Hi all! I havent been here in quite awhile! Hope everyone is doing great. Im looking for photos of polish roosters, to paint. I'd like a close up of face, well, whole head. If I could find a hen and roo head would be great. Any crazy feathered head chickens will work. So if you dont mind...

I am so sick and disgusted by my current coop. Im building a new one. I am planning built out nest boxes to access from the outside and save space inside. I keep LF mostly. What is the size of an appropriate sized nest box? Length, width, height and depth? Thanks in advance.

We swore we would never keep roo's again after bad experiences. Buuutttt...my hen hatched 3 chicks and 1 is a boy. He is exactly 6 months old today. So far so good. He's not crowing yet, nor mounting the girls. He stays away from us, showing no interest even if we pick up a hen and she...

Found Chukar. Its been living in my daughters yard and she's been putting food out for it. It keeps coming onto her porch. I know nothing about them, so I have no idea if she should do anything or if its ok just being wild. She has no other poultry.

My daughter lives in PA, and this little bird comes onto her porch numerous times a day and pretty much has been living in her yard. My daughter has been feeding it. I have no experience with quail, but I think that's what it is?

One of my little cochins has bumblefoot, both feet. She is very heavily feathered on her feet. Should I trim them? How low can I go before causing blood? Ive never had to treat for bumble before, but luckily, I know how from the many posts on here!

Im planning to build this coop this spring. My problem is, I want to put it on wheels. I'd like to build it on a trailer, but Im too poor to buy a trailer. Can I make a trailer? I really need a way to easily move it from one part of the yard to another. But the coop I build will be pretty...

Ive come across a person that breeds Croad Langshan. They have photos of their eggs as being very pink. I screenshot a photo of her eggs but not sure if I should post it, as its not mine. Any how, how likely do you think it is that they are really that pink? Before I go spending money to get...

Ive exhausted my brain searching for a hatchery that has the breeds I want. So here I am to ask the experts. Which hatchery has the most breeds? I want some: BLRW, LF cochin, Marans, Orps other than buff, Sussex, Dark Brahma.

I am fed up today! Im so sick of my coop, my run, the mud. It seems like a darn daily battle. My coop doors are cockeyed and not shutting properly so Ive rigged up a bunch of boards and HC to keep out predators. But now, every time I have to access the coop, I have to take it all down, then...

Its been 3 weeks that the TSC has been out of PDZ. This happens a lot. Anyone tried anything else on their poop boards? Wondering if the chickens would try to eat cat litter? Probable right, they try to eat everything. Sigh

Got the picture of him actually eating my hen! The girls were heading to the coop for the eve and this red tail swooped down and grabbed one. My sister scared it off, but the damage was done. It's dark now, but last I saw the hawk, it was in a tree nearby. First time I've ever had a hawk attack...

This is my buff brahma, Pidgey. She's around 1.5 yrs old. My flock was attacked by a possum and 2 of the flock killed, this happened about 3 mths ago or so. Ever since then, her color has been fading. I have no idea whether the attack had anything to do with it, besides the timing. Since...

So, I hate raising babies in the house. I decided for the first time to let a broody hatch some eggs. Everything went perfect. Babies were accepted into the flock from day 1. But...those babies are not friendly at all. They actually act feral. I don't keep a lot of chickens, so they are...

When can I expect eggs again from my bantam Cochin? She hatched babies 4 mths ago.

3 months old. This one I'm pretty certain is a cockeral. He's a mixed breed, father a phoenix. This one is mixed too, phoenix father, who knows what mother. Has black legs and black comb. Same shaped body as the one above. Black Cochin! My favorite. Pullet, pullet, pullet please...

Opened the coop up this morning and this bird walks out. Have no idea where it came from or how it got into my coop! Anyhow, its free ranging with my chickens acting like its been there its whole life. Is it a Barred Rock?

That tonight's gonna be a good night! Ok, no, that's a song. Lol. My chicks are 11 days old and I feel like this yellowish one is going to turn out to be a cockeral. Don't know why. I might sound like a loon here, but I held each chick and tried to get a vibe from them haha. I felt a boy vibe...

Rats and mice were living under a bunch of pallets I threw behind the coop. It was infested! Today, i waged an all out war! I found a lot dead from poison I've been putting out, but a lot still alive too . What I've done: I jacked my coop up on cinder blocks, removed everything, shavings and...

I had a broody hatch 3 chicks. They, and mama, are in a cage inside the coop. They are 7 days old. How do I go about letting them around my 6 other hens? I cant keep them in the cage forever! Will mama protect them? The other girls have seen them since day 1 of course, inside the cage. Im...
