    Chicken tractor/spring grass?

There are 6 hens in the tractor. I moved the tractor to a spot I...

    Tractor wheels

    I was just curious if anyone's tried this method on a tractor? I'm currently using 2 modified trailer Jack's which work ok but am interested in making life a little easier. Anyway the design looks interesting if those hinges can take the abuse 🤔 That are some kind of locking 90 degree hinge

    First egg !!

    Found our 1st egg today, a little on the small size but still exciting. I assume it's Chicky the red stars as I've seen her checking out the nesting box but who knows. Hoping to get more soon. Kids thought this was the best thing since Xmas. Also they are 19 weeks old today for info purposes.

    How many roosters

    So I think the white/black named Snow White is a mcmurray "Americauna" EE but I think it's comb is turning red faster, hen/roo? The second one is Midnight, he's looked like a roo for some time but I think he's supposed to be a black star, which should have been easy enough to sex at hatch so...

    Thoughts on our coop/run?

    Finally finished (well mostly) and thought I'd ask what you guys think could be improved upon in general. I would very much like to hear about any security issues, we lost our first flock to a raccoon in May (no skirting) and it took it toll on us. The skirting is 1/2 inch hardware cloth framed...

    Need an experienced opinion

    So this little chick was walking funny, upon inspection it seems to have something on its hind end, should I be concerned? I'm talking about the blackish spot/sac. It had wood chip stuck to it so I rinsed in warm water..

    Will a dog protect chickens?

    We recently had our first batch of pullets killed by a raccoon during the day, which put quite the damper on mothers day. Wife and kids still arent quite over the loss. That raccoon is no longer going to be an issue but I have new chicks coming from mcmurray this week which gives me about a...

    Hybrid chick question

    So I'm very new to all this but it seems that some hybrid type birds are the same but have different names ie golden comet = red cross. I'm wondering if whiting true blue is essentially just a different name for prarie bluebell egger? Whiting true green = starlight green egger ? I understand...
