    Verified weasel in run

    I have a weasel in the chicken run. The chickens are inside when we've seen the weasel and the coop is completely wrapped in 1/4" hardware cloth including Windows and vents. The run on the other hand is in cattle wire and a hardware cloth apron, but the weasel easily gets in. I made a 110...

    Rooster?

    This bird is about 8+ weeks old and is our farm mix Easter egger hen x golden laced wyandotte roo. Hard to tell is this one pullet or cockerel. I was leaning cockerel but unsure since they don't have the waddles like other breads and from the wyandotte carries the rose comb

    What else would these be?

    If that's the case they're only 3 out of 8 successful 🤦‍♂️. I'll just wait anyway and see how they mature and maybe be pleasantly surprised.

    What else would these be?

    Exactly but my concern is the other 5 like the first picture. They were also labeled as Isa but don't look like the other 3. Wondering if in a couple months I'll have to fall TSC or Hoover's back

    What else would these be?

    Other picture didn't attach by the looks so here it is. But either way if so somebody really.messed up being supposedly sex links

    What else would these be?

    Got 8 Isa brown chicks from TSC a month ago and there's clear differences between half of them. 3 have the lighter color pattern I was expecting to develop (1st photo), and the other 5 (2nd photo) look just like my Rhode island reds at his point. So wondering if TSC/Hoover's messed up or could...

    Golden lace wyandotte X Sapphire gem sex linked?

    I have a golden laced wyandotte roo over a sapphire gem hen and hatched 4 chicks. 1 is a noticeable blue silver color and the other 3 are more.black with yellow tipped wings. Wondering if it might be a sex linked trait or just different.

    Male ISA Briwn?

    Got these gals from TSC and from what I've read the pullets should be chestnut colored for red sex linked chicks. There's a couple chicks that have very light, almost buff colored wings so curious if there's a chance they're males? There is some chestnut coloring on their chick down running down...

    Introduce to flock soon?

    Only reason of needing own coop is I seen most people recommend to wait until up to 10-12 weeks when they're about the same size as the adults. Coop is big enough, but not big enough to build an enclosure within and have room for the adults comfortably still. Coop 8x8 and run 15x10. I have...

    Introduce to flock soon?

    We have 8 chicks we hatched that are 5 weeks today and staying in a large watermelon box like you see at the supermarket. It's getting tight and we don't necessarily have the space or resources to build a small coop for just a few weeks. When wokd be the best time to introduce them without as...

    RIR x GLW

    I have some rir and golden laced wyandotte hybrids. They're going on 3 week this coming Tuesday and I notice 2 have red developing in their combs already and 2 are ran still. Think 2 roos and 2 hens or still too early? I also have some Americana mixes and black austrolorpe hybrid but no defining...

    Feathers this early?

    I have eight hybrid chicks that we hatched. Four are Rhode Island red and golden laced Wyandotte crosses, three are Easter Egger and golden laced Wyandotte crosses, and one black austrolorpe and golden laced Wyandotte cross. I notice especially on the Reds, they already have their wing...

    Can't get humidity above 58% on day 18

    Just entering lockdown. I have some small pieces if sponge cut up and both reservoirs filled. Humidity is staying around 58% or so. Ventilation is full open, so should I close vent a bit to at least get to 65% or keep vent fully open and cross my fingers?
