    Roo update

    Just wanted to share an update on my Luci here. Today he and the other 3 are 20 weeks. Still no eggs from my two pullets but waiting patiently. For weeks the other roo has been trying to mate unsuccessfully with the girls but for some reason, Luci shows no sign of interest. He tends to peck the...

    DIY Coop in progress

    This is where I’ve gotten so far. The long side at the front will have double doors for cleaning purposes. One side end will house 3 maybe 4 nesting boxes with a flap to retrieve eggs. Will have a 2 inch opening along the top of all sides except the front that will be covered with hardware...

    Direct sunlight?

    I read somewhere that hens need x amount of sunlight per day for egg laying. Can someone explain this? My chicks spend majority of the day from 5am to 4pm in a covered run that’s also covered by tree limbs. I don’t think there’s much if any exposure to sun. Do I need to move the run to an area...

    Another pullet?

    This is Stormi. My 4 chicks have seemingly paired off into 2’s. This one prefers to stick to Peppa who some of you have identified as a cockerel. The most easy going of all and the easiest one for me to catch. I noticed my two white ones have different leg colors. Does that mean they’re a...

    Pullet or Roo?

    Meet Angel. This is Luci, the spotted cockerel’s sidekick. They stick together like glue!! It’s like follow the leader and Luci is the leader. They don’t interact much with the other two. I’m thinking white leghorn

    Cockerel?

    Meet Luci. This one was so bad I named it Luci after the show Lucifer😂 Appears to be the flock leader. Either 12-13 weeks. I haven’t heard any crowing yet. I love them all but this one’s my fav and first in line for snacks.

    Breed ideas!

    Newbie here and I have 4 chicks I’d like help identifying the breed if possible. First up is Peppa, fingers crossed it’s a she. Purchased 4 weeks ago at a festival nearby. Should be around 12-13 weeks old. Loves to fluff up at all the other chicks but tends to get pecked and bullied the most...
