    When can an adult rooster be introduced to pullets?

    I’ve been looking for a post like this. I have a 20 week old rooster and 3 RIR 20 week old hens. I’ve had them separated. 1 RIR laying eggs for 2 weeks, 1 still waiting. The 2 laying drop when I allow him to mingle and he is very very gentle. The one still runs so it looks aggressive because...

    Help with feed waste!

    The Vanilla air fresheners have worked great keeping the flies away from the food. I seen it on a video and tried it. Was shocked how well it works. Even inside their coop. It’s only good for small areas. I change them every 6 weeks when I light clean the run area. My farmer neighbor made fun...

My son made the whole a little too big 😆. Now My hubby wants to move the entire feeder on the back wall with the auto-waterer, replace...

    Help with feed waste!

    My son made me this one and I love it so do The chickens. Never any waste, it holds enough for over a week. I cut the PVC pipe in half and it snaps tightly in place. I cover it every night and open it every morning. They have access all day long. I have 4 pullets now 15 weeks, 3 Hens 20 weeks...

    I first thought it was Ginger, she’s the Alpha and her comb and waddle are the reddest and largest, but she’s never in the coop?? We always see Sienna only in and out of the nesting boxes. Here is Ginger

    Post Your First Egg Pics-Part 2

    My first egg last Wednesday. So tiny but looks perfect. It surprised me, because it was our small runt RI Sienna who is laying. She gave us 1 more Friday. 1 every other day since. She was 19 weeks old last week. Her 2 sisters haven’t started yet.

    Rooster Behavior so cute.. I Think 🤔

    Over protective for sure. 😊. We got 13 more pullets and separated the Roosters to their Bachelor pads. I think both are worth keeping. Once the 13 are if age the flock will be 20 hens and 2 roosters. Hopefully all 13 are pullets and not any more Roosters... 🤞
