I have a Dominique rooster that is about 5 months old. He is beautiful but sadly he has to go; roosters are not allowed where we live. We are willing to meet you as long as it's not too far. Will post a picture later today.

Sorry, we actually found a home for him. This post is from 2012

Hi! I'm sorry, I just saw this! We attached it to the ceiling of our coop and ran a wire to a timer for power. Our coop is attached to our garage which has electricity so we just put the timer right inside the garage. Hope this helped!

So we have 7 chickens in all, one of which is a Jersey Giant. She is usually very laid back and sweet, none of the other chickens seem to mess with her and she doesn't mess with them. Shes not at the top of the pecking order but usually has a confidant look. However, she has been molting the...

I think because it keeps them from being so bored. They like music just like we do :) We had a radio on a timer to just play in the morning and that seemed to keep them pretty quiet. Its broken now but they haven't been too noisy so we haven't needed to get another one.

Her eggs are deep brown with dark brown speckles. They may have some connection!

I see. Ok, cool! Thanks everyone!

Actually the striped one is a Cuckoo Marans. We've had her for about a year. And the one on the left doesn't really seem like a silky mix. She's bigger and she only has regular feathers. I've heard about top hat chickens--could she be one of those?

We just got two new chickens and I was just curious about what breeds they are. The new ones are the one on the left and the middle one in the picture. Any input would be great! Thanks!

I just introduced my 5 month old Buff Orpington into my flock of 5 last night. This morning I went to check on her and the back half of her comb was torn off and I think one of my other chickens probably attacked her. I cleaned the wound with water and I have put neosporin and corn starch on to...

feather13: We actually just put the radio inside the coop on a pretty low volume. They make noise during the day sometimes but in the early morning it usually keeps them quiet.

Oh ok. Thanks!

We have a Black Japanese Bantam that is about a year old now. When we first got her, she was laying an egg almost every day but recentlyhas been laying an egg everyday for about a week every month or so and then she will just stop. And then about a month later she will do the same thing. She is...

Sorry it took me so long to post this! We put a radio in our coop on a timer and its been working great! They make noise in the afternoon sometimes, but they are usually very quiet in the mornings. I just wanted to let you guys know :)
