    Need To Thin Out The Coop...Local Utah Pick Up Only

    $12.00 Each or all 7 for $75.00 (2 Buff Orpington, 2 Golden Laced Wyandotte, 1 Colombian Wyandotte, 2 Speckled Sussex) We have a few two year old hens that need new homes. They're all great layers and we would like to find a home for all of them together, but that's not a deal breaker...

    I drank the coturnix kool-aid

    I wasn't really planning on another spring project. The kids got two new bunnies and we are brooding eight new hens for the chicken coop, but I was at IFA and they had the cutest mix of two week old coturnix sitting in in their pens and I couldn't resist. I turned the starter bunny cage into a...

    Rooster and Hens

    Agreed with post above... I've even heard of fertile eggs in the grocery store that have been able to be incubated and hatched.

    Adding onto existing coop

    Hens shouldn't roost in nesting boxes, it makes for poopy eggs.:P

    someone is crowing is my hen a rooster?

    I'd say both, but the BO for sure.

    How to get my chicks to like me?

    I talk to them and feed them by putting a small amount of food in my cupped hand. I also have a large walk-in run where I can put a small stool and just sit and watch and talk. I try not to chase them and now that they're putting themselves to bed at night I have no need to. Other than that...

    problems raising wyandottes?

    No advice here, but I have two golden laced and one Colombian and never had an issue. In fact my two goldens are bigger than others in the flock the same age. Are they from the same hatch?

    Is this a Roo or Hen? they are a little over 9 weeks now

    Looks like a hen to me too. My Wayndotte chicks all have larger and redder combs than my other chicks. I think she's pretty even though her lacing isn't typical.

    Moving chickens outside

    I only feed and water my chickens outside of the coop. Generally once they're on the roost they don't move around in the dark. Keeping food and water in the run just makes it easier to keep things clean.

    Moving chickens outside

    I thought I built the perfect ramp, but they still go about half way down and just flap off. You'll be fine.

    Anyone know what these are?

    They are looking great. You probably won't see eggs until they're 6-8 months old. And it's hard to tell, but I don't see a rooster in there.

    Are My Chickens DUMB?

    So my little bundles of energy are about 2 months old now. I put them out in the coop almost two weeks ago and they love all the new freedom. I put straw down today and they love it. Here's the question, though. I put them in the coop for two days, just so they knew where their bed was...
