Splash Orpington: pullet or cockerel?
I think it's a trick of the lighting. It was twilight. They look more splash in the day time. We have a couple lavendar orpington hens and these littles are more white and freckled than my lavs. Yours are so cute!- jesss

Splash Orpington: pullet or cockerel?
It would be nice if they were both pullets. They look so different from each other; it's hard for me to imagine them ending up the same sex.- jesss

Us vs. The Rats
Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences and advice. I think we are going to dig out the run and mend hardware cloth underground. We have a bit left in the garage from another project so it may only cost me a weekend. I'm not really looking forward to all that mending but oh I just can't...- jesss

Us vs. The Rats
Our coop is pretty big. That would be a huge undertaking. Might be worth it, if nothing else will work, though. The entire run is screened with hardware cloth, which is also buried at least a foot underground. There are no gaps larger than 1/8" in the whole thing, except underground.- jesss

Us vs. The Rats
I really appreciate the enthusiasm for this topic. We use a hanging feeder and waterer already, but obviously tge aren't rat-proof! Is there a rat proof feeder people use? We have talked about pouring in quickcrete but it seems like they will just dig alongside it. I guess I need to figure out...- jesss

Us vs. The Rats
over the summer/fall, it became apparent there were rats stealing our chicken feed. We have had chickens for seven years and never had a problem with rats. We built a garden coop from plans we bought online, and covered the entire coop with hardware cloth, which we also buried 12" underground...- jesss

We got this EE in our latest batch of chicks. She's brought up a lot of questions for us about whether she's a she. Almost 4 weeks old. What other photos would help ID her?- jesss

Movie star chickens?
Very cool! I didn't know that they got whiter as they aged, and it seemed much whiter than the d'uccle hens I've seen. Thank you both so much!- jesss

Movie star chickens?
I saw a newish Jane Fonda movie, Peace Love & Misunderstanding. Jane's character keeps a variety of rare breed chickens at her farm. Most of them I recognized but... what is this? Thanks in advance!- jesss
