    hen or rooster ????

    We bought this Polish a couple of weeks ago. We were under the impression that it is a hen (we are new to chickens so pardon my lack of knowledge). We also bought a few other hens that are laying eggs. This Polish hasnt laid an egg and hasnt crowed like a rooster. Its very friendly and easy...

    painting the inside of your coop

    I'm building a 8x12 shed that will be the chickens new home. It will have linolium floor for easy sweeping/cleaning. But with the hens pooping while roosting I'm sure it will get all over the place such as the 2x4 studs on the walls and on the wooden nests, etc... I'm wondering if it would be a...

    male or female

    how do you tell a male chick from a female chick? I only have females that I bought from the local feed store, well, I think theyre all females. I don't have any males to compare them to. I don't think it would be as easy or obvious to determine the sex of a young chick compared to a dog or...

    looking for crates to use as nests

    I'm looking for something like a milk crate, but perhaps not that big, to use as nests. I will need to stack them so they need to be stackable (interlock with one another). I was by Home Depot and didnt see anything, Lowes had some but I think they were just too small. If you know of anywhere...
