    Multiple chicken groups

    It is getting a bit complicated than what I expected. So, When I moved to this new house, I bought a nice chicken coop with 15 hens and 3 died after winter. I noticed that 4 of them are not laying now or very inconsistently laying. So, we decided to cull them next month. Then, I bought 6 chicks...

    Girl or boy? What do you think?-EE and Sliver laced Wyand.

    They are between 6-7 weeks old. I think they are male, but what do you think? I were labeled as pullets at a feed store. But, sometimes errors can happen? Especially, the EE is a lot bigger than the two and has impressive feather in its neck. Thanks!

    Broody Orpington

    I have read that buff orpington tends to go broody than any other breeds. I have a blue splash orpington. Would different orpingtons go broody like buff? Also, I hope to hatch some eggs from her. That means I need to separate her from the flock. Now, when she is ready to go back, would she have...

    Can a hen by her self in a small coop?

    I have a bully hen I need to separate from the flock. I have an extra small coop in the run. It is cold winter here in Michigan. I am wondering if she can be by herself in the coop without heat for a week or so. What do you think? Thanks!

    waiting for the first eggs

    I have 9 pullets that are 21-23 weeks old. (ISA, EE, BCM, OE, Orpington, SLW, CCL, Barnevelder) It is pretty cold in Northern MI. My chickens get 3 hours of additional light. I haven't seen them squatting yet. Should I expect to see eggs soon or not this winter??

    Bare spot

    Hello, a couple of my 8 weeks old chicks show bare skin underneath their wings (size of a coin). I haven't noticed pecking going on or I just missed it? But, what else would cause bare skin? By the way, I purchased them as 6 weeks old. Thanks!

    Orpington egg color

    Hello! I am getting a Blue orpington this week. My question is do all orpington lay the same or similar color eggs? For example, Blue orpington would lay the same or similar color egg of buff orpington? Thanks!
