    Cackle “Chocolate Eggers”

    Did they know the gender? If they're sex linked they'll probably be the majesty maran, with a light dot on the top their head iirc. If the chick is all black it's probably a different maran. Pure black copper Marans are also a little harder to come by in general

    6 month old Pullet stopped laying

    Thank you everyone for your responses! To answer some questions: - they get limestone as calcium supplement - she's not laying somewhere else (not free range) - I live further south, and this started in September, and none of the other pullets have changed their laying habits, so I don't think...

    6 month old Pullet stopped laying

    Hello all! I know questions like this are pretty common but I still wanted to ask in my own way. I have 6 pullets. 2 EEs I bought in March, other 4 (OE and 3 Marans) were bought in late May. They were separate until late September when I managed to integrate them successfully. Up until that...

    I also outsourced the application of hardware cloth to my partner 😆

    Thank you so much! I got a real kick out of reading yours as well. Just today I was doing some pythagorean math for another project and realized that for the coop I'd been using the formula wrong :barnie I would love to see what you end up doing for the siding! On that topic I will note that...

    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...
