    8 week old black copper marans

    Trying to figure out if this is a pullet or cockerel. The comb was coming in strong and I thought boy, but the feathers aren’t screaming roo to me. What do you think?

    Deer block?

    Hi! My chickens have been loving flock blocks as a treat. Our local Tractor Supplies don’t have any though. They’re loaded up on deer hunting stuff instead. Can I give my chickens one of the deer feeding blocks that looks like a flock block? TIA!

    Balancing m/f ratio to keep flock

    Hello! In April I got a group of Royal Palm poults to raise up. As is the way of things I wound up with 6 toms and 1 jenny. I would like to keep as many of the turkeys as I can, but I’m also not looking to get any more. I found raising them indoors to be a miserable experience. I have read that...

    Emergency incubation - I have no idea when these eggs will hatch

    Hello, Longish post ahead: I have never incubated eggs before. We got a Nuture Right 360 at Christmas time, but then when spring rolled around I got some turkeys and decided not to incubate chicken eggs. In the meantime, one of my hens went broody. We decided that if we weren’t going to have to...

    TSC Amber link pullet?

    Got this one from TSC. 4 weeks old. Supposed to be an amber link pullet. I assume the “link” means sexable. I’m getting cockerel vibes though.... Unless the production breeds just mature faster? Until now I haven’t had any “production” chickens. Thoughts?

    Chicken portraits!

    I just wanted to share pics of my first flock. I hope this is the right place! Peep: Peg: Tiki and Tofu: Dusty: Piper: The chicken math is kicking in, and I likely have roosters I’m not going to be able to keep, so we got 3 more littles to grow out:

    Help with gender- 8 week lavender Orpingtons

    I have 2. I am confident one is a cockerel . He’s got feather pants, and my daughters heard him crow a couple days ago. He is also taking forever to feather up. 8 weeks old and he’s still raggedy looking. The other.... I’m not sure. I would love for it to be a pullet. Feather came in faster, and...

    Do I need to teach my chickens to keep themselves cool?

    I had my 7 week olds in their run today while I was in it working on putting up the aviary netting. They are not outside full time yet. They take field trips. Anyway, it’s 91 degrees today, but feels like 99 because of the humidity. Field trip got cut short because they don’t seem to know how...

    Attaching hardware cloth

    Hey! We’re just about finished with our coop, and have started the run and are ready to put up hardware cloth (and a door). I have a question that I’ve spent way too much time thinking about: Do you attach the cloth in the inside or the outside of the wood supports? I feel like there might be...

    3 weeks old. Any strong feelings?

    Hello! My family is just starting out with backyard chickens. We’ve had 6 chicks for the past 3 weeks and I’m curious about these 3. I have 2 lavender Orpingtons and one porcelain d’uccle. Let me know what you think about gender! I’ll start with the d’uccle, Peep. Peep is a sweet sweet baby...
