    Portable fencing options

    Thank you so much, I will look into that. Do you know if it's possible to add like maybe a shade cloth over some of it? Just trying to come up with ideas for shade because most of my yard is open without shade, so in our summer heat they will need some type of shade.

    Portable fencing options

    I'm looking at options/ideas for portable fencing that I can move throughout my yard for my chickens to roam and graze. So hoping I can find a solution that is easy to put up and take down to move/store when not in use. As far as predators, during the day the biggest threat is hawks, but they...

    Solid black chicken

    Oh ok, I wasn't sure what they were called. I just Googled, and saw a few pictures where the mystic onyx didn't have the crests, that may be what she is then because she does look like them. Now to do some research on mystic onyx 😂

    Solid black chicken

    I wasn't able to get pictures today. I was thinking maybe she was a mystic onyx, but her not having the extra feather on her head was what threw me off thinking she may not be a mystic onyx.

    Solid black chicken

    I know a picture will be more helpful, I will try to get a picture later today. Please read. I know that I will likely never know what she is or mixed with, I'm just looking for possible breeds to see if anyone may have some suggestions that I may have missed. Also, I have no way of...

    Silver Laced Wyandotte rooster

    Honestly, when I was getting chicks, and before I got them, I had no intention of getting a SLW, because I had a family member who had wyandottes in the past just go on and on about how bad they are, not aggressive but just not a breed to have as a pet, or that their egg laying wasn't as good...

    Silver Laced Wyandotte rooster

    I will look around and try to add my location. I think I tried to before but couldn't figure it out. I live in Oklahoma, we have been getting colder temps in the winter, the past couple cold fronts the lowest temps were the upper teens at night, but our summer heats can be 100+ for weeks at a...

    Silver Laced Wyandotte rooster

    Thanks, your answer was extremely helpful. With that said, I have read that some breeds are more prone to aggression, such as game roosters, I've also read a great deal that RIR are generally not as friendly and is a bit more prone to aggression then say a Buff Orpington rooster. I've also read...

    Silver Laced Wyandotte rooster

    I live in Oklahoma, where the summer heat is usually a bigger issue then the winter, although these past few Winters we have had unusually colder temps/cold fronts but they have only lasted a couple weeks at most and have not dropped below 0. These past couple cold fronts, the coldest temps were...

    Silver Laced Wyandotte rooster

    I'm just wondering what your experience has been with having a Silver Laced Wyandotte Rooster. Before actually getting chickens I had plans to eventually get either a buff orpington rooster or a barred rock. I'm still open to those breeds. I do have a mixed flock, one of my hens is a SLW and...

    I dont know what is wrong, sick/weak pullet

    So if she's not showing any signs of being ill does that mean she is not laying internally? She is still doing really good, absolutely no signs of being sick/weak or anything. This morning, after she sat on the nest, she has started going after a couple of the other chickens, holding them...

    I dont know what is wrong, sick/weak pullet

    If it is internal laying, is there anyway to know forsure before she gets sick/an infection? Like is there any signs to indicate whether that is what is going on? Or is it just a waiting game for her to get an infection? If it is a reproductive disorder, will she be suffering, like in pain or...

    I dont know what is wrong, sick/weak pullet

    Just want to give another update since it's been a few weeks since the last one. She is still doing really good, no signs of being weak/sick, and is back to herself. She is finally back to chatting with me everytime she sees me, and following me around. The only thing I'm concerned about at...
