    the return …

    Not technically new - hear me out! I’m Charlie. My first post here was in April of 2020, I had a beautiful mixed flock of chickens that I had raised myself. I love animals, I also was living with six precious dogs at the time. After about a year of having my birds, I had basically stopped...

    help, weird situation

    Hi, friend! From what I understand, you have one adult hen and rooster, and two pullets and two cockerels coming in. It is not going to be in their best interest to be in a ratio of 1:1. From what I’ve heard, and experienced it’s best to have one rooster for every ten hens or even more hens…...

    My First Egg!! Leghorn or Silkie?

    So went out to my coop today after hearing suspicious sounds. Popped open the back door to find an egg in the nesting box!! We are at 24 weeks and someone finally decided to lay :) I am wondering though, is this a silkie or a white leghorn egg? It’s the smaller one to the right, being compared...

    Something Fishy - a thread for fish owners

    Ringneck Doves

    Females will bow and coo. They’ll sometimes laugh too. But also, I’ve had a lone proven male sit on eggs before. Doves are kinda tricky when it comes to gender. You’ll probably have to wait and see if they lay their own eggs.

    It’s been pretty good. I’ve had to make a couple fixes here and there but the chickens are loving it.

    Hello! Any ideas on breed for these three?

    I have three chickens that I’m not quite sure about breed. They’re all 7 weeks old now. The first one, she’s been getting more white spots as she gets older, her feat are also super fluffy when not wet (bantam) The second one, I think he’s a tiny rooster but, he was the one that wasn’t...

    How old are they REALLY?

    Mine had just the tiniest feathers when they were little. Posting pictures would certainly help.

    Telling if my 2 week old chicks are hens or roosters

    They’re still too little to be sure of anything. Try posting in like a month or so, and attach pictures of each.

    Any help with necessities

    I give my chickens some grit at all times inside the coop. Just in a little pot, I keep it inside so it doesn’t get wet. But they usually find their own. I also give them a big plastic bin and I fill it with some dirt and sand. I only do that if they haven’t been let out. So not a lot...
