    Any Roos Here

    These are 3 of my newest Australorps. They are 11-12wks old. I historically mis-sex them. Hope these pics are good enough to at least get a good educated guess. They’re not like my first two who are basically Madonna; always ready to strike a pose.

    Sleeping Beauty

    Miss Tina used to perch on my hand or arm while I pet her head and smoothed her crest back. She’d inevitably fall asleep. She’s much bigger now so she’s not perching, but she loves to be cuddled close. When I pet her crest it’s still lights out. Y’all, she’s just taking a nap. My polish are...

    Nurturing or Domineering?

    My Australorp, Maryann, can almost always be found with my Polish, Yuli, under her wing while roosting for the night. Is Maryann being sweet? Or is she making sure Yuli knows who’s boss? None of my other chickens participate in these behaviors. I think it’s adorable, but if it’s an aggressive...

    Still Learning

    Mostly what I’m learning is chickens are real hard to sex. Here’s another who until just now I thought was a hen. P.S. this chicken literally posed like a supermodel. Gave me a right profile, head on, the. Left profile. Perfectly! Cindy Crawford would be impressed.

    It Crows…. I think 🤔 😂

    Yall! I got 4 chicks on May 13; they were 4 days old. One went back to the farm July 13 because he was crowing. The other 3 were kept because they’re hens. Well, Cheeks started making a noise like a crow. Sorta. Poor thing goes through a whole ritual to get ready and steady, then stretches that...

    Do Hens “Crow”?

    I got 3 Ameraucana chicks in May (straight run). One of them started crowing over a week ago and he went back to the farm. Now suddenly I have another “crower” but it doesn’t sound right. I don’t even know how to explain it, but I’ve never heard one like it. First, it’s SUPER loud. But! It also...

    Australorp or RIR?

    We got our first chicks in April of this year but didn’t know what we wanted. We did some research and based on several factors decided to get 10 chicks; 2ea of Polish, Silkie, Marans, Barred Rock, and Australorp. In May we returned the Marans and Barred Rock because they were Roos. We got four...

    I’ve Never Had A “Normal” Animal

    Hey everyone! I have 9 chickens all between 10-16wks old. Only one (she’s a polish named Tina) is roosting. There is plenty of roost space and the roosting bars are above the nesting boxes. The coop is completely enclosed and secure. Even still eight of them still pile right in front of the...

    Amerecauna…yes, no, maybe so?

    I got this beauty in May. I purchased 4 straight run Amerecauna chicks in May. One of them has pale/yellow legs so I feel confident he/she isn’t an Amerecauna. Through all the research I’ve done, this one pictured looks to check all the boxes except for maybe the comb. I’m still completely inept...

    Chicken “no-wayer” to Chicken “all-dayer”!!

    My husband has been basically begging for chickens for years. I swore up and down it was a hard no. Never happening. No way, Jose. Welp, here I am now with 10 amazing chickens and it’s been a pretty fun journey. We got 10 straight run chicks, 2ea of 5 breeds. I figure that fact alone says we’re...

    The Side-Eyed Sisters

    Everyone meet my Silkies, Sally and Shirley. I swear most pictures I get of them offer an on point side eye game. They look and act like mob bosses so we named them appropriately. I sure hope they’re girls which is the reason for my post. They’re currently 14 weeks old and I feel like I change...
