    Rose the Delaware -- pullet or roo

    Oops. Forgot to say that she's 5 weeks. Thanks for the reassurance. Seems like I've seen some 5 week old Delaware cockerels on here and they did have more pronounced combs. I wonder if the quick maturing means they start laying early too?

    Rose the Delaware -- pullet or roo

    Any chance someone on here can tell me that our Miss Delaware is indeed a pullet? That pink comb has me worried.

    my coop is finished!

    Oh my gosh. This was such an undertaking. I'm so glad it's done and I'm pretty happy with the result, but mostly I'm glad it's done and the chickens are out of my bedroom! Tips or suggestions for improvement? (But be gentle, please, I'm exhausted and was in way over my head!)

    ramp too steep? pop door big enough?

    I'm finishing my coop tomorrow! Time for the chicks to move out of my bedroom (the only dog-free room in the house.) One question I have before I move the girls in, does the ramp look good to you? I think the slope is probably fine, but I am worried that the opening isn't big enough. I've got...

    Rose the Delaware (pullet?)

    We have been convinced all along that little Miss Delaware Rose was a pullet through and through, but I'm starting to wonder. We never suspected roo because she's the smallest of our flock. But they're all different breeds, so I guess that doesn't much matter. (Her flock-mates are Sophia the...

    Dorothy the Easter Egger

    Okay, here's the 5 week update for Dorothy. Think she's a pullet for sure? I'm feeling pretty good about Dorothy. Her sister, Rose, though, I'm a little less certain. But that's another post.

    How to roof the peak of my A-frame coop?

    Thanks for the response. I've never built anything in my life, so this is totally new to me. I feel like I'm just figuring it out as I go and hoping for the best! Not very reassuring.

    So I guess this means the jury's still out on Dorothy?

    How to roof the peak of my A-frame coop?

    I've been working away on my little coop and I should have it done by next weekend. Good thing, too. These chicks are getting too big for my bedroom. This isn't the most recent pic -- I've got the hardware cloth around the bottom and all the doors on. Still have to do the triangle ends and...

    Dorothy the Easter Egger

    Okay. Here's Dorothy again at 4 weeks. Any signs yet? I think there's just one row of peas, but I'm not sure I know exactly what I'm looking for.
