    Gravel or mulch in chicken access yard??

    My coop and run are located in a fenced side yard and I am trying to pick a substrate for the yard, either 1/4 minus gravel (my preference) or playground mulch. The run is a deep litter mulch and this side yard is a bonus area that they'd often have roaming access to. The yard also houses my...

    Mixed Breed Flock 5.5 - 6 weeks...pullet or roo game!

    It ended up that 2, 3 and 7 are roos and the others are hens.

    11 week chicks - cockerels?

    Two "chicks" of mine are 11 weeks old. One is a black copper maran with copper only on the neck and I thought it was a pullet until this...crow/sound that it does pretty often when I peek into the coop. The next in question is this jubilee Orpington, who has had a tall comb from the beginning...

    Do these ones scream Cockerel to anyone?

    The last one is also so nice, so that's good!

    Do these ones scream Cockerel to anyone?

    Awww, that's what I've been worried about but haven't seen any comb color change in 4 weeks and no hint of waddles in the red one yet, so I wasn't sure. They are prone to doing some dancing at each other though

    Do these ones scream Cockerel to anyone?

    I'm still waiting it out to determine who is a hen. These ones haven't significantly changed other than size since they were 5 weeks. Do these scream Cockerel to anyone right now? 1 - spotted is jubilee Orpington 2 - red is an EE 3 - black/white is EE (neck feathers point is coloring, not...

    Is my Cockerel being too aggressive?

    The Cockerel is the one pulling on the other birds feathers but his own are still mainly wrapped pin feathers while the other birds are fluffy and nice looking. I just found that odd. I think I will pen him separate at least at night to let the others have a break.

    Is my Cockerel being too aggressive?

    I hatched 10x chicks and they're currently a little over 7 weeks old. One is clearly a cockerel while the others are all hens (doubtful) or cockerels who have yet to develop signs. My one is a maran x olive egger and looks pretty scrappy compared to the others (feather issue or something else...

    Mixed Breed Flock 5.5 - 6 weeks...pullet or roo game!

    This is my first flock and I have 10x chicks that are almost 6 weeks old that I hatched at home. I want to start guessing how many hens I'll have and of which breed so I know if I want to look into getting spring chicks (I want a good variety). Any feedback would be great especially since there...

    Traveling with a incubator full of eggs?

    This was a long time ago but...I'm traveling with my incubator on day 17 for a 13 hour drive. Incubator will be placed on thick foam and plugged in. I have auto turning trays. Any suggestions for packing the eggs in the trays to keep them from jostling together? A padding that wouldn't affect...
