I'm guessing "Rihanna" top left to be a Roo. I really hope not. We also have two baby polish bantams which I am praying to be hens too I can't face getting rid of majority of my babies :(

We got told at purchase they were all girls. Now 9 weeka old. I'm not too sure. Can anyone assist? Thanks. P.s we are not allowed Roo's due to a miserable neighbour :(

Who wanted indoor chicken pics? It was a one off, I promise haha xx

The poo was my only issue, and they obscured my view of the TV haha

My husband brought our 5 (now 4 girls) into the house last week, due to the thunderstorms. Never again, they seemed to like the brief relief and getting dry/warm but I didn't like the poop. They have all since been at the kitchen door wanting to come in, I think they enjoyed the remnants of...

This is exactly the same. Mine has the hideaway area that the rabbit uses in winter when we bring him in too, but I figured the chicks could use it to roost or hide, I have an unused dog kennel out in garden that the girls love to hide/seekseek bugs into. As soon as we are back from holiday I...

I have been reading through this thread. Would I be able to use an indoor rabbit hutch, the plastic type, with a mesh overlay? I know I will need to sort the flooring so it's not slippery, then I was going to swap to another rabbit hutch at side of coop, to integrate them with my other girls? Thanks

Can anyone assist or give me some guidance?

We only have hens just so you know :/

My girl Shelley, a white star 20 week old laid it this morning. Bottom egg, just for clarification, and was I correct to not eat it? Thanks

Thank you, I will source these from the UK now. Really appreciate the advice, I was getting to panic stage about leaving the hens for the day

Looks great, I wish my hubby was handy at making things, its up to me to make the flat pack purchases in this house x

Any tips on keeping my 5 girls in fresh water? I have a bell hanger (forever being knocked or tipped) hanging from run An old dog bowl full of water, forever being perched on knocked over and a parrot cage cup, clipped onto wire (handy as catches all the rain water we get over here in England)...

Thought it about time I said hello. I've been stalking/gaining much helpful information for the past few weeks (since becoming Mum to 3 sister Rhodies, which has subsequently turned to 5 girls) ;) So here I am, I'm Stacie. My husband persuaded me fresh eggs would be a better option and the boys...
