I have two older girls, and I recently got a flock of pullets because I thought they needed to have more to be healthy (mentally), so I ended up buying 7 pullets, all around 14 weeks of age. They’re disease free, gone through their quarantine and they’re accustomed to the new coop.
I’m not sure...
I’m trying to currently find friends for my two birds. Recently, their third member died and I went down to two remaining birds.
I live in PA, and was hoping to find a place that sells pullets still? I’m struggling to find a place still selling pullets for this year. Does anyone know of any...
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
Red Sex link, nearly 3. She doesn’t feel heavy, lighter then the others but bigger looking.

Currently bought the Omelet, I have the coop itself set up, I didn't like the run when I saw it in person but I have technically a 13 feet run. I didn't think it looked stable.
So instead I bought a relatively big dog run (10x10 I think?) And in the process of just securing the bottom with...
So I live in lower Swatara, I read here that you can't have birds in the county, unless agricultural and 5 acres?
I'm wondering how accurate it is, because I looked it up and all it says is you can't have nuisances and animals like horses, pigs, cows, geese, etc. No mention of chickens, just...
I‘m pretty new to chicken care, I’m actually looking into a good coop. I have the other materials because I’m into researching these things. So I don’t have any, I’m trying to actually get some and need help with finding a coop.
I want to honestly get into chicken care because a) I love...
