    Rooster: Wattle has some discoloration

    That could be. I don't live in an extremely cold place, but it has dipped down to 11 degrees, in recent days; only to rebound into the 60's. Crazy weather. Thank you!

    Speckled Sussex

    I have Speckled Sussex breed. They are 4month and I am wondering myself if a couple are roos. Their tail feathers are pointing up, and fan out slightly.The ones that I blieve are hens seem to have more compact tail feathers. Truly, I am still unsure. I wanted six hens and now it looks like might...

    Everyday is Turning into an Adventure

    The chicks are going to be 4months old. I don't know when they become adolescent, but they are definitely on their way. Yesterday, they were out grazing most of the morning. About 2:30 - 3:00 I wanted to get them back to the coop, before I had to go to the work. I got four chicks in and the...

    HEADLINE: Chicks Hit Paydirt

    The chicks this morning are on the move,this beautiful morning, as they dashed over to the compost bin. Apparently, there is, much good eating. This is fine with me, since the MENACE HAWK is probably lurking, not too far away; waiting for the chance to pounce. If they stay close to the shed...

    I like your idea of the rubber owl, but aren't the chickens afraid of it?

    Let chickens be chickens

    Now, I'm playing a game of "chicken" with the hawk(Pardon the pun). This morning I was visiting the chicks and rooster, and while I was standing there, the chicks froze and sounded the alert. Lo and behold, the hawk(read bully) comes and lands on a tree branch, directly across from the coop. I...

    Let chickens be chickens

    I understand that crows are helpful for deterring them. But, that wasn't the case yesterday. UPDATE: I let the chicks out again, not to be bullied by the hawk. Five are out in the yard, but in proximity to shelter, and one is staying home in the coop. My guess is, she was the one closest to the...

    Let chickens be chickens

    I let the chickens out to graze this morning, after spending a day in doors (so to speak). I don't want to interfere too much into the chickens world only because I want chickens to be chickens. If I stay out with them to long, I start to micro- manage their movements. Go here! don't go here! Go...
