    Time for nighttime coop integration?

    Hello All! I've been working this last month on integrating 4 chicks (now 9 wks) with 2 pullets (5 mos). I have been working on this since the chicks were 4 wks old, and just this last week the older ones finally stopped bullying the younger ones, and I no longer have to keep the younger ones in...

    Dog crate as temporary coop?

    Hello All! I am integrating 4 chicks (~8wks) in with my flock of 2 pullets (who are about to start laying) and it is slow going. I've been bringing the chicks inside at night but that will not be possible much longer. There's no easy way to block off a part of the coop, so I'm thinking of using...

    Buff Easter Egger sex? 6 wks old - pics!

    Hi All! I can’t find much info on this color EE. My other has a standard female partridge coloration. What do you think, pullet or cockerel? Six weeks old today, bought as sexed pullet but it was the only buff in the box, the rest were all partridge.

    Am I doing this right? Introducing chicks to older hens

    Hi All! I have some five-week-old chicks I am introducing to my 2 five-month-old hens. I was given advice by someone on this forum to start the introductions sooner rather than later.

I will have them in a separate attached enclosure for the first two weeks, so they won't be thrown in together right away. I have suspicions one of the 4 chicks is a roo. It's a BA who is not...

    Chick unusually mellifluous (trilling?), should I be worried?

    I have three baby chicks and one, an Easter Egger, doesn't sound like the others. Rather than little peeps, she has a multi-tonal song like trilling. It's very pretty but I've never heard a chick make sounds like that before (I've only raised five). Reason I'm posting is because this chick has...

    RIR with other breeds

    Hello everyone! I posted a week ago about my ISA hen who was a rooster (a very handsome one at that). Thank you all for helping me positively identify him - I found an amazing home for him with other chickens and kids. He will have a wonderful life. My flock is now down to two, a Barred Rock...

    ISA Brown hen has all the signs of being rooster except color

    Hello All, EDIT: I've posted a picture below! I have a 12 week old ISA Brown hen (all orange with a bit of white) who I would 100% identify as a rooster if it weren't for her color. She has long spindle neck feathers, is growing in thin saddle feathers, has a huge red comb and wattle, is twice...
