    Chicks got wet

    Hello. We had a wonderful hatch of 31 chickens yesterday, and put them in a tote overnight with a heat lamp and somehow the water leaked all the way out and the chickens are soaking wet. I put them back in the incubator with a few more that had hatched overnight. They’re covered in water and...

    Golden lace Wyandotte a roo?

    Hi. My birds are about 10 weeks and I’m suspecting this one is a cockerel. Am I right? I’ve been trying to get good pictures of the little bugger, but you know how it goes. It’s a bit aggressive to the ladies, so I’ve been watching. Thanks.

    Easter Eggers 10 weeks old gender

    I’ve got a few EEs. I’ve not had any before, so I am fascinated by the differences I see in them. It’s pretty funny since some have beards and some have Mohawks they are beautiful! I wasn’t looking to get a rooster, but I could have. I’ll post a few pics so you can inform me. Thanks.

    Help with ventilation issue

    This is my first winter with chickens. We had a great spring, summer and fall, apart from a few predator deaths, but they love free ranging. So far this winter I’ve lost two hens straight off the roost. We have a flat corrugated plastic roof, rain tight, corrugated metal sided coop that backs...

    That’ll teach you!

    I have 10 hens and one rooster. Mia Sparkles (granddaughters got to name one each, so that’s what you get :)) is pretty much the lowest on the pecking order. She’s a SLW, but with unusual markings. Anyway, she gets chased away from the feeders and waterers by the “more important “ hens...

    Roosts stink

    I’ve searched the BYC for a bit and can’t find anything addressing my problem. I have two roosts made from branches found in our woods. We have a poop board underneath with PDZ on them—works great. We use the deep litter method—again, great! My problem is that the roosts stink like urine. Is...

    Too funny not to share

    This is my BO, Norene. She’s named after my late mother, whose ashes we are burying tomorrow. This Norene is the only pullet who jumps into our laps and chats for a while. Anyway, my hubby captured this picture . So ready to be captioned, right?

    SLW chicks have me wondering.

    I have 15 chicks, all around 10-11 weeks old. I know I have at least 4 SLWs out of 7 that are male, but not sure about 2 of them. I’ll show some pictures. They are from TSC @ .50 a piece, mind you, so their feather quality isn’t consistent. The first pic is of one chick, a feisty small fry...

    New chicken keeper in Ohio.

    Hi to all! I’m a city girl who is now on 10 acres with paddocks and a barn and a log cabin. Never, ever did I imagine or aspire to being a country mouse, but it’s been great so far! Our first animal here is our cat “Kitty,” who came to us starving and wormed her way into the house. In March we...
