    Please help. 21 week old chicken-rooster or hen??

    Hello Everyone! I got my second batch of chicks back in January and I cannot tell if one of them is a rooster or not. There has been no crowing, but there is something about him that just seems like a rooster to me! I had convinced myself it was a hen until last week when I saw him try to mount...

    Need help! One chick died, how to introduce 1 more.

    Hello everyone. Here is my situation, I have a small backyard flock of 3 hens. I picked up 3 day old chicks on Saturday, but 1 died last night :(. My concern is if anything happens to either of the other two, then I will only have one chick to introduce to my existing flock and that seems unfair...

    What time do you let them in/out of henhouse?

    Morning everyone! My 7 week old chicks spent their first night in the new coop last night! I have a manual pop door and scooped them all up the chicken ramp last night at about 7:30 and closed the door behind them. What time do you guys let them in/out of the henhouse to the run?

The plans call for double walls, first plywood then cedar boards over the top of the plywood. We live in the Pacific Northwest and rarely experience extreme cold, for the sake...

    Is this an EE and a Roo?

    This is my hopeful lady, Joanna Gains. She/he is only about 3.5 weeks old so it's probably too early, and was hatchery sexed but she is definitely different from the other 3 babies I got at the feed store with her. I picked 4 different breeds since this is my first experience with chickens and...

    Chick feed?

    First time with baby chicks, what do you guys start your day olds on? I've read a couple different things online so now I don't know what to go with. I would like to avoid medicated, but also don't want my day old chicks not to make it. Any advice would be great! Thanks.

    The Garden Coop...modifications and finished pics??

    Hey everyone! My husband and I are (very slowly!) working on building the garden coop from the plans I purchased on etsy. I was wondering of those who have built this coop made any modifications to the plans (or they would if they build again) that they were willing to share? Finished photos of...

    Hatchery Chicks skittish?

    Hey everyone! Newbies here! We are in the process of building our first coop and are getting excited to get our baby chicks! I was looking into ordering 4 to 5 day old chicks from mypetchicken.com, but I was wondering if these chicks tend to be more skittish than if I find a local person on...
