    Cream Legbar Sexing Help

    I hatched 5 CCL chicks a week ago. I initially thought there were 3 pullets and 2 roos, but now not so sure. I think 2 are obviously roos, one obviously a pullet, but not sure about two others. One looks like a female but has the tiniest white dots on its head...like a millimeter.

    Recommendations on Paint Type?

    Anyone have recommendations on the type of paint that is best to use inside and outside of the coop? I would like something that is resistant to mildew, easy to clean, good coverage, etc but also not toxic to the chickens. TIA!

    Supposed to be 2 White Leghorn pullets

    These are supposed to be 2 White Leghorn pullets hatched the same day. The comb of one is larger and more orange. The other one has several black feathers on her body. Are they both pullets? Are they both white leghorns? Lol

    Coop Height--Does it Changes SqFt Requirements?

    Would the number of chickens appropriate for a 5x5 coop that is 6.5 ft tall be more than the chickens in a 5x5 coop that is 4 ft tall? Ill have elevated roosting bars and nesting boxes. Or is the amount of floor space the only factor that matters?

    Help Please... Swollen Crop?

    We have 12 baby chicks, and several of them seem to have swollen crops. They are 3 weeks old. My husband doesn't think they look swollen, but to me they do. They ate alot of insects 2 days ago. Is this something we should be concerned about? If so, what do we do?

    Does anyone keep their flock at a property away from their residence?

    We would like to have more room for our flock, but love our house and don't really want to move. Has anyone bought a lot for keeping chickens on? If so, any tips for making it work?

    Hatching Eggs from Multiple Sellers, One Order Delayed! :O

    I ordered rare eggs from 2 sellers, after making sure they would both be shipped and delivered at the same time. But now one set is arriving tomorrow, and the others haven't shipped! 🤦🏻‍♀️I only have 1 incubator. How long can I wait before hatch rates start going down?

    Been lurking the forums forever, and finally decided to join. :)

    Hi, all! I live in the suburbs of Houston, Texas. Growing up, many of my family members owned farms and ranches, but I was always raised in the city or the suburbs.
