    Suddenly Chickens won't go in coop at night - because of snow?

    Since the snow started flying in Upstate NY, my chickens refuse to go in the coop at night. it's the most bizarre thing. We got them as chicks this past spring, they have done great all summer/fall and always go in their coop at dusk. Ever since it started getting super cold and snowy they act...

    Help me sex 2 different Gold Laced Wyandottes (and 4 others?!)

    phew. Thank you. First time chicken mom here, so I have no idea what I'm comparing them to! As long as the majority are pullets I'm happy. :)

    Help me sex 2 different Gold Laced Wyandottes (and 4 others?!)

    Ok so I got 6 "pullets" from my local farm store. I never thought they'd be anything but this, they said they had a 95% guarantee. Anyways I'm sort of concerned I might have a cockarel in my gold laced wyandottes. Their coloring is just SO different, but neither of them really have any comb at...

    Putting chicks outside full time

    lol!!!! Well my husband is just playing along with my chicken rearing. I have 2 year old twins and instead of another baby he let me get chickens! haha! But we both are ready for them to move outside! Now that I can tell him it's "safe" for them to be outside, maybe he'll finish up the pen quicker!

    CHICKEN RAISING VIRGIN

    This is what mine looked like last week. The barred rocks and rhode island reds (the 4 to the right) just have a few more feathers on their heads this week, and the wyandottes (the littler ones to the left) have grown a ton this past week and have gotten lots more feathers. Last week the 4...

    CHICKEN RAISING VIRGIN

    haha I just posted the same question pretty much! I am in the same boat in Upstate NY. They are outside all day but I move them inside at night. But I think they'd rather be outside full time. Their brooder (yup right word!) is getting small for them. How old are your chicks?

    Putting chicks outside full time

    I live in Upstate NY and it's been in the 50's-60's during the day but in the low 30's at night. I have 4 chicks that are 6 weeks and 2 that are 5 weeks. The 6 weekers look just about fully feathered to me, and the 5 weekers are close. They have been outside all day every day in a small pen I...
