    I know I have a rooster? But which one?

    I had a feeling. But at least I'm sure now. Thanks a lot for your help. Now I have to figure out what to do with them. Any suggestions for what to do with roos? I must have gotten lucky the last time with all hens.

    I know I have a rooster? But which one?

    Hey all, I need some help figuring out which bird is a rooster. I know I have one, I can hear him in the morning, and I figured it'd be easy to tell, but I just can't. Any help determining which is a roo? or is it both? Thanks

    Sleeping in the Nesting Box?

    My 4 chicks, 7-8 weeks old, are now finally out in the coop. I have roosts for them, two that are kitty-corner 1 foot off the ground and one that spans the width 2 feet off the ground. They don't seem to want to use them to sleep though. They keep huddling up in the nesting boxes when going to...

    Chicks Growing at Different Rates?

    Had to go back to retrace exact date I purchased them: Oct 5. The Dominique, Wyandotte and Austalorp were all the same age, at most 1 week old. The feed store gets their shipments in on Thursdays, so a good assumption they would be possibly 3-5 days old if the feed-store gets them upon hatching...

    Chicks Growing at Different Rates?

    Hey All, So I've got my 4 chicks: 1 RIR, 1 Dominique, 1 Australorp and 1 Wyandotte. The RIR and Dom seem to be growing exponentially larger than the Aus and Wyandotte. Are Australorp and Wyandotte just a smaller bird or is something going on? I've watched them eat, and they all seem to eat...

    Help me choose the best siding

    yeah, that's what I've been leaning towards after I thought about it some more. I prefer to to do it right the first time, and always good to bounce ideas off others. Been thinking about this design so much, I'm dreaming about it now. Thanks for the input 4theBirds.

    Help me choose the best siding

    Hello All, I'm busy using SketchUp to model out my 4x8 coop with raised living quarters at 4x5 and am curious about which way to side it. My design is loosely based off the City Coop, but aesthetically, I love the Rooster Cogburn Coop that was recently featured. So, my original idea was to...

    Hello all, been lurking for some time now gathering information and pouring over coop ideas to come up with my own design, but I am finally getting ready to take the chicken plunge getting chicks hopefully in July. My family and I will be getting chickens as layers (hoping to get Rhode Island...
