The remaining wall will have the chicken door, the people door and a large window. This will be for the little kids and we'll build a bigger one with an attached run for one roo and 9 laying ladies. This little coop is the first building project for both of us (our friend, who owns a roofing...
Hi, I'm Cocoa Puffs. I'm one week old. The lady mommy and daddy got me from said I'm a Cuckoo Maran. I don't know what that means but mommy seemed to think that was pretty exciting. Maybe it means I'll be famous. I was wondering about one thing. Am I a boy or a girl?
Hi. My name is Blooregard Q Coo Kazoo and I'm a week old. My big kid feathers on my wings are kinda blue-ish. Before I hatched I lived in a brown egg. Does anybody know what I am?

Two weeks and a day ago my husband and I bought three little chicks from a young girl who accepted quickly that she wasn't ready to care for chickens. She had some breed guesses and said they should all lay green eggs ... but her info seemed jumbled and may not be reliable. I'll make a...
Hi, I just got 3 chicks today. These are my first chicks ever. The girl I got them from raises show goats and realized quickly that she didn't have time for chicks. She guessed the breed on one and said the other 2 were "frizzles" (but not what breed). She didn't know sex on any of them...
Hi,
I'm Mekare. My husband, Reggie, and I just brought home our first chicks today. There are 3. Two of them are 2 weeks old and the other is 3 1/2 weeks. The girl we got them from didn't have time for them and only knew the breed on one and didn't know the sex on any. We're hoping for at...
