    Guess what chicken laid this egg?

    I have 3 breeds that lay brown eggs. But I haven’t had others to compare the shade. Do we think it was my RI Reds, Black Australorps, or Barred Rocks? My white leghorns are laying, but of course theirs are white. So I know this is one of my other girls.

    First egg!!

    We have raised our pullets since they were 2 days old. Our 20 week old white leghorn laid her first (and our first) egg today! I am so excited! The other pullets are actually 22 weeks old, so our youngest actually laid the first egg! They are different breeds. Super cool!

    I posted pics of my chicks not too long ago, and we identified this one as a cockerel. Indeed, he is hahaha. Very large and in charge!! Sweet boy so far!!

    How’s this look???

    Hi! It’s me again! I posted a few days ago about how I bought a pre-fab coop before I knew any better (but we built our own run). So now I just need a better coop. We have 10 chickens. This is a 6x10 Amish built coop. We are on a time crunch and don’t have time to build our own. It’s a 6x10...

    Shed-to-coop users

    Anyone using a shed and converted it to a coop? Like an 8x6? I posted in this forum asking about advice and someone said a pretty cheap & easy route would be using a shed. Which one did you buy? I don’t want to spend an arm and a leg, but also don’t want a “cheaply made” one. Provide pics if you...

    2 coops?

    Hello there!! My partner and I got our 10 chickens (one of which we will be giving away because he’s a cockerel) about 10 weeks ago. When we got our chickens, we knew about the 8sq ft per bird for building a run. So we built one ourselves & just attached our chicken coop to it. Alas, we had...

    Gender double checking

    This RIR is a pullet, correct? I still have trouble differentiating genders. 9 weeks old as of yesterday.

    Rooster?

    I posted not too long ago. Just coming back to see the consensus again haha. All pictured here are 9 weeks old. Even based on these pics alone, it’s definitely looking like a male, right? (Also taking advice to keep chickens cool. We do ice trays with water &bricks for them to stand in, but...

    Chicks in the house?

    I am new to raising chickens and I had our chicks’ brooder in the utility room of our house. I read somewhere that you shouldn’t have your chicks in the house because breathing in the dust from their brooder can be dangerous. They are now outside and I actually moved their brooder outside for...

    Hi, I’m new here! :)

    Hello! I have 10 chickens! 3 Wyandottes (or what I thought were wyandottes but am now confused because someone here told me they were not & I also questioned it myself beforehand 😆), 3 Barred Rocks, 2 Rhode Island Reds, and 2 Leghorns. :) The Leghorns are 5 weeks old & the other 8 chicks are 7...

    Possible Roo? Or too early to tell?

    I have 10 chicks. They are a couple days older than 7 weeks now. This one seems to have a large/red comb & its feathers are kind-of greenish towards its bottom? There is another of the same breed (Wyandottes) in this picture for comparison. I feel it’s pretty evident which is which (Lol).
