    young rooster - testing us

    Our rooster is about 20 weeks old, and starting to test the waters. It's been a couple weeks since he started challenging the dogs. Today, when I let them out of the run, he came really close to me and was acting very dominant. He was staring at my shoes (I was wearing Crocs, I swear I read on...

    ROO or Dominant Behavior???

    I have a light brahma who I posted about last week in the forum "what gender is this?" It was a toss up if it was a roo or hen... Anyways, today I witnessed some odd, first time behavior. The light brahma was half way up the coop ladder, and my Buff girl was at the food dish. THe light...

    Okay, I have a 5 week old light brahma that was bought as a pullet. It has feathered out slower than my other light brahma, and although they weighed the same at 2 1/2 weeks old, it looks bigger now. It's more confident than my australorp and BO, but just as much as my other light brahma...

    Automatic Vent- No electricity!

    So I starting thinking that the vent I've used for my greenhouse the last several years might work really well for a chicken coop for automatic venting in hot weather. There is wax inside the cylinder that expands and contracts, which opens the vent. The warmer it gets, the more it opens. No...
