    Interior Coop Pics

    I have Two layers and four new chicks in a little pen under the inside roosts with a poop board lid. Even though I bought four girl chicks, I’m pretty sure one is a little rooster. I’ll have to get rid of him before he starts to crow, per neighborhood regs.

    Interior Coop Pics

    I got a Lowe’s shed and Covered the floor with a piece of sheet vinyl flooring on sale for $15. Wood shavings, poop and water can’t hurt it. I do have their main waterer out in the run so there’s very little moisture inside. I cut my own windows in the shed for lots of ventilation (4 windows)...

    Definitely a Roo

    I think I have a rooster too. All these chicks are the same age - about 5-6 weeks

    Just wondering because of the larger comb, slimmer size and more aggressive personality than the other three chickens.(All different breeds)

    No eggs...

    The feed bag says since 1896. Just kidding. I don’t see a date but it is manufactured here in town. And of course I didn’t seek advice from the feed store kid - I just mentioned it when I went to buy a new bag of feed a couple of weeks ago since its where I bought the chicks. That’s why I’m...

    No eggs...

    Gladly! They have a nice 2 nest coop with attached aviary - roosts at 3 ft, 4 ft and the one they like is about 5 feet. They also have an attached run that’s 6x7feet. They have pvc feeder that’s constantly filled with laying pellets and self watered bucket with cup drinking plus a water pan...

    No eggs...

    Well, I hope that’s the answer, however I’m in Central Texas where there’s really plenty of daylight and the best weather temps of the year. They look really healthy and happy although they don’t eat much of the laying pellets. I give them snacks (small amounts of leftover fruits and veggies)...

    No eggs...

    I got 4 baby chicks from feed store in March: Wyandotte, Rhode Island Red, black sex- link and red sex-link. The black and red started laying at 5&6 months and died quickly from egg binding, according to feed store girl. The other two beautiful, healthy looking hens still have not laid one egg...

    Chick in Texas

    Beyoncé died

    Monica is a pretty Wyandotte. Maybe she laid the pink egg. I wish I had a good pic of Beyoncé - gold bling necklace, green tail feathers. She was a looker.

    I raised four beautiful hens from spring chicks. Phoebe, The red sex-link started laying one egg a day in September. About two weeks ago, Beyoncé, my gorgeous black sex- link just dropped dead (fell off the high perch?). Phoebe continued to lay for the next week and Rachel, the RIR layed one...
