We live in northern Wisconsin...... We have an 17 week old EE rooster. He is beautiful, but we live in town and can't have a Roo. We are looking for a good home.

Thanks for the great tips. I am new at this, so was thinking they needed it warm in there. Coop has good ventilation and is dry......I will hold off on using the lamp for now. Where can I find the wisconsin forum?

thanks for the tips. I will go out and see what they are up to tonight:) We have our heat lamp firmly secured to the ceiling, but anything can happen.

I live in northern Wisconsin…right on Lake Superior. We get very cold weather here, and last night it was down to 6 degrees. I decided to leave a red heat lamp on all night for the hens, as they seemed to be cold. The coop is built well and has 6 inches of pine shavings on the floor. The...

thank you for that tip. This seems more affordable to me.....how do the chickens do with lime?

I don't have too many birds, but for the 5 days of driving rain we were unable to clean out the sand part of the enclosure. We cleaned the coop everyday, but it was too wet to do the sand. The smell is better today. Our coop is up off the ground on a raised stone patio with pavers. We are...

I hope to get some tips! We clean our backyard coop everyday rain or shine, however we had 5 days of heavy wind and driving rain that soaked the sand under coop and in the enclosure. It was sunny today and warmer, but the smell is so strong. We tried putting a fan on and raking sand. We...

HI There, Where abouts are you located? We are up by Duluth, MN. It will be hard to get rid of him, but we have too. He has had only organic chick starter and lots of grass and bugs:) I will let you know what we decide to do.....thanks!

That's what I was thinking. I sure wish we could have one in town as he/she is so pretty:( I will wait until he starts making noise before I look for a new home

HI There, I am pretty sure that one of my 6 week old EE's is a Roo. We started to notice the comb right away is larger and getting redder than the other. I got both Chicks from the same hatchery, and they are the same age. I would also like to note that tail feathers are staggered in length...

Yes it is!!

Egg number two.........:)

Yeah, I was thinking about that. We have a Resteraunt across the bridge in Duluth that has them on the roof......I will look into it, thank you!

I hope we get more:). She has been sitting in the nesting box again on and off all morning.........our fingers are crossed!

I have 18 week old pullets......one of my gold star hens layer her first egg. She started squatting 3 days ago, comb was redder than the rest of the girls, and my husband and I had checked their pelvic bones the other day and hers were a good egg width apart! Egg was smaller, but beautiful...

I too have wanted to have honey bees! Can anyone tell me how much space is required?

I have 14 week old pullets... 2. Americana, 2 Australorp and 2 Gold Star.........I have noticed that none of them roost. I will see a couple on the bar during the day, but at night they all huddle together in the corner. It's not cold out. Is it ok if they don't roost, or will they start to...
