    Standing up not perching down on roosting bar while sleeping

    I recently installed a camera in my coop since my ladies started laying and I was trying to see who what laying what. I’ve noticed two gals stand on the roosting bar most of the night instead of perching down tucked in like the others. Picture below of one for reference. They appear to be...

    Who laid? (Butt/vent pics included)

    Got our first two eggs from our flock of 5 two days ago in the morning. I doubt they’re from the same chicken since i had last checked and cleaned the coop 18 hours before I found both eggs in the morning. We’re trying to figure out who did it. Can you help based on these vent pics? All...

    What is my olive egger a mix of?

    This is Hoagie Elizabeth Wizwit. Hatchery information said “Our Olive eggers are f1, meaning first generation, and are bred from Black Copper Marans, Welsummers and Ameraucanas.” I’m thinking she’s Black Cooper Maran (brown tones on her neck feathers) and Ameraucana (her lovely beard and...

As you can see in the pic the shells are cracked and seemed a little weak and small. I’ve read numerous posts on here and would like to confirm if my...

    18 Week Black Australorp Gender

    Here’s my beauty! Previously it was thought to be a pullet. Their comb is so pretty and bigger than my other chickens but they’re all different breads so I know it can vary. 🥰 Is it still looking like a pullet?

    Should Run Be Covered Now?

    Our temperatures are starting to drop. This week we range from mid 50s overnight and mid-high 60s in the daytime. The chicks are 5 weeks and almost ready to sleep outside (still sleeping inside but in the run all day) but I’m curious if I should cover the run bottom half as well with plastic...

    How does anyone get any work done with chicks?!

    This little one (Hoagie) loves to just hang out on my shoulder while I work all day. How am I supposed to get any work done with such cuteness? As soon as I take the lid off the brooder they jump up and make their way to my shoulder to just hang out.
