Someone here told me that some roos start crowing at 3 weeks.
And the red headgear is a big indicator. If it crows like a roo...
but pics would get you more responses!
Thank you! I'm going to do this.
But, I'm going to extend my tube right into my feed storage area so I can just fill it from the outside!
Right now I have to bend over to get into the coop and this will save my back!
#1 has a single comb.
I think she's a RIR, I looked at the buckeye specs and there is no charcoal line down her back. She has bright yellow legs.
Well, no decisions to be made until we're 100% sure she's a he. I'm getting to know our brown leghorn more each day and what a sweetheart she is...
Ok! There are no other chickens in the crate.
#1 is a RIR or mix (I'm pretty sure - not the top quality kind, but a nice personality nonetheless and perfect for my backyard admiration)
I do have a flock nearby - 2-3 year old hens, well established group of 7. The Wyandottes are the loud...
We thought we heard a crow the other morning. There are 2 suspects. Here they are:
#1 is my rescue chicken - was found wandering the streets at the tender age of 4-6 weeks old.
S/he is very inquisitive and fearless, friendly and affectionate. Loves to hang with his peeps (humans). Doesn't...

I have one person confirmed coming out tomorrow evening. She just wants one. I'll let you know what time so you can come too. Please bring a carrier!

They are home happily peeping. We'll put them in with the rest of the flock on Friday night so we can watch them on Saturday while they're all free ranging.
Beautiful birds, very nice farm/operation!
Thanks again, Jami
Here they are with the kids...
My gardeners put out fertilizer against our wishes on Thursday.
How long before it's safe for the hens to roam again?
Yes, I'm livid. My husband was able to round them up and get them into their coop before any of them ingested it.
They do not spend much of their time in the lawn, but they...
We're still debating on our Ancona (pullet or hen).
They are 13 weeks old. When did your Ancona roo start crowing?
Are they early crowers or late?
Fingers crossed for a roo that doesn't crow much. ;-) I'd keep him and hope my neighbors wouldn't say much. My closest neighbor suffers from...
thanks everyone! That was my instinct, but wanted to see the innovative ideas you have.
Yes, there is an area next to the coop with lots of trees/vegetation and it should stay mostly dry. I'll open the door in the rainy season but my guess is that they'll stay in. I'm going to have to put...
