    pullet crowing at dawn (urg...)

    We have a 5 month old Speckled Sussex pullet who just started crowing briefly at 6:15am on the dot. We live in an urban area and this is going to be a problem if it continues. I think it's our pullet who is just about to start laying--her wattle has gotten noticeably redder over the last few...

    Can I take pullets out of quarantine?

    I have had two pullets (now 17 weeks old) in quarantine for nearly a month. They seem to be very healthy and happy--they are eating and drinking fine and are perky, energetic, curious, and sweet.

    when to introduce new pullets?

I'm trying to decide between June and September. I...

    how to make roost less smooth

    Our chickens have roosted on a 2'' wooden dowel for a year. I've noticed recently that they've started slipping on it when they're going in for the night and jockeying for position. It feels quite smooth and I think all their gripping on it over the past year has worked out the rough bits that...

    Greetings from Colorado

    Greetings chicken enthusiasts. I've been lurking on this website on and off for the past year so I thought it was high time I introduce myself. I live in northern Colorado and am a chicken mom to three Ameraucanas. We adopted them last March when our friends moved to Australia and the...
