    identify?

    found this guy/girl in my chicken yard this morning. Not good with snakes. Any idea what kind? I have managed to catch it and put it in a big bucket for my husband to deal with later. It's small, I looked for more or a nest or egg shells but didn't find any. Just wondering what I had in there.

    2nd coop

    Started a second coop as a grow out pen for new chicks say 4 weeks to about 10-12. Looking for suggestions on similar builds. This one being built out of a trampoline frame. I framed in the front. I have an old aluminum storm door for that. Going to put tin on the bottom in front yet with...

    Anyone use a metal bunkbed?

    I found a used metal square-post bunk bed, double bed size with the removable desk under. For the price all I could see was a new chicken house. Wondering if anyone else has ever used one to make a coop. In Kansas our winds can get ridiculous even on the hilly east side of the state and I...

    Chicken Tractor in progress

    I have 4- 6 week old black australorp pullets that we wanted in their own separate girls hangout. I scrounged around the property for whole and partial pieces of wood, tin and scraps. We had most of a roll of hardware cloth left and we have a lot of night predators so we're using that instead of...

    Our mutts I guess.

    We hatched out a mixed bag of chicks after getting eggs from a farm that has Rhode Island Reds, Barred Rocks for sure and it seems a whole bunch of others. We even have some 4 toed, heavily feathered legs and feet, almost all black smaller chicks. Have to wait to see what they are. These are...

    First chickens, 5 weeks old now- no questions yet, just saying hi

    My husband and I bought hatching eggs from a farm back in August and used a home made incubator he made. He raised chickens solely for meat as a little boy hatching a few at a time on his own and I grew up in a chicken raising family, 100 at a time for meat, but we always ordered our chicks. My...

    1 week old chicks, but might need to go out of town

    These are our camera shy 1 week olds. We have 22 total. Just found out tonight that my father-in-law is in poor health and we might have to go out of town. Its a 14 hour drive. So we'd be gone for a day or 2. Our retired neighbor has had chickens and has been over often, fully capable of...

    Combos of BR. RIR and ?

    We got 28 eggs from a farm that supposedly only has RIR and BR and combinations of the 2. All we wanted was to start chickens for laying eggs, no breeding down the road, but we're trying to figure out what we got and some of these we think we've sexed already because of the coloring. The...

    New from Southeast Kansas

    Hi Y'all, My name is Tammie and I haven't owned any of my own chickens ever. When I was a teen we raised 100 or so chickens every year to fill the freezer and that was it so its been almost 40 years since I've had any. My husband and I have been talking about it for the past 4 years, finally...
