    Rooster/Cockerel Photo Thread

    This is my rooster Mordecai. He’s a bit of a jerk face but he’s beautiful. Every time I go outside he starts crowing and doesn’t shut up until I go back inside. It’s weird because he doesn’t do it to my husband just me.

    First Coop build almost complete!

    My husband and I are building our first chicken coop and I wanted to share what we have so far. Any ideas, comments, or advice would be greatly appreciated! We watched a lot of videos and decided to go with a 4’x8’ floor plan on a raised foundation with a sloping roof. We insulated the floor...

    Sand in brooder??

    I've been doing a lot of research on this lately, but have come up with very contradictory information. First though what I did find that was pretty much across the board was not to use play sand, but instead use construction grade or river sand as it's more coarse and less likely to cause...

    Mail-Order Chicks on Their Way but I am confused???

    We are definitely wary of roosters around small children. When my husband was very young (about 4 or 5) he was playing in the yard and their rooster attacked him and cut him from above his eyebrows, down his eye and across the top of his cheek. He still has a small scar from it. They had rooster...

    Hi I'm Gigi and this is my introduction!

    Yes, definitely a 180! I think my priorities in life have changed as I've gotten older. What I want now is not what I wanted when I was younger. I'm very excited to start this new chapter of my life. :)

    Mail-Order Chicks on Their Way but I am confused???

    I just ordered from meyer hatchery and mine are also coming on March 25th! I've been worried about the possibility of getting males as well. We ordered 10 hens of 5 different breeds and tried for more docile breeds and also got wynadottes. Are they not supposed to be docile?

    Best bedding for baby chicks in brooder?

    I haven't raised chickens before but my husband and I just ordered ten that should be born near the end of the month. I've been doing a ton of research (he grew up with chickens, but I no nothing about them) the last few weeks. I read a lot of information that stated that using river or...

    Hi I'm Gigi and this is my introduction!

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I am new to chickens although my husband grew up on a farm and has experience with chickens. We are picking up our chicks on April 27th, 2019. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? We ordered 10 chicks. (3) What breeds...
