    Hi everyone! We bought these chickens from Tractor Supply about 6 weeks ago. We were told when we got them that they were about a week old at the time. We have two Barred Rocks (named Sugar and Spice), 2 Silver Laced Wyandottes (Cookies and Cream), and one Starlight Green Egger (May). Can...

    Desert Chicken Retreat, Anyone?

    What was supposed to be a simple chicken coop and run that took a weekend to put together ended up being a desert chicken resort of sorts that, to date, has taken us 5 weeks to complete (this was a "spare time" build) and is nowhere near simple...at least not for us. 😁. Because of the heat, we...

    Help with high outdoor temps!

    I need some help. We built a coop with about 10 sq ft of ventilation (pics are in this post: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/az-coop-deville.1626766/post-27790672) Along with the ventilation, the coop has been moved to where it is mostly in the shade, and we installed a mister system...

    Our roo, Moe, is stunning, but we have NO idea what he is.

    This is Moe. We got him when he was just a few days old, and was told he was an ameraucana hen. HA! He's stunning in person (the pics don't do him justice), and we'd just like to know what breed/cross breed he might be. He's got feathered feet, and a bit of a mohawk thing happening (hence...
