    All these girls are just under 5 months. They were from a mix from MPC. If you know what they are, please let us know..We have ideas, but aren't sure. This black one, has white lobes, black feet and much smaller than the rest (thus the pic with the rock for comparison). She's also, very...

    You really think so? They all came from My Pet Chicken and were supposed to be a hen run. I'm sure they can make mistakes.

    Remodeled

    We grow people food and chicken food in there, when the crops are done, that area becomes more of a run area. We have timbers down and 1" wire up to keep them out, but they manage sometimes LOL

    We've been raising chickens for 3-4 years now. Starting out expecting to raise 3-5 chickens...at current raising nearly 100. We started with a coop that we attached to our current shed and built a small run around it, expanded it with the run you see in the first pic that's falling down, and...

    New chicks...Can't ID? Help

    Yeah, we kinda figured we'd have to wait a while, but you know it's hard being patient when it comes to chicks. LOL We'll post more pics when they get a bit older and are more feathered out.

    Roosters crowing at night??

    Thanks for all your replies. The girls are all nice and cozy in the coop. The Boys hang out in the yard and roost on the shed. After reading your replies I think maybe it's the light. The house has security lights that have motion sensors. I suspect that critters might be kicking off those...

    Roosters crowing at night??

    Hi Everyone, We have about 10 full grown roosters who free range in the back yard. We have been keeping/raising chickens for about 2.5 years now and are still learning as we go. Before we got them I always thought roosters only crowed in the mornings, well quickly found out that isn't the case...

    FLYS!

    Hi Fellow Chicken lovers, I have about 40 chickens in a coop and very large run/pen. We have had them for about 2 years now and never had a problem with flys like we do now. I keep the coop and run very clean, well as clean as chickens can be. I scrape up poop from the poop shelves in the coop...

    Losing Feathers?

    Hi, A lot of my chickens are losing their feathers. They are missing from their faces and others from their backs and wings. We only have hens in the run so no roos to be pulling them out. I am wondering if it might be a parasite? They are due for a dusting which we do about 3 times a year but...
