Both # 6 (because of its beauty) but also #5 (because I have a soft spot for them).

The first two might be pullets but prep yourself for all Roos.

I have four pullets available, all approaching ten weeks of age and growing wonderfully. Three are EEs (one white, two brown) and one is a BA. They must all go to a new home together, I will not separate them. $30 takes all four, you must pick up from central Tucson. I need them gone within the...

I agree that numbers one and three are boys, and in my opinion number 4 looks like a boy, too. Pretty confidant that numbers 2 and 5 are girls.

Most of the people I know who have guineas let the parents raise them in the flock without any issues.

I only have a few of mine named. Jenny (NN) and Maggie (white EE) were rescues and came with those names. The only one I've named is Dinky (BA) because she's extremely tiny compared to the rest of my chickens.

I wish I had enough room for 16 chickens that seems like the perfect number. Hopefully by the time we have kids we will be on a much bigger property. But it doesn't snow where I live, however we do have a monsoon season of like 2 months where there are thunderstorms so I should definitely plan...

Currently it's 3ft by 7ft and 4ft tall (NOT including the boxes, which are about 2ft by 3ft by 2ft tall). Originally planned for 3-4 chickens but now I have decided to keep 8 hens. They're still young, but how much bigger do I need to make the coop? And I don't just mean some standard minimum...

Alright guys... I have made the decision to keep eight of them. I will be re-homing one of my Black Australorps if anyone in Tucson is interested.

We'll since two of them are rescues (the Naked Neck and one of the white EEs) I was thinking I should keep them both (they are now living with the other girls, but those two always stay together and I don't know if they'd do well without each other). Then I was thinking of keeping the two RiRs...

Ok you guys don't need to be rude. Where I live the average temperature during summer is 110 degrees. Obviously the chickens will have ample shade and water and I know people out here with chickens.

So I currently have 9 pullets, 8-9 weeks of age. 4 Easter Eggers (two brown, two white), 2 Rhode Island Reds, 2 Black Australorps (1 of which is incredibly tiny, I call her Dinky), and one Naked Neck. Once they start laying I plan to find homes for five of them, probably, and only keep 4. The...

Oh wow. I'm new at the chicken thing, but because the comb is more than twice the size of mine at 8 weeks, I would say it's a boy.

If you guys get a chance please help me out with my other two discussion. Thanks!

This is one RiR. And my other RiR. And then "Dinky" my tiny BA, my white Easter Egger, my larger BA, and my other brown Easter Egger. l
