    BCM Egg Color

    I got my BCM from the local feed store, which ships them in. I was reading that BCM from shipping don't tend to get the super dark chocolate-colored eggs unless you get super lucky, and that you only get the dark chocolate color from locally bred. Does anyone have experience with color variation...

    Polish won't go into coop

    My 10 and 9 week old chicks have been full-time outside with their 26-week old sister for the past 3ish weeks and all of them have been going into the coop on their own at dusk for the past week...except for our Polish girl.

    Jersey Giant not happy

    We've had our Jersey Giant, Allegro, since she was about a week old. We have handled our chicks daily, although she didn't get picked up AS much as the others, she was still handled and petted and picked up. She is now about 5 weeks old, bigger than almost all the others (as we expected) and...

    Outside-ready?

    I have 2 chicks that are 5 weeks old and 5 chicks that are 4 weeks old. The pictured one is 4 weeks. Is this enough feathering to move them outside? Here in Oregon it's 50s during the day, 30s at night. They would be in a plastic dog kennel at night (or I could move them inside at night if I...

    Separating temporarily?

    So I had to rehome two cockerels who were supposed to be pullets and weren't, leaving one pullet alone outside until my chicks are old enough to go outside. Here's my dilemma...I was going to move them all out at the same time (run next to the big run, with a dog crate for shelter for a week...

    Solo (Temporarily) Hen Question

    I have 3 pullets age 18 weeks in my outside coop and 7 chicks inside about 3-4 weeks old). Turns out 2 of my "pullets" outside are actually cockerels and I can't keep them. I have some potential roo homes lined up but my question is should I send the pullet with them as well or should I keep her...

    Barred Rock Pullets?

    I have two barred rock pullets I got from craigslist awhile back. They're both now 18 weeks old. However, one has feathers all down her feet and she has brown on her so I'm not even sure she's pure barred rock. But the OTHER one has yellow feet (except for a shadow down the center of each foot)...

    Bedding in Run?

    Still working out my cleaning/sanitation system and I had to ask: Do y'all put bedding down in the runs themselves or just in the coop? I'm relocating my coop in the backyard from a semi muddy area to a very grassy area and I had put pine shavings down but the area I want to move them to is much...

    GSE Treatment - Not Drinking Water

    Grapefruit seed extract. My pullets started having yellow runny noses and nasty smelling breath a couple of days ago, but they are bright-eyed and active and otherwise seem fine. No wheezing but they have been sneezing a bit. I don't need to isolate them because they're the only 3 in the coop...
