and shes supposed to be an americana...

so not a rooster?? :)

Can you help? I bought Ripple at like a week old and she is supposed to be a hen but looking more to me like a rooster.

i love all of your ideas... where can i find the nipples for the waterer? what are they called or really used for? thanks

Thanks for all the help and suggestions! You guys are great!

I can kind of see what you guys are saying but I don't know it still creeps me out... seems like giving a baby a placenta or fetus.

Thanks! This week I need to get some shingles, make a cute sign, and find bright colored crates for the interior. Th holes are not wired but I will if that is a safety issue. Out of curiosity what could get in a little hole like that?

work in progress

Darn I don't know why... I can see them.

Working on this little thing was so fun this weekend! I can't wait to add more next weekend! The best part was that my little chicks were with me out in the yard hanging out the whole time I worked. Tootsie was an excellent chick sitter :) More to come!

I don't understand giving baby chicks boiled eggs... I'm very new to the chicken world but the idea of babies eating eggs of their own kind sounds kind of wrong to me. Am I crazy?
