    Bay Area BYCers!

    When I was trying to rehome a rooster I had some success posting on Facebook, there are several groups just for rehoming roosters in the Bay area and NorCal

    2 week old Chicks not using heat at night

    I appreciate the advice! I ended up solving it by turning down the heat on their heat pad slightly, didn't have any issues after that.

    "Just" a Chicken Coop

    I named this article after the motto that emerged for this coop, the thing we said to each other every time we worked on it: "It's just a chicken coop!". Both hubby and I can be a little perfectionist, and we often found ourselves waffling about what would be the *best* thing to do. At those...

    8 wk old Easter eggers

    I agree! I've got some young EEs and this was really the tip off that I had a Cockerel. This photo is of Kuro, my one Cockerel. You can see he's got much different coloring front to back, bigger comb, and if you look closely he's got red on his wings. I think the crucial point was the red came...

    SF Bay area - sweet 10 wk old Easter Egger Cockerel

    Hello all! I have a sweet 10 wk old Easter Egger Cockerel named Kuro. He's already a good leader looking out for the pullets I've got, and I think he's pretty to boot. I'd keep him but I can't have a rooster in the city so he's got to go. If I can't rehome him before he starts crowing he's...

    12 week old Americana/Easter Egger - Roo or Pullet?

    They're all beautiful! My EE roo is only about 10wks still, but so far he's friendly, inquisitive, and calm. No rooster behaviors except that he seems to be the most confident of the 3. I'm actually disappointed that he's gotta go, I'm sure he'll be lovely. My understanding is that EE roosters...

    I’m sorry I’m annoying…

    I'm new to this too, but that first picture shows a pretty pronounced sickle feather or two on it's (his) tail. I don't think you ever get that with hens

    Hubbie thinks there’s a stray dinosaur in our hen house.

    The yolks in the double yolk egg look slightly smaller than the regular one, unless I'm crazy. But wow, that looks like it hurt

    12 week old Americana/Easter Egger - Roo or Pullet?

    That looks like a cockerel to me for sure! I'm new to this too, but here's why I think so - big comb - varied/patchy coloration with red on the wings - clear droopy long saddle feathers - feathers on neck look long and pointy - I think I can make out sickle feathers in one photo but a full...
