    Update - I finally stopped counting eggs when we hit 300! Our 305th egg was on Aug 24th, just a little more than 2 months after our first egg! :D

    Sharing (badly drawn) plans of the coop/run we’re building!

    Thought I'd share a little update.... the girls have been in their coop/run setup for almost 7 months, and so far it has been perfect! Zero sign of any rodents, and no predators have made even a noticeable attempt to get inside - the biggest predator we really have around here are racoons, but...

    Thoughts about diatomaceous earth

    I’m starting to research chicken worms prevention and deworming. My girls aren’t showing signs of being infested, but I have heard that, Because of where I live, I need to make sure and deworm them. One friend said that diatomaceous earth is great and they use it as prevention, but an older...

    Sharing (badly drawn) plans of the coop/run we’re building!

    Just updating with a pic from right after the girls moved into the coop-only portion. They were in there for 1 week before we opened the coop door giving access to the run. They have now been in the coop/run for 2 months and it’s been working just as we wanted. :) And I don’t have a pic, but we...

    16 week old comb size - chicken or rooster?

    Okay so it sounds like this is still within normal female comb size… That’s a relief! It just looks so big I was scared she was a boy. 😅 We did just open their nesting boxes for the first time a few days ago because we know they’re reaching the age that this breed normally starts to lay- so I’m...

    16 week old comb size - chicken or rooster?

    My chicks are 16 weeks old now and I am still paranoid that one of them is going to turn out to be a rooster. 😅 This girl’s comb is recently noticeably bigger and redder than the others. They were all pretty similarly sized until this past week when this girl’s has grown a lot. You can see one...

    Normal amount of feather loss?

    My flock is about 11.5 weeks old. There seems to be a lot of feathers in their run & coop. But none of them have any noticeable bare patches. Is this just normal molting for growing chickens? Pics of the areas of the run that have a lot. I do know one of these corners where they prefer to dust...

    Our flock - 10.5 weeks old!

    Here are pics of our flock. The girls are about 10.5 weeks old now. They are all getting so big! They have been out in their coop & fully enclosed run for 3.5 weeks. When we are spending some time outside, they get to come out of their run and free range around the backyard for a little while...

    Help confirming sex of barred rock chick

    All of our chicks had white patches on their heads when we got them as day-olds. 😳

    Help confirming sex of barred rock chick

    This is Margaret. Or so I hope! She is the only one of our girls that is making me worry she might not be. I have read that boys have way more white than girls. And that their feet don’t have as much dark on them. She is overall a little lighter in color, but I think still more black than...

    Sharing (badly drawn) plans of the coop/run we’re building!

    The nesting boxes are built out and the roof of that section is done! It still needs a latch and also a method to hook it up on the wall while collecting eggs. We built the nesting boxes dividers to be removable for easier cleaning. Here’s a view of inside the coop showing how the nesting...

    Yikes that’s scary! Can a hawk get through half inch hardware mesh? We will have to add something there if that is an issue.
