    Is Sylvie actually Sylvester?

    Hello BYC! A few weeks ago I picked up some chicks at TSC. They were labeled copper maran pullets...but I have suspicions about one being a roo. The one on the left is my question. Comb and wattle have more color than the others, and legs are definitely thicker. I got them on April 23rd and...

    Rumpless Orpington Gene?

    These are my two lavender Orp roos. As you can see one has a classic rooster tail and one has no tail at all. No one is picking on him - he just never grew one. Is this common in orpingtons? (Hens are also in the background for comparison. ) Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    Anchoring Wichita Cabin Coop

    Hello everyone, I am busy at work planning out my first coop in many years. I am using the Wichita Cabin Coop for inspiration, but I have a question: Has anyone ever anchored their WCC to the foundation? The instructions (which I know are really guidelines) indicate to just set the coop on...
