    16 week old comb size - chicken or rooster?

    My chicks are 16 weeks old now and I am still paranoid that one of them is going to turn out to be a rooster. 😅 This girl’s comb is recently noticeably bigger and redder than the others.

    Normal amount of feather loss?

    My flock is about 11.5 weeks old. There seems to be a lot of feathers in their run & coop. But none of them have any noticeable bare patches. Is this just normal molting for growing chickens? Pics of the areas of the run that have a lot. I do know one of these corners where they prefer to dust...

    Help confirming sex of barred rock chick

    This is Margaret. Or so I hope! She is the only one of our girls that is making me worry she might not be. I have read that boys have way more white than girls. And that their feet don’t have as much dark on them. She is overall a little lighter in color, but I think still more black than...

    Sharing (badly drawn) plans of the coop/run we’re building!

    Alright, I thought I’d share the plans we came up with for the coop we’re building. These are just my hand-drawn scribbles and absolutely nothing is to scale… but here they are! 😂 Built to house 6 chickens (although we currently have 7 chicks). We basically scoured the internet for weeks and...

    Do barred rock need bigger nesting boxes than normal?

    We have barred rock pullets and they are supposed to be very large chickens. Does that mean they will need a bigger nesting box than the typical 12x12x12? We're still building out the coops, and the nesting box space has to be only 12 inches deep, but we can make the boxes a little wider or...

    Using metal garbage can as feeder?

    My husband was recommended to use a metal garbage can for storing the feed. We were talking feeders, and looking at the pieces you can attach to buckets, like this: Then he asked, why couldn’t we just put those on the bottom of a metal garbage can, and use the garbage can as the feeder...

    Building First Coop - Some General Questions from a Newbie!

    Hello, our first flock of chicks are almost 3 weeks old. We're working on constructing their coop/run and have a few questions that I'm hoping to get some input on. We have an 8x10 run that has a foundation base of cinderblocks and will be fully enclosed from predators with hardware cloth, a...
