    Silver laced Wyandotte gender?

    It was terrifying- peck and tear was yesterday’s mission. Now I’m on to building a temporary coop I guess.

    Silver laced Wyandotte gender?

    For the most part they all are fond of me. Since we got them all as chicks I quickly became their primary caregiver and they learned very fast where the treats come from. I have 3 that need snuggles every day and almost always at the same time. As soon as I sit on my pale they scurry over. If...

    These are the friendliest towards people and I do love them! I thought they were hens from the beginning and have named them after my mother’s sisters...

    Silver laced Wyandotte gender?

    I have 8 silver laced Wyandotte’s that are about 10 weeks old. I’m finding more and more feathers everywhere so I’m not sure what’s going on with all the fighting if they are all hens.

    Roof Ventilation Concerns

    Hi everyone, We live in upstate NY and get some cold winters and hot days in the summer. We’ve been building the coop as part of a homeschooling project and insulation/ventilation has been a huge concern of mine but the quarantined contractor who builds houses for people and not for chickens...

    Coop roof ventilation

    Those vents are exactly what I’ve been trying to figure out! Thank you for the pictures. I do have a question- has anyone ever put used screen in addition to the hardware cloth to help with the bugs? Thanks 😊

    Hello Everyone!

    I am a first time chicken mama here. I was expecting 12 hens back in March and ended up with 19... not sure of the sex or breeds. I do know I have 8 Leghorns and 8 Silverlaced Wyandotte’s and maybe 2 Jersey Giants and 1 big ? All but 7 seem to be around 7 weeks old now with the other a little...
