I’m also really concerned because of how Loud they’re chirping at night. I think they’re trying to huddle but having trouble tryna find a good position, what concerns me is that if I come by, or any predator at night, they’ll start chirping like crazy and get all 4 chickens in the coop attacked...
I have 2 pullets moved to the coop last week, and they’re not going up the coop stairs. The hen house is raised1 home is upstairs and the run downstairs. Right now I’ve seen one of them go up the stairs but not at night. What’s weird is I came out in the eventing and they were huddled in the run...
As it’s getting late I’m not gonna disturb the chicks but I can take another one tmr. I’m not very understanding when it comes to chicken anatomy, but I believe the vent is in the top? There is a little yellow bulge thing- is that the navel? I did put a bit of aquaphor on her behind and she...

Well it’s time to identify breeds!
I do need your help however. I’m pretty sure these guys are mutts though. I did use google photos and was able to determine the left one is a arucana Cochin hybrid. I am starting to thing this guys a roo though.
The one on the right looks like an amurcana, but...
Hello!
I have 2 chicks, and I’m concerned about how they’re going to eat their own feed when they’re in the coop with my older hens. Right now my hens feeder is in the run, with their waterer in a nesting box to keep it from freezing. Right now I’m thinking that I can occupy a nesting box with a...
Well, the chicks have grown older, feathers are coming in and I’m really excited! They’re energetic and curios, pecking at their soundings, so that tells me they’re growing up perfectly healthy and happy! However, I do need help sexing them. I’ve suspected that the yellow one is a roo, it was...
