    How do I get my 15 wk Pullets to Roost in Coop?

    If you dont want to read my post, why reply? Really, why? What is even the point? Seriously, what planet are you from that you act like that? Why respond at all if you are too irritated with punctuation to read. Its obvious you dont have very many nice things to say, wo why say anything at all...

    Its not tarped. That is oiled canvas and its to privide shade from the harsh afternoon sun its fully vented top and bottom. I am not gonna man handle them. Thats not my way. Its also vented at the top and it has a solar fan at the gable. Its fully ventilated.

    How do I get my 15 wk Pullets to Roost in Coop?

    Forgot to attach this pic of the coop roosts. That was my first attempt. I will replace them with regular plain 2x4 roosts next few days. Ill do that before removing the roost in the run. Also they absolutely will make room for every last sister. These girls are super close and super tight. They...

    How do I get my 15 wk Pullets to Roost in Coop?

    I didnt really know where else to post this thread? So I have a small coop with an attached run that is mostly polycarb panels, vented top and bottom. Its like a secure greenhouse and the girls loved it the moment I opened their coop up to the run. They Love it so much I never could ever get...

    How many Cockerels do you see?

    TY, Yeah, we bought 6 girls and one boy. They added 2 extra girls to mke sure they could keep eachother warmand one died the first day and we eneded up giving the cockerel away, as mentionedhe was abusive from the start. So I would say thats pretty good sexing. They usuually dont get that...

    Nah, its fine it was a right sided unilateral vestibular schwannoma. I went through Radiation treatment(Gamma Knife) in 2018. It was very difficult... it was the most difficult thing I have ever been through. The radiation to the skull is rough, very rough. I was very sick and my brain was...

    Oh gosh, I walked into that one. No, it was probably about the absolute best kind of tumor and it was probably about the best outcome one could hope for. Its dead and stable and probably wont come back but we check it every year to make sure its staying still now. However my brain took some hits...

    Yeah, it makes more sense that Storm is a pullet. Storm is and always has been one of my smallest birds since day 2. She was all blue or gray of different shades the first several weeks. She always protected the smallest black one and from the other rooster that we gave away. Storm was a fitting...

    Yep no crowing as of yet so maybe the problem is that I thought a hen was a rooster. Judging my other hens off of a hen. LOL yes Wattles, I stand corrected. I actually gaave a rooster away because he was mean from the start. I liked him but he was for sure a rooster. My nurse has him now, she...

    I very much like the sound of that! Thats what I thought. They are for sure easter eggers, the hatcheries just have fancy new names for them now, I guess. So what about the blue and Red one. I was told he was for sure a rooster and he certainly looks like one if he aint a little small. Do you...

    How many Cockerels do you see?

    Bought these from Cackle Hatchery, the rooster paperwork said it was a bluebell? Otherwise they are just listed as EE. Not sure if they are all Prairie Bluebells but more than likely if the cockerel is then they probably are all bluebells? I realize EE isnt even a real breed let alone their new...

    Age 15 weeks. The one with all the fancy red and blue and hackles is more than probably a rooster although he is small compared to some of the others. I thought the other six are hens but now Im not sure. Non3 of them act like roosters, not even the one that looks like a rooster. He does kinda...

    Questions about brooding outside

    Thanks so much, yes I wanted to build something charming for a half dozen or so birds. I spent the last two years building it and now my 7 babies are just about 9 weeks old and getting very chickeney. I put up a couple roosts in their dayroom/run and pushed their food bucket into the spot on the...
