    What gender, please? :-) 6-week-old barnyard mixes

    Thanks again, all of you. Interesting point, Popsicle! You know, I hadn't even thought about that! I'll have to check with my friend and see if any of the other chicks are showing peacombs and/or beards/muffs. I know at least a couple of the other chicks had very definite greenish legs, but I...

    What gender, please? :-) 6-week-old barnyard mixes

    :sigh: Thank you all, I was afraid they might be cockerels. I know it's a bit early to tell for sure, but.... The chick that looks more Barred Rock definitely has either a Black Copper Marans or Ameraucana mother; those are the only kinds of hens my friend has. I know the darker chick is more...

    What gender, please? :-) 6-week-old barnyard mixes

    These 2 are 6 weeks old here, both from the same Barred Rock daddy. Mama for the darker chick was clearly one of my friends' Black Copper Marans hens (that chick even hatched out with the leg feathering already started); lighter chick could be from either a Copper Marans mama or an Ameraucana...

    Cheap, DIY emergency/segregation coop?

    Great suggestions and advice: Thank you both so much! Sugar is not afraid of Pepper, the gal she arrived here with, so I'll set up something where the 2 of them can "room" together. And I'll call around about free pallets today, and check with the nearby motorcycle shop about a shipping...

    Cheap, DIY emergency/segregation coop?

    I recently inherited two more hens from a friend. One of these gals, Sugar, had an incident a few months before wherein the friend's other hens pecked her pretty badly. She's doing fine, but another incident occurred here with my girls that added to her trauma, and I'm not sure she's ever going...

    Does anyone have photos of your 2 week old chick?

    Here are 3 of my 4 girlies at about 2 weeks old. The gal in front is a RIR, and the other 2 are GSLs. :-)

    At what age do combs begin?

    I got my very first pullets, 2 GSLs and 2 RIRs, from the local Big R store 5 days ago. I was told they had come in a week before, and that they were thus probably about 9 days old at that time. This morning, we noticed that all 4 girls are starting to get their combs coming in. Their wing...

    Oregon Summer Poultry Swap, Redmond, June 18th

    Hi Folks, Kind of a newbie here... had visited with you all about a year ago and I'm just now returning. I won a coop recently so will be getting my first chickies soon. I'm in Bend. You mentioned a Facebook group? Could I ask what the actual group name is? I tried doing a search on Facebook...

    What are you planting or growing this year?

    Hi All! Stuck in suburbia here, but my darling hubby supplied me with 6 very nice raised garden beds, and I do additional goodies in pots. Here's this year's lineup: Tomatoes (3 kinds), peppers, onions (3 kinds), scallions, lettuces (4 kinds), peas, snow peas, bush beans, carrots, spinach...
