    Red barred rock?

    Thanks Egg! I'll go get a picture of the comb and post it. I did have a Wayndotte rooster that had a single comb. He was the very nice to look at but mean as heck!

    Red barred rock?

    I got this puller from a co-worker who told me she ordered red barred rocks. I can't find anything on this breed. She looks more like a wyandotte but I can't tell. Any help?

    This is definately a roo right?

    It hasn't started crowing yet but I have an older Cockeral who is the alpha so that may be why. Not really sure about the age, should be around 15-18 weeks.

    SLW Cockeral for free In Portland, Or area

    Maybe didn't know you could ship larger birds. You would have to coach me through some packaging and shipping instructions, but if it's reasonable I don't see why not.

    Benefits of having a male bird

    Quote: Great story. We have a Roo named Sid as well. It began life as Nancy but when it crowed you had to rename him and Sid it was! He is a SLW with a single comb and is Guardian and sometimes treat finder (he pulls the fake out move quite a bit as well). He is not friendly but not really...

    Egg Laying Increasing

    we got our chicks in June they are about 28 weeks old and two of them are laying a Barred Rock and EE. They have both started in late Oct and have increased their production. They have seemed to be hampered by either the recent cold weather we have had nor the shortening days. It may just be...

    Coop Building Materials

    Welcome Bob from across the river. I just built a similar coop but just used kiln dried standard 2x4's on top of an existing cement pad that was an unused kennel. I used cheap ply wood and clear plastic corragated roofing sheets. My coop is uninsultaed and my little flock of 7 seem no worse for...

    Water is freezing in the coop

    try a seedling warming matt. It's only rated to raise the temp 10-20 above ambient. I have been using one during a long cold spell in my uninsultaed coop for the last week and it has worked great.

    Got my flat panel coop heater!

    Wow I feel bad, my poor little chickens must be freezing! We have recently had extremely cold weather here is Oregon (cold for Oregon that is). It has been as low as 9F here and I finally put a seedling heat mat in between two pieces of plywood and put a waterer on it. It also has a bit of extra...

THe coop temp this morning was around 19f and it was 16f outside. This was taken across the hen house from the heating pad. I need to find a better...
