    Which are the roosters? Cuckoo Maran vs. Dominique

    Thanks! Does a rose comb look like two single combs next to each other, really bumpy?

    Which are the roosters? Cuckoo Maran vs. Dominique

    These chicks are a month old. I know I have three cuckoo marans (one was supposed to be a cockerel), two dominiques, and two barred rock. After weeks of patiently waiting for feathers to come in and figure out who was who (they all looked the same as chicks) the only ones I can figure out are...

    Gold Sex Links OR New Hampshires?

    These pullets are all about five weeks old. The lady had told me some where Gold Sex Links and some were New Hampshire, but she didn't sound too sure.They all look exactly the same now so I'm thinking they are all the same kind of chicken. Their coloring reminds me of the Rhode Island Red chick...

    Jubilee Chicken Flock Updates and Photos.

    Yes, same idea! After I integrate the older chicks, I can remove the wire separating the two brooder parts and give the little chicks more space and let them see the rest of the flock. Then after they integrate I'll keep that as a closed off area in case I need one for the future for broody hens...

    The older chickens don't know what to make of the newbies in the coop. Hank the roo keeps going over and crowing in their faces.

    Silkies are not figuring out ramp...is my ramp not right or do they just need time?

    Maybe my silkies are extra stupid or blind? They don't seem to 'follow' the smart chicken at all (The smart chicken is the copper maran.) She is extra extroverted, inquisitive, and the first to do everything! The silkies are always hanging way back and don't even seem to notice when she does...

    OK, I got the brooder combo finished! Except It still needs a roof type object. The bigger chicks on the right were ruining my socialization with the younger chicks, and they were a great deal bigger than them so they kept on stepping on heads and such. So they get their own section now. I...

    Silkies are not figuring out ramp...is my ramp not right or do they just need time?

    So here's my coop door next to the hen door: I leave the big coop door open often. I have been letting them out for free ranging for progressively longer periods of time for the week. The Copper Maran and the silkie rooster can get in and out of the regular door, sometimes my RIR can too. But...

    And Florence is now laying! She laid one yesterday and one today! I'm so proud of her. I've been building the brooder in the coop. Almost done, need to get some screws in. After that, the only project left is the roost. Then the coop is completely finished unless I find some scrap vinyl...

    How easy is it to keep ducks?

    My mother in law has said that the ducks poo is messier and they poo more. Is that true?

    How Big a Brooder for 6 Chicks? Or, Alternately, ...

    Thanks for the idea of the bricks. I have a few extras laying around and like the idea of them being a nice warming rock.
