    Roo or Pullet?

    I have a flock of chickens that showed up at our home in the country. We started with 2 Roos, a hen, and 5 chicks. Since then the momma hen and 1 of the chicks were killed by predators. Two of the chicks are definitely cockerels. One of the chicks is definitely a pullet. I am not sure of the...

    New Flock

    A flock of chickens wandered into my yard - 2 roosters, 3 cockerel, and two pullets. There was the mother hen but unfortunately a predator got her. A very kind neighbor is giving me a coop and run for them. I am not new to raising chickens but haven't had any in several years so I have a few...

    26 weeks and NO eggs!

    Thanks Domestic Diva. I hope that is the answer. She follows my other EEer in the coop when she is laying but just kind of hangs out until she is done. LOL.

    26 weeks and NO eggs!

    I have 2 EE'ers the same age. They are 26 weeks. One has been laying eggs for about3 weeks the other has not layed the first egg. She is not squating too. Is it possible I have a pullet that is sterile?

    How to modify coop/run to introduce chicks? Any ideas?

    In February I bought 2 EE'ers that were a week old. I already had 4 pullets that were 8 months old. Our weather is mild here so when the EE'ers were 6 weeks old (and fully feathered ) I moved the babies outside. My run is a 10' x 10' sand run which is pretty predator proof . I partitioned...

    What are chicken nipples?

    Best thing since sliced bread. I went to a local grocery store to the bakery dept. They had an empty 5 gallon icing bucket that they gave me. I have it suspended in the run with 3 nipples on the bottom. My peeps also took to it in no time. Sure saves from changing water all the time. Now...

    What are you doing to help your chickens in this heat wave?

    It is triple digits here as it is in many places. My run is sand based so I have misted it some. The area is shaded but I know the sand still absorbs a lot of heat. I also have a box fan in their 10 x 10 run. I have a 5 gallon bucket with 3 nipples in the bottom. I filled it half way with...

    training to walk up and into the coop at night?

    I have 2 chicks that are 6 weeks old. I put them in the coop 2 nights in a row. On the third night I went out to their run to put them in the coop and found them already in there. I was really surprised. They have been climbing their ramp into the coop ever since then; about a week now. Mine...

    Chicks crazy at bedtime

    I have my 2 6+ week old EE chicks outside in an area separate from from my 9 month old pullets. The babies use a large igloo as their coop. Anyway, at bedtime they go up and down the ramp to their coop several times. Tonight I watched them for a while. When they come down the ramp after...

    Looking good! I can't believe how much jungle you and your son had to clear. Whew. Made me tired to just think about it. Can't wait to see your updates as you post them.

    Thank you Debid. I get a little nuts when I get new babies - as you can tell.

    Is new chick a roo?

    This is one of my new chicks, a little EE. He/she is only 2 weeks old. I know it is real early to tell but if this is a pullet would she be forming a comb already? What do you think - roo, pullet, or too early to tell?
