    Now they are bigger and I STILL don't know what they are!

    Quote: Some of them have whitish yellow legs, one has really yellow legs and one has green legs. From what I can tell they are speckled sussex, but maybe I got more than one kind? I got them from TSC and they were all in the same bin, just sold as bantys.

    Now they are bigger and I STILL don't know what they are!

    A few weeks back I posted pics of my chicks. Most people thought they were brown leghorns, but looking at them now, they don't look like pics of brown leghorns I have found. I have been assuming they are all the same breed, but one of the roosters has green feet. The rest have yellowish to light...

    Thanks for the advice everyone, she died less than an hour after I posted. At least now I know what to try if this ever happens again.

    My poor little tiny chick is very sick. She is an aurucana and I just got her yesterday, but later in the day she started hanging her little wings down and got kind of wobbly. Then she quit eating and drinking so I separated her with her own food and water, under a heat lamp and today she is...

    What are these little fellas?

    I just got my first chicks ever! They are bantys, but thats all they could tell me at TSC. Hubster and I looked through a chicken catalog and the best we could guess is that they are BB Red or Araucanas, probably the latter. Does anyone have any insight for a complete chicken novice? TIA!!

    Okay. I changed my mind, what do you think of this coop?

    It looks very nice. The only problem I see is that if you calculate square feet (8x4 = 32) and assume each chicken needs 4 sq ft of coop space, then it would really only hold 8 adult standards. If that's ok with you then I say go for it! I am going to use it for about 12 bantys so I think I...

    Okay. I changed my mind, what do you think of this coop?

    Hubster had to explain that the shed I posted about earlier is too big to transport (but thanks to those who replied all the same), as the biggest trailer we have available is only 8 feet... so I got in touch with a guy here who builds custom coops and here is one he offers: The 8' barn hen...

    Converting a shed into a coop, need advice

    First off, I am thinking about buying this shed: I was wondering if anyone with more chicken/coop knowledge than me could answer a couple questions. How do I cut a pophole in this? How do I insulate and ventilate it? It is 10x14 and will be used mostly for banty chickens. Any other...
