Well I'm going to hope that there are only 4-5 males, cause these are all hatchery stock, ordered the rainbow layer package from McMurray, so if they turn out mostly male, They'll be hearing from me The barred rocks are eventually going to an area with my other barred rocks on my...

Thanks for that, Hopefully I won't have too many males, otherwise I'll just get more females to handle it. I don't like getting rid of my birds so I'd rather add than subtract lol. I'm colorblind so deciding what's what is sometimes hard for me to do. but thank you for your help. I...
I know some of these are EE and some are Barred Rocks, I think I got 1 cockerel barred rock, most of these should be pullets though. Half of them have feathered feet, but I don't know half of there breed. So any help would be great deciding what some of these are lol. Thanks in advance...
The little yellow ones are like, on crack or something, they started running back and forth when I put them in the brooder, ate and drank then ran some more, they've started to settle down but it was fun to watch The dark colored feather foot stands different than the rest of them, it's like...
Well got my chicks today I got from mcmurray, got myself a little assortment of rainbow layers, then got 1 EE roo, + the 1 surprise they send, so 27, had no doa's and got them all in the brooder, they are a bit confused by the space they were given but I guess they'll adjust, I have no idea...
Went to look at some random chicks yesterday but they were all sold oh well!
Off Topic: And then the other night me and a few friends were passing a graveyard ( out in the middle of nowhereville, not a house in sight) when we saw 6 sets of little eyes glowing, so we went to check it out! (...
Wish I was within an hour or so drive of somewhere that did swaps :S I just don't know anywhere around me that I can go to look/purchase other than some random place I heard about in Greenville KY, but I think it's like a flea market, or something like that. I guess I need to get an incubator...
Voted Yes. I don't see them keeping an entire flock in there backyard as there's probably not enough room but if they can manage a few then sure, why not.
I'm not sure if building 2 coops would be better than 1 big one, maybe but dunno. And the wild plum trees are so overgrown they don't produce plums. Everything under them is dead from no sunlight because how many little trees there are, yet somehow the tree's keep reproducing. I plan on...
We don't really have any wild dogs around here. I rarely see coyotes but during the colder months of the year I hear them most every night. It's mostly foxes ( seen more this year than the last 10 ) and raccoon's that are really everywhere around here. And this year there has been a big...
I think what I'll do is build it inside the run and off the ground by about 2 feet, even if it is a big coop I still think that's probably what's best, and will not take away any space since it's off the ground. I'm already going to be putting hardware cloth 1 foot deep around the entire run...
Hello!
So I'm clearing out a bit of my property that has over the last few years while I was here, there, and everywhere grew up on me. There are tons of wild plum tree things, ( there so thorny! ) That have grown up and since I'm clearing it all out by hand, hatchet, and anything else I can...
