    Can anyone help me identify this breed?

    I got these two a few years back and can not remember what breed they were for the life of me. I'm sure I'll remember it once I hear it again, but I would love to get more like them and cannot remember what they're called.

    One of my EE laid a blue egg but hasn't laid another one for about a month. All of my other chickens lay brown eggs and she's the only blue layer. They free range but they all lay in the coop boxes. She is at the age to start laying, and I've only gotten one egg but she hasn't laid anymore. Is...

    When to start free ranging?

    I have a few new chicks for this season and they have been staying in the coop and run, but when can I safely allow them to free range with the older chickens? The new ones are still a little small but they are feathered out and are doing well outside. Also how long should they stay in the coop...

    Guinea Pig Temperature

    My sister's guinea pigs have to stay in the basement due to my allergies. We have a thermometer down there that says it's 63ºF. Is that ok for them to stay down there or should we find a new place in the house?

    Is this enough for their safety?

    We got rid of our last rooster that was supposed to be a hen. Out of our 9 pullets, 4 turned out to be boys that we had to relocate, and two vanished.

    Are they laying and I just haven't seen the eggs yet?!

    Our chickens are out of their coop from around 6:30am when I let them out in the morning to when ever it starts to get dark. They go in when the sun starts to go down and than I just close the doors to lock them in for the night. When they are out they have no land boundaries. They haven't...

    White Silkie cockerel FOR SALE - Northern Pennsylvania

    We originally purchased him as a pullet this summer, but he has proven to be otherwise. He is around 5 months old and he has a very good temperment. I really wish to not get rid of him but we need to because of how small he is in comparison to our other birds.

I've been told to put a lamp inside their coop to make it...
