    12 weeks old now - any more input on breed or gender?

    Hello again, everyone! I am thoroughly enjoying my four chickens, and would like to post some updated photos now that they're about 12 weeks old (all hatched 4/30/2014).

    Male or female?

    These are two of my four adopted chicks. They are approximately 7 weeks old. I would love it if anyone can tell me at this point if they are roosters or not.

    Low maintenance feeders and waterers

    I am a newbie....haven't even bought any hens yet. I'm working on setting up the coop and run area right now. I have no supplies yet. I plan to have 3-4 hens. A couple of feeding/watering questions: 1) I would like to keep feeding and watering as low-maintenance as possible. Any recommended...

    Chicken run on a slope

    Hi, all - I am a brand-new member. Don't even have any hens yet. My question is regarding building a run on a slope. I want to convert my daughter's old 5'x8' playhouse into a chicken coop for 3-4 hens. The playhouse was built onto a large in-ground boulder, which is on a slope. My idea is to...
