New young rooster

    Hey all, First of all thank you so much for the responses, they’ve really helped! I don’t know how to quote multiple people so I’ll just do an overall. The measurement of the hen house is 1.2m by 2.4m (or a little under 4ft by 8ft), which turns out is 2.88sqm, which is 31sqft - not including...

    New young rooster

    Hey everyone, new to the forum! Getting my first chickens tomorrow, we’re picking up 4 hens and a rooster. The 4 hens are about a year old and already know each other, the rooster is about 4 months and whilst all birds are from the same guy, the rooster doesn’t live with the hens. We’ve just...
