Noticed a poop similar to this in the run when I cleaned this morning. Been trying to watch everyone poop but have only seen a couple of them do it and all their poops were normal. Still don’t know who it is, but I found this one on my way back in after putting the girls back up from free...
Hello! So I have 6, 11 week old pullets and 2, 8 week olds. This weekend we put the “littles” in a makeshift holding pen inside the run. I allow my “bigs” to free range a few hours a day at different times. My question is, can I let the littles out to free range as well, or should I wait a...
I put the wooden roof off of my son’s old playhouse on the ground for my girls to run under while they are out free ranging. The chickens love running up and down the a-frame and eating the lichen off of it. Any reason I should not let them eat this? They seem to really love it. TIA

This little lady(?) was supposed to be a barred rock but she obviously isn’t. She’s the same size as my Easter eggers so I’m thinking she’s not Jersey Giant 🤞🏼
Got my little ladies 2 weeks ago from Ace Hardware. They are from Hoover’s hatchery. All the rest are Easter eggers but she was supposed to be a barred rock. So far I see no barring? I guess she’s probably close to 3 weeks now. Black sexlink maybe?
First time chicken mama here! We are building an 8x4 coop for our 6 little ladies, with room to expand in the future. My question is, how close is too close to your house. My yard is large and fenced in but it has a lot of uneven ground. Next to our carport is the most level place and I was...
