    Diamond duchess...hen or rooster?

    Oh yes, they have been. We brought them in for a bit before bedtime (our kids like to sit & chat to them for a bit before they head back out to the coop lol) but they are outside most of the day & just starting to integrate with the rest of the flock after having their own area outside in the...

    Diamond duchess...hen or rooster?

    Oh thats good to know! Maybe its just that they are really chatty We had a barred rock years ago that used to "talk" to me everyday all day any time I talked to her, so I was wondering if perhaps its a trait of barred rocks (which I know are part of the Diamond duchess breed) but I just wasn't...

    Buff Orpington Pullet or cockerel?

    My BO is probably about 9-ish weeks. When first getting wing feathers, had the 2 tiers of feathers (the w shape not straight line) Just starting to get a Lil pink to her comb & waddle area. Lighting isnt great bc its nighttime & these guys still like to have the red light on (they tell me all...

    Diamond Duchess

    It's a Family Farm & Home breed. From what it seems in other posts it's new this year, barred rock mixed with crested cream legbar (thats the guess)

    Diamond Duchess

    Wondering if this is a roo or hen. Bought on April 8, probably a week or two old. Likely 9-ish weeks old Bit of a comb but still flesh colored Spur buds (though many of my hens have them & even have an 8 year old hen with huge spurs) Just not familiar with this breed & a few years back we...

    Change in behavior

    Thank you. I was trying to figure out was it a pecking order thing or a picking on her bc she was sick or something. Which came first type thing. But I did notice the younger one who's leading the pack on it isn't doing her usual squat & wings out right away when I'm out there, so she for sure...

    Change in behavior

    I have a flock of 6. I have an EE named Sizlack who has always been top-ish in the pecking order & while sweet once you catch her, she never wants to be picked up so catching her is so so hard. Last night, went down to close up the coop & she wasn't inside, just chilling outside. I go to pick...

    Walling in run to increase coop size

    Yes! This is what I was thinking! I was going to leave the top wire area uncovered for the ventilation & also add in some additional windows on the panels I put in so I can open more up for light & air etc But yes, thank you, this is exactly the sort of thing I was thinking

    Walling in run to increase coop size

    So we have a coop with a run attached. All of which is inside a larger fenced in area. During the day the girls have the whole fenced in area (pretty huge space) to go about their chicken way. We have an attached run on our coop that I'm wondering if I could panel over the hard wire cloth to...

    West MI: Need to re-home sweetest Cockerel

    We have the sweetest 20 week old chicken that we've thought was a hen all this time, turns out he's a Sapphire Gem Male. He is beautiful & sweet & gentle. He has not started crowing. We cannot keep him where we live. We are in Holland Michigan. Free to a farm or family near west Michigan.

    Roo or hen? HELP!!!!

    Well my kiddos would be devastated if we have to re-home him...but I guess we'll see how he grows and develops in terms of his personality & extent of crowing. We are in a neighborhood so I don't want it to drastically affect our neighbors. Also saw a crow collar which could be worth a shot if...
