    poll: are you legal or an outlaw?

    I'm illegal? Idk, the limit per household is 3 (I have 13) but you are allowed to have 10+ per 1/4 acre which I have (multiple lot yard!).

    Two coops, one run?

    Will do! Actually I am almost finished wiring the second run/coop right now!

    Silver Lakenvelder

    I hear they're good layers, small but flighty. Haha not much. However I did just order a chick off mypetchicken and will post when she arrives (along with a blue andalusian, a polish, and a gold spangled hamburg!!!).

    Two coops, one run?

    I'm trying this as well. However I have different circumstances I think. Originally I had one coop with 3 chickens. Now I'm adding 10. The first 4 I waited till they were old enough to stay outside and then put them in a nursery type enclosure in the run of the original coop. The other 6 are all...

    3-4 Week (Possibly 5-6) Old Leghorn, Roo?

    Quote: He/She is about 8 inches in length and 6 inches tall. What makes you say it's a meat bird? Just the shape of his eyes. They are different than my Leghorns' eyes, and remind me of some meatie chick pictures I have seen. No big deal though. Mine are hens afterall, not roosters so I...

    Coop inside building?

    Nest boxes are best at about 18"-24" above the ground. Other thing to consider is keeping these separate from the rest of the coop. I have a divider wall that separates the nest boxes from the roosts. My chickens seem to love the privacy as well as the dark. And don't forget, if you're boxes are...

    Picky Chickens

    So I have three 2 year old hens and they are all very picky about their selection of treats. I've tried literally everything on the treat chart and the only thing they'll eat off it is spinach and other leafy things. Other things they will eat are strawberry tops as well as egg shell. Any ideas...

    I want to get more "experimental" with the treats!

    What am I? Roo/Pullet for one, breed for the other!

    I had the same question about one of my barred rocks two years ago. Turns out she just matured really fast. This looks exactly like she did.

    Possible Roo?

    Hmmm, this picture makes me think he/she is a lot younger than 4 weeks. We bought them at a local pet store chain that didn't even know the breed, much less the age. How long till we'll be able to tell for sure the gender?

    Possible Roo?

    So I just got some new "pullets", two leghorns and two australorps. They're all about 4 weeks or so old. What's concerning me is that one of the leghorns has already developed a fair-sized red comb and behaves much like an adult rooster. He/She is always seperate from the other three, is almost...
