    Help! Do I have 2 Roos

    I ordered 3 Lavender Orpingtons - 2 hens and later added a Lavender Rooster. I "think" I might have 2 roosters. Opie was marked as a rooster from the start with a blue marker on his belly that was easy to see...then his comb and waddles came so that was easy to see. But about the same time...

    Sand Vs. what else for run?

    For fun here is a picture of our run with the sand. Mind you we are still working on our coop so our birds are in the run -- lots of ventilation and totally secure. This quickly became a monster of a project! Hubby is working on the feeder hopper now because when he starts the coop he will...

    Sand Vs. what else for run?

    No, I emailed Gulf Coast Sands and they called me back to tell me that Bomgaar's was getting it in their stores to try it on a retail level. The manager at our Bomgaar's was not a very pleasant person at all and was shocked when I finally called him back and told him "I don't know if you have...

    Sand Vs. what else for run?

    Oh the first 56 bags were bought on Amazon but now I am able to get it from Bomgaar's which is so much cheaper ($10.99/bag vs $21.99 a bag from Amazon which seems to just increase each time I look at Amazon).

    Sand Vs. what else for run?

    I am also a new chicken momma and understand your concerns with "what to use in the run?" questions - I have mulled over the same questions/concerns and feel this is trial by error as we go along. We just finished our run (12X24) and have 14 chickens that are 11 weeks and 12 weeks (by 3 day...

    “Chicks Dig it” premium Sand

    I am! But I wouldn't use it in the brooder just because they might eat too much of it. We are new to chicken tending and are just getting going. My husband and I took on the adventure of building our coop/run because nothing we could purchase was big enough for the long run. Ended up buying a...

    Anybody tried wrapping their roost bars in rope?

    I found this helpful because we are building our coop now and I was planning on rope wrapped roost bars but now rethinking this.

    The Personalities are amazing

    Sorry this is a tad long but I wanted to share with like minded folks as this has been a fun experience so far and I am really enjoying every moment. As you all know, I am very new to chickens and started off with 14 (got 2 extra) chicks. I got a little of everything to be honest. I read...

    Chicks with chicks

    Thank you!! This sets my mind at ease. So far they seem to all be doing well…noticed today that my Orpingtons are getting their combs now. Truly, this whole experience has been one new thing after another but I’m enjoying it all so much ❤️

    Chicks with chicks

    Very good point! Funny story -- I was watching on the cameras this morning during a meeting and noticed one of the older birds made it into the inside of the littles enclosed area. Poor big girl was so confused as to how she let that happen and was freaking out - chirping SO loudly! I got her...

    Chicks with chicks

    My new babies from MPC arrived this morning. My husband helped me configure some foam board with hardware cloth so the new babies can see the older babies (5 days between them). The batch of 9 turned into 11 when we picked them up last week (a week today). They are thriving! The new babies...

    The babies are here!!!

    Thank you, the first couple days they were able to get under it (from when the pic was taken) but they grow so fast, so this morning while cleaning their brooder, I angled it like shown in your picture and they are now getting under it again without issue.

    The babies are here!!!

    I have a video but I can’t seem to post it. However I posted a pic of them in the brooder after getting them settled and of the start of our coop. But we ordered 9 chicks and we got 11! They got here Wednesday and seem to be doing great. I’ve had a couple with tiny poops on their butts that I...

    We have Boston Terriers so I am familiar of needing to watch the large birds as well when they were babies. We also have Coyotes, coydogs, owls, Bald Eagles, hawks, racoons, and weasels here... Good luck with your hatch as well! Please update when your chicks hatch!

    Welcome! I am new to chickens as I have never even been around them. My husband used to help his grandmother with her chickens so he is not as green as I am but I have also been here doing a lot of research. What kind of dogs do you have?

    Coop camera

    I came here looking to see if anyone had suggestions for cameras and after looking through everything, I decided on trying a Tapo camera too. We haven't gotten out coop built just yet but we do have the pad where the coop will go. I hooked up one of the cameras and took it out to the pad and...
