    How do I know if this is a bantam??

    I got three chicks from our local farm supply back in the first week of April. Two of the three ended up being roos and had to be re-homed because we live in a neighborhood with RCs :( Anyway, the one remaining pullet is lonely and I have been searching for friends for her that are about the...

    Sweet boy needs home :(

    My three daughters each picked out chicks about 2 months ago. My youngest daughter's chick cocka-doodled today, and we cannot have roos in our neighborhood. She is crushed (she's only 4) and I really want to find a good home for him. He's really sweet, fully feathered and outdoors. We are in...

    My Playhouse Coop is DONE!

    I finally finished repurposing my daughters' playhouse, and I'm pretty happy with it! Here are some pics. . . I built both ladders and I've subsequently filled the entire ground inside the house with sand. I also added another 1" x 2" to the side of the perch that they are pictured...

    If using sand, what should I put under that?

    I'm trying to figure out where to place my coop. The best place seems to be under some trees in a mulched area (old mulch/dirt, not fresh mulch). I'd like to use sand is my litter, but I'm wondering what I should put under that inside the coop? If you scoop/stir it up, wouldn't it just get mixed...

    Hanging coco baskets for nests??

    Has anyone ever used them? Do hens like them?? I was searching for a low-cost alternative to building something from scratch. I got two, but I may see how my 3 babes do with just this one for now!

    Chicken Feed/Treat Cheat Sheet??

    I am new to chicks and have been reading through many of the posts on feeding and treat options. Is there a master cheat sheet or list here somewhere so I can keep it all together!? If not, maybe we could start one (not sure if that would be like a Google doc or a pinned thread by the admin, or...

    Newbie: Chick ID

    I've been scouring the internet and questioning my several friends who have chickens--all with no good answer as to what breed one of my three baby chicks is! One friend says Barred Rock, one says Orphington, but I don't think she/he fits well within either of those. It has markings kind of...
