    Suddenly Loud Chicken

    I have an 8 month old pullet (my top hen) who just recently started climbing to the top of the coop and clucking a deep-throated cluck with another chicken (always the same) right beside her but quiet. Its as if shes standing in front of the reset of the flock making a speech. She does this...

    Always hungry

    I feed my flock fermented feed in the morning and at night and always provide them with other things like fruits, greens, superworms, veggies, oats, birdseed, and occasionally tuna but its like they can never get enough. As soon as I walk out my back door, they are under my feet, hoping for...

    Young vs. Old (sad face)

    About a month ago, I opened up the caged-in part of the coop to let my younger chickens officially move in with my older chickens (all are under 6 months old). Before that, I followed all the steps to properly incorporate the younger ones in with the older ones (range together, caged-off...

    Scared Pullet

    Right now, I have 5 pullets in my coop from 2-3 months old. 2 NH Reds, 2 Black Copper Marans (maybe, still trying to figure that out), and 1 Delaware. Soon, my other babies will join them, but for now its just the 5 of them. My Delaware (Margaret aka Margie) is close with my NHRs, especially...

    The cold will be here before we know it.

    I live in South Jersey so we tend to get a lot of snow during the winter months. I already know how to prepare my coop for winter to make sure the girls stay cozy and warm, but what about stretching their legs and wings? Their coop is a pretty good size (10x5x3.5) but they LOVE to roam the yard...

    They cant be...

    I got my two Black Copper Marans, Dottie & Priscilla, at around 6 weeks old. As they grew, I started to questions whether or not they were actually BCMs. Theyve got BEAUTIFUL blues and greens in their feathers and I thought at one point that if I held them in the sun just right, I could see the...

    Ginger!

    Last week, I posted a picture of my GLW, Ginger, to find out if anyone could tell if she was a she. The problem is, I only posted a pic of her head. So here is a better picture. "She" is the most scared of my new 3 babies and her and my Buff Orp always seem to bicker.

    Pullet or Cockerel?

    I am hoping for some input on my GLW chick, Ginger, who is about 5ish weeks old. We started seeing tiny waddles grow in the past couple of days and are wondering if she might be a roo. Of the three of our newest babies, she is the most skittish. Can anyone help?

Ive just started giving her and her 2 sisters treats (grapes, apples, bananas, oats) in the last couple of days and tonight, after I had just finished cleaning the brooder (just an old lizard tank that Ive used as a brooder in the past), I...
