    Steny03's Great Chicken Adventure Project!

    Hello, I've had chickens for a couple years now, and finally want to start on a project I've been thinking about for a while now. My flock consists mainly of black Australorps, with a couple of black Jersey Giants. Last year I accidently ended up with a blue splash Cochin rooster, and despite...

    what color am I?

    I have a lovely bantam cochin roo in my backyard flock. So far he's been great....not too loud, easy to handle etc. However, I'm not sure of what to call his coloring...is he just grey....or blue....or splash...and if I end up keeping him, what is the likely color of his offspring if I cross...

    Little Cochin Bantam Roo...breed or not?

    Hello! I have a question that I hope I can get some good feedback on. This year I picked up three little bantam chicks, and ended up with one dude. Well, he's grown on me and unless he's crazy loud, he'll likely stay in my back yard flock. I believe he's a blue or blue splash bantam cochin...

    Bantam Adventure

    Hello!! I just recently picked up three little bantam chicks, and hopefully they are all girls. I thought it might be neat to start a thread where I tracked how they are growing up. So here it goes! I'm not sure how old these chicks are as I bought them from a feed store. Here's my original...

    Bantam Bin Guessing Game

    Yesterday I was at a CAL Ranch store in Nevada, and couldn't help but take these three cuties home. I was hoping that someone could help me ID which breeds I've most likely got, and if one is a roo. Here's chick #1. It's the oldest of the three, but I'm not sure how old it is. It's brown and...

    Molting or not??

    I have spent last night googling and scouring this website, but I cannot find any photos that are similar to my Biscuit. I *think* she's molting...but I'm not sure. It started with some of her back feathers looking downy...and now she has a small bare spot on her back above her tail. Now, the...

    Easter Egger chick colors?

    This might be a silly question....but..... I am interested in adding a couple Easter Eggers to my flock this spring when my local co-op gets their chicks in. However...I am wondering if there is a way to tell what color they will be when adults? My current flock is 5 black australorps and...

    Winter Storm

    Today while I was at work a blizzard rolled in, and now we have several inches of snow on the ground. I had left the run open so my 6 girls could could free-range if they wanted to, as there was no snow on the ground and it was a balmy 48 degrees this morning when I left. When it started to...

    Integration......How Long?

    So I need some advice. I have four 23-25 week oldish black australorp hens that I have had for almost 2 months. On Thursday I added two additional 15-20 week old new hens, another black australorp and a silver laced wyandotte. For the first day I had the new girls locked in the run, with the...

    New pullets! Now...how to introduce?

    Hello all! I currently have 4 Australorp hens who are about 20 to 24 weeks old. Their pecking order seems pretty well established, with one hen being the obvious leader. There has not been a lot of pecking or fighting amongst themselves. They were all introduced at the same time to the run and...

    Any hope for my coop?

    Hello! I foolishly bought a coop online beleiving it would be the cheaper way to go, as lumber, etc, is so much more expensive where I live. The coop is suprisingly roomy, but I have an issue....The nesting boxes are higher than the roosts, and my new pullets are currently sleeping in the boxes...

    The tale of the Henitentiary

    Hello! I'm starting this thread with the intentions of treating it as journal of my chicken adventures. I'm hoping to be able to look back on this thread and see how I've improved, etc. Sort of like having a record of what works and what didn't . I'm extremely new to chickens! In fact, I...

    What to do when the girls first arrive....

    So this may be a silly question, but I can't seem to find the answer here on the forum. My girls (15-20 week old started Australorp pullets) are due to arrive home early June. We will have the coop and run finished and secure by the time they get here. But what do I do the very first day I get...

    Hello from the High Desert!

    Hello! I've been a long time lurker on this forum and have made the big decision to jump into owning chickens! They haven't arrived yet, but I'm pretty excited. Soon I will have 4 started Australorp hens for my backyard. They won't arrived until early June but I can't hardly wait! I have so...
