Question: I picked up 2 toulouse goslings about 5 weeks ago. All the research I could find was that they are generally hard to tell apart. I got them unsexed. However, one of them has white wing tips while the other has grey wing tips. This is their only difference besides personality. I thought...

Ok. I do like the barred rock but if I could have peace, I may have taken it lol. The sex link hen did protest the new chickens and refused to go in the coop at night for a few weeks, she would disappear well in advance of dusk on purpose I think because If I saw her I would put her in. The...

Coop is about 60ft from an electrical source.... Is there such a thing as a battery operated agitator? Would that even work if there was?

I turned an old children's play house into a coop this spring. Now that its getting colder I'm thinking its will need some work. It's got 3 empty " windows" that I put chain screen over on 3 sides to stop any animals from getting in, the walls are made from boards and you can see through the...

This spring we got a barred rock rooster (adult, age unknown) as a "rescue" from a bad situation, a week later we got a what I believe to be, a gold sex link hen from a suburban "pet" home. The two bonded quickly. A few weeks later someone asked me to take "4" chickens they didn't want anymore...

Update with pictures.

Within a week of each other I adopted a barred rock Roo that had been kept in unsatisfactory conditions and a RR hen that had been kept as a solo pet for some children. They took to each other instantly and for the 2 months we've had them, learned to free roam and follow me around the yard as...

Came out of a brown egg. Only one that hatched so the neighbors gave it away. No idea on parents. About 2- 2 1/2 weeks I believe. Any idea what color it might end up? Wings and tail look white but looks like some body feathers starting have white and brown/ tan...

Sorry, I took the pics with the ipad, not sure how they show up on a computer. Ill keep an eye on it either way.

Well they are the only 2 we have, should I still separate her now after they've been together for the past few weeks? What kind of disease? My friend had her as a pet for her kids in a suburban area the last few yrs.

I never even thought of that, he has been seen trying to do the deed. That's a relief, shouldn't be long before we collect a few more. Neighbors already gave us a couple week old chick, just too young to go to the coop yet.

We recently got a Roo and hen from different sources (about 2-3 weeks ago) full grown, rooster is missing his tail feathers (people we got him from said he plucked from being confined), they look like there growing back though. Hen looked in perfect condition, I just notice today that she is...

Here's our Roo (ollie) and hen, they have done very well together, he was kept in a small wire cage from what we heard before given to some friends of friends who kept him in a small pen for a few weeks before neighbors started complaining about his constant rooing. They quickly asked around and...

He is in a big box for now in the garage, this was shortly after moving it and creating some spillage from his water dish. I promise the chick does not live in piles of poop, he has a large stick/ log thing to practice balancing on, food and water on one half and this is an open area that...
