I have a run and after some heavy rain and time now it is like hard as a rock.
Is there any way I can soften it? Sand maybe? If sand and i just use play sand?
Does anyone know what is going on with my Ameraucana?
Loosing feathers where beard suppose to be and one of my orpington lost feathers around her butt.
Ameraucana is 9 months old.
The orpington is 2 years old.

I am looking for homes for 2 Golden Comets Hens. They are about 8 months old. They are laying and need a loving home. They are healthy and very friendly. I would take them but I have other chickens on their way and have no room. Also I already have two of my own from this flock already.
Please...
This is not a a problem, but I just wanted to share because they sounded so cute.
Recently I changed from pellets to crumbles, they hated pellets. I don't think they liked the taste and or they did not like the effort to eating them.
I have an orpington rooster and had doubts if he was going to be a good rooster.
This morning he started to do the rooster dance and I think it is a good sign.
He does does stomp his feet at me and give me the side stare once in awhile, after I carry him for 10 minutes or so he calms down.
Does...
How height should the roosting bar be for them?
I was going to redo my roosting area in the spring since I don't really see them using it.
Currently it is about 20 inches high. Also I wanted to change out from 1 1/2 to a full 2 inch wide roost.
I am guessing this is a Cuckoo Maran, but I don't know if this is a cockerel or pullet.
I thought it was a Plymouth Rock but the color and pattern is wrong. Also has white gray legs.
My Barred Rock has been make some odd noises.
It sounds like "Urr Wu" when I open the coop door.
Is he practicing to crow? This is the first time to raise chickens and was wondering if this is the case.
He is little over 2 months old.
Not done yet but almost there. Since this is my first build, still making some changes.
The side door the way it opens has to change. I need to put a small window in front of the coop above the chicken door.
I know my orphingtons and silkies are incubating in another machine.
I got these as "farm chickens" from ebay....
This is from the ebay seller.
"Each may be a purebred or cross of leghorn, Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island Red, ameraucana, Marian, Sussex, Delaware, Lavender Orphington, AYAM CEMANI...
I am getting into growing my chickens, so I am a newbie.
Hope to enjoy my new hobby and pets.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am new to growing chickens but I did have chicks when I was young.

Still incubating...
