My rooster Vlad always takes the girls up against the coop for safety. So does this not only make him feel safer but it's also dry. The entire run area is covered with wire anyway....but Vlad is a tiny roo and thinks he's "saving" his girls from hawks:) Stickers and striped table cover from...
Using genetic charts, calculators, voodoo, witch craft, or you actually know the answer what will my new baby chick look like?

Questions;
Color - Black or Splash or something else ?
Size- bantam cochin or tiny Rosecomb...
My coop is a large insulated shed. A storm door for me in the center and each side for these chickens and those chickens. Instead of “doors” we installed 2 windows we found on clearance. We pull open their windows then push them closed at night.
OK! so my favorite thing is to design stuff using...
We got this "roo" about 2 weeks ago and the lady was convinced it was a roo. She couldn't tell me how she knew. I've looked at pics and read a bunch of old threads. He's (?) our first Brahma so I am just learning about them. I have 3 cochins, so I understand size and a slow maturity. So what do...
My Amberlinks lay huge eggs. I have one that lays bullet shaped eggs. But lately the top has this rough dark spot that if you slightly push on it cracks?
It’s said that chickens prefer to roost flat footed. They keep their feet warmer and don’t tend to get sores.
I’m letting people know about this stuff. I was making roosts and ramps while we were having a door installed. I covered the 2x4 and 2x6 roosts and the ramps. The ramp had the little...

This is Carmel now. I posted the first pic back in Sept. everyone said she was a Buff. Ummm she’s red with a black tail 🤷🏼♀️ We should have named her Cinnamon instead of Carmel 😂😂
Any Cochin people?! Is this a normal or rare color??
I have two Cochin chickens, one I think will be a Buff and the other a Partridge. We let them out to runaround the living room. They are hilarious and the yellow one does the best “flight checks” I’d love to catch her on video. All of our chickens have come in and played with or mastiff and her...
My playhouse coop and attached regular coop have leaks which will all be fixed when my giant clear tarp comes this week. But the sand got wet and it has furry mold on it just overnight. I’m extremely allergic and have asthma attacks from mold so I realize it’s important to get it away from the...
I want to buy automatic doors for both my coops. Are there any with wifi that can be controlled on one app? I really want a way to check a few cameras and open/close doors with one app. Do I buy doors with wifi? Or plug electric doors into a home hub or something? Help. I'm not a IT specialist...
She’s now 16weeks, got her at Wilco. The sign said blue rosecomb bantam. I was excited to see the large white earlobes. She’s not blue, and definitely has the wrong earlobes and is so small. She does have a rose comb. What did I get?
Also can fly like a actual bird!
Kitsap County. Almost 1 year old Salmon Faverolle Rooster. Takes good care of 5 hens, breeds a lot. Will not eat until he puts the girls to bed first. Then goes to a separate run to go to bed himself. If ya can catch him, he’s really calm to hold. But has been known to run at us from behind...
My hens all almost a year old 3 Amber Links, 1 Barred Rick and a Gold Laced Wyandotte. We got a Salmon Faverolle Roo from a friend. On day 3 found out he had lice and a scratched eye. He’s been in is own house and run (shared fence) for 2 weeks had 2 dust bag treatments and eye ointment every...
Our rooster Pearl was found dead yesterday, he was a 8 month old silver silkie and really did a great job taking care of the 5 hens. Our 3 9 month old Amber links didn’t really listen to him, the Barred Rock not so much either, but the gold laced Wyandotte “Dottie” was stuck to his side. When he...
