We are just about 4 for 4 but cannot figure out this last one. She/he is very docile and has attempted to crow, but in a very croaky way and has since stopped and is not attempting to mount or chase the other hens. Our other one crows up a storm morning, afternoon and night and is mounting...

Help! A new chicken owner here as well and I have a Barred Rock that we thought was "Big Mama" to our other 3 younger chickens that we brought home all at the same time for Easter and were all thought to be hens, as we requested. We thought for sure Big Mama was a hen as she had the rounded...

First, I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure this was a tough scene no one wants to wake up to. I have a RIR which is approximately 5-7 weeks old and is supposed to turn out to be a hen but now I'm being told might be a rooster. She/he is somewhat agreesive and puffing up to the other 3 that I...

I have four girls, one who is about a month older than the other three and they did/do the same thing every night....pile into a corner and huddle under the bigger one. We were also told from the person we got them from that as long as the temp didn't go below 40 degrees that they would be fine...

Thank you! Puts my mind at ease that I'm on the right track and will continue to do as I am then. We only have the four and sit with them every night, so changing the water every day is no trouble at all.

Newbie here and trying to learn as much as I can from books, sites, and just plain trial and error, along with advice from coworkers of course---bottom line, what should I put in their water, if anything to keep it not only clean, but also for health benefits. We have only had our 4 girls for...

Thank you all for the welcomes and the help. Must say, we were looking forward to having all girls, but if Bernadette turns out to be Bernie, can't wait to listen for him to wake us each morning...lol Have also heard that you can tell by whether the feathers are pointed or rounded at the...

Help please! Trying to figure out how old two of my girls are. The first one is the RIR and the second is supposed to be an EE, but I'm not completely sure of that either. Any insight would help. Thank you!

Thank you for all of the welcomes! I look forward to my new adventures.

Hello out there! Newchickenmama here to 1 Barred Rock, 1 RIR and 2 Americanas, but I believe one is actually an EE. We are new to raising chickens and appreciate all the input and advice we can gather. We picked up our new babies right before Easter so it's only been less than a week so far...
