    Non-Layers Picking on Layer?

    We have a small flock of 5 hens, all the same age. We got them as bitty chicks, so they've always been together. Our leghorn just began laying on Sunday (and is already laying full size eggs, woohoo!), which is fantastic for us but doesn't seem to be going too hot for her. The other birds...

    11 Weeks Old - All Pullets?

    Any guesses? The white one with the straight up and down tail is a leghorn. Not sure if that makes much of a difference.

    The chickens slept in their new (but not totally finished) coop last night. There's very little better than knowing those adorable yet horrendously stinky and, at 6 weeks, huge chickies are no longer i my garage! They seem to be much happier, too.

    Those of you with your coops already established, is it worth it to insulate? I'm trying to convince my husband it'll just add to the humid stank build-up in the winter, but he read that leghorns are particularly susceptible to cold weather. Don't want Marilyn's comb getting frozen off. She's...

    Does anyone know where one can have a chick sexed in the Longmont area? My EE is about 3x the size of my other chicks, and way more... feisty. I'm a tad worried she may be going roo on me.

    Hi all! We just got our chicks this week. 5 of them in total. They will be a true backyard flock, as we're living in suburbia and need to keep our number small. EE (though Murdoch's says she's an araucana) Rhode Island Red Pearl White Leghorn Buff Orpington White Rock They're brooding in the...

    ~3 Day Old RIR Chick Pecking

    Thank you! If she keeps it up, I'll quarantine her. It seems the others are pecking her, and each other, back today, so I'm not as worried. And everyone still seems to have their feathers. :) Thanks again!

    ~3 Day Old RIR Chick Pecking

    I have been stalking this forum for 5 years, and had hoped my first post would be about my newbies and how adorable they are. Unfortunately, the moment we got home with said newbies (today), I noticed our RIR is a bit on the... well, uppity side. She pecks the bejeebus out of the other 3 chicks...
