thank goodness, im gonna trust my other two are pullets aswell

sorry, does pullet mean female?

barred rocks! i absolutely love this breed for their pattern and how talkative and curious they are

i will admit, i did not research beforehand, but since i got velvet and her (hopefully) sisters, i’ve done quite the research on absolutely EVERYTHING. i’m still unsure about if i’ll get a premade coop or build my own

hi, i’m trying to gender velvet as shes showing more.. rooster behavior? she flaps her wings quite a lot while the others dont as much as her, she attempts to crow? i think. and her coloring is just much more roo like, help? sorry for the bad photos, she doesnt like to stand still

her heat source is a heat lamp, and her bedding are wood shavings

her housing is still inside, shes only a week old and its still pretty cold where i live, she eats like normal but this crop is at all times, her behavior she’s pretty flighty, very jumpy and talkative, and she doesnt seem too lethargic

hi, im back but with, less happy news. the other 2 chicks are okay healthy and happy but velvet has a concerning looking crop. im very scared she might have a swollen crop. but in cuter news, whenever i hold her she just flops into my hand and falls asleep

when i got her, only a day or so, now shes a week

hi, my older chick seems to always wanna be with me, she cries out for me to come and cuddle with her daily. she hates being in her tote, even if its really nice and cozy in there, baby 2 doesnt like cuddles as much as velvet does. is she just cuddly or does she only feel safe with me? i’ve...

rn baby 2 is asleep, she prefers to be alone and i’m gonna give her that alone time, me and velvet are cuddling rn !

i would absolutely love some help, coops are expensive by what i can see, im wondering how much it’d cost to build one?

hiya! im already saving up for a coop!! velvet and her new sister are now about a week old, in the next week or two i’ll have enough to buy a small coop for them or even build

its going amazing!! velvet and her are slowly getting along :)
