    Integration struggles

    This photo is taken from above in .5 mode. This welded wire divides the tall part of the run down the diagonal, and is four feet tall. Despite my efforts to open the “door” of it (aka unhooking it from the side farthest from the food) without using my hands as a chicken would, I have not been...

    Integration struggles

    No, because there is only one door to the run and I need to be able to access the entirety of it. I will take pictures tomorrow. I’m not sure how to cover it and still make it so I can easily get through if needed without dismantling anything.

    Integration struggles

    They still are not getting along. We ended up closing the larger ones into the area allotted for the small ones, as the small ones are underneath the coop where I cannot easily reach them. How do I keep the small ones contained??? They seem determined to get out of their safe areas.

    I am attempting to do that, but the younger ones are choosing to leave their spaces that I have tried to make un leaveable.

    Integration struggles

    We recently acquired two white leghorn (hopefully) pullets to add to our flock of 3.

    Why does it sound like she has hiccups??

    Will do! We are supposed to add to our flock this weekend so I'm really hoping she isn't afflicted by something contagious.

    Why does it sound like she has hiccups??

    Little worried about Round Chicken. She’s around 4-5 years old, red sex link. We don’t know exactly how old she is, but I’d say minimum 4. Eating and drinking fine, no other behavioral changes I’ve noticed. She’s moving around fine as well. I’ve attempted to put in a video- let me know if it...

    Codominance in Chickens

    Thank you! Would splash be considered codominance or is there something else at play? If so, how does that work?

    Codominance in Chickens

    Hi all! In school, I'm learning about codominant genes. Are BBS genetics an example of codominant genes? If so, what colorings are? Thank you for the help!

    Farm chatter

    They definitely aren’t what you’d call common. Fun little dogs, though!

    Come Ramble With Me!

    I’ve been good! Still showing dogs, the chickens are vibing (Tillie died :( ). I started rowing and school has been picking up a lot so I’ve had a lot going on. I’m a lot happier though
