    6/8 are roos! *UPDATE with PICS*

    Talk about bad luck! It's looking like 6 out of my 8 Buff Orpingtons are roos! At 5 weeks old, 2 of them have super tiny yellow combs and no waddles showing, but the other 6 look just like this guy.

    First time outside

    Took my 8 BOs outside for a bit of playtime this afternoon. I made a little pin out of some old screens we had laying around, it did the job I stayed out there and had just as much fun watching them as they did playing.

    Runner. Round/square/rectangle?

    My husband is an engineer (lucky me! comes in handy when building coops!) Anywhoo, I really wanted a square or rectangle runner, bc I think they look better. But he figured that if we made the runner round (or octogon shaped) we can give the the same sq ft by only using half the materials! (hes...

    First coop (in progress) pics. Please tell me what you think.

    I bought 6 little chicks last week and DH and I have been working on a 4x4 coop, since we live in GA, we're making the runner much bigger bc I doubt they will be spending much time in the coop anyway (right now I have 6, but I'm betting that at least 1 is a roo... which will leave me with 4 or...

    Chicks pecking at RED?

    I know that chicks peck at the color red... The reason I know this? Because I have a full sleeve tattoo and I have one little chick who diligently pecks my arm everytime I hold him/her or even if I have my hand in the brooder. Is there a way I can correct this unwanted behavior? Or am I going...

    Food and water inside the coop or in the runner?

    This is my first time ever having chickens. Right now they are only a week old and still in their brooder. DH and I are working on the coop a little every night. I'm trying to decide if I want to hang the food and water inside their coop or in their runner underneath the coop. (the coop is 2...

    Experimental treats

    The past few days I have been trying to find out my little chicks likes and dislikes as far as treats go. I know what's safe to give them, so I have been going by that list. So far, we have tried hard boiled egg mashed up, uncooked oatmeal, sunflower seeds, and apples (all of this chopped super...

    Rubbing their faces on the ground?

    I gave my little chicks some hard boiled egg as a treat for the first time today. After eating a bit, every one of them started rubbing their faces on the bottom of their brooder. Sort of thrashing their heads side to side. As a first time chicken mommy, I have no clue what they're doing....
