    Pullet or Cockerel???

    Ihave these two 5 wk old chicks. They are curious and seem to dominate the other babes. I think they are a few days older but they are much bigger. Are they hens?? Is it too early to tell?

    Is THIS Broody Behavior??

    I don't know if anyone is following this thread except me. . .but it seems she is just broody. Once the temperature dropped a few degrees she began running around pecking all of the other chickens so she was back to normal and for once I was glad to see it. Now I just can't wait until the...

    Is THIS Broody Behavior??

    Update: She has been out of her box all morning which is the longest time since she started brooding a week ago. But she just stands still and falls asleep.

Like Goldilocks! We keep building new boxes at different heights and locations and light exposure. One thing that...

    What can I do to make my chickens quiet?

    oooh! I'm going to try that! 6am is so noisy in our coop. We are raising in a neighborhood as well. They want to get out of their run and free range and won't stop making noise till they get out.

    OK Los Angeles...

    Hi! I'm new to the site. I live in North Hollywood with a small gang of young chickens. . .and a few that turned out to be boys that I'm trying to get rid of. I've tried a few feed stores locally where they laughed when I asked about poultry supplies. I've heard the Red Barn in Tarzana is the...

    Hi from Los Angeles!

    I am so excited to join the BYC community! I have wanted chickens my whole life but, being a city dweller, thought it was impossible. I learned that if you have the space you can have chickens in LA and I do, so I got 'em! They are so fun! I have a batch that are 6 mos that I raised as tiny...
