I already found out that I have 3 roosters in the bunch (you can see my other post about that,) but now i'm paranoid that the rest are too. I managed to get a few pics of the rest of the flock, they are all 11-12 weeks old.
This is another of one of the barred rocks, if that's what they are...
We have a mixed flock consisting of 2 buff orpington's (had 3), 1 dark cornish bantam mix, 2 barred rocks??, 2 Americauna's, and one silly little guinea.
Ok, here's the deal. We bought 2 buff orpington's when they were 6-7 weeks, 1 buff and the bantam when they were 2 weeks old or so. We got...
Although we are far from finished it is done enough to let the girls in. We took the design from Garm's coop because we thought it wold be great for our hot area. The coop actually stays very cool inside. It is 4 ft x 8 ft, and 6.5 ft high in the front down to 6 ft in the back.

I am so upset right now. We have been trying to incubate our first batch of eggs. I have been having the kids keep a journal on the progress of the development of the eggs. It so far has been a fun experience.

We also thought she was about 2 weeks old, which would make Pecan almost 3 weeks now. Is that right? She looks younger than...
I just got 2, almost 3 week old buff orpington chicks and a dark cornish bantam(??) from a man that put an ad out for day old chicks. The chicks look ok . They are eating and drinking. Playing with their little perch, scratching around in their little pine shavings but a few times a day I see...
Somebody just gave us 18 RIR eggs and I was wondering if I could add them to the incubator if I already have a batch in there going? I am on day 5 of the current batch.
If it is even possible, do I have to move the other eggs to a new incubator for the last few days or can I leave them with the...
Hi there, this is my first experience with hatching chick eggs...well really anything to do with chickens for that matter. I have wanted to raise chickens for a long time now but didn't think I could.
Anyways, I just have a few questions. I just started my first batch of eggs 4 days ago. We had...
