Call your local code enforcement. They will tell how your home is zoned and if what animals you can have at your address. I live 100 ft behind a beef ranch but, yet my neighborhood is zoned residential. So I can only have 4 hens no roosters. Or livestock including potbelly pigs or goats. Now of...

Have a white leghorn that was fertilized by my at the time rooster "gone now", anyways she has been sitting on her 3 eggs since 3 wks ago. but, the last two days she gets up to eat then goes to another nest box with eggs that were just laid and she sits on them. Now i didn't realize that till...

More polish for sure but, hard to tell if both are roos.

Mine started at 22wks.

I want one!

First eggs today! Our 22 week old leg horns gave us three eggs. We only have 2 so one gal laid twice. Two in one nest box a one on the sand in the corner! So excited!

Just wanted to share something that I found out today on a little trick about the guessing with eggs coming soon. I read up on the same way womens pelvis starts to spread as we come closer to delivery so does our ladies. Didn't know that. So I checked between my girls and sure enough my RR...

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to fix the lip on the nest boxes tomorrow. The combs are bright red andd fairly large. Now today I cleaned the coop and put fresh hay in the boxes. And when I returned later this evening nothing was moved but, I know they were laying around in them because...

My 20 wk leghorns have been singing for weeks now but, no eggs. Why? Clean water, good feed. Im hoping any day now. Just wondering what might be. Doesn't look like they are getting eaten. But, they kick out the hay in the boxes to ground. Leaving bare wood.

My polish rooster crows at 7am for roughly 5mins and thats it. Awesome. Pretty calm to. Nice addition.

I just got a 17wk plymouth barrel rock she came from a place that to me looked stressful. She is being separated from my flock now and she looks like she was pecked on alot. Do you think she might calm down and be able to mix in. My polish hens are the ones that try to be the aggressive ones...

So far im lucky. My guy crows once at 7am sharp for 5mins. Then he is done for the day. Nothing at night. Sleeps next to his girls. So far so good. Im just going to enjoy this. But, I'm always up at 4:30 daily and I dont mind the crowing.

For me its my therapy. I truly love the peace I feel when I am around them. They know im mama. And im there to care for them. Hubby took a little bit to get on board but, see how happy it makes me. But, yes total so far is around 650. And I'm not finished. I recently added my raised box...

Yogurt and cooked yellow rice with chicken. Loved it!

I luckly have not a issue with cridders. Just rabbits. Now you could wire the bottom of the run if you'd like. I have seen that done with a few coops. Then a thick layer of soil/dirt over.

Looks pretty cool. I think the hens would love it plus the soothing noise it would make would be awesome.

You need to teach the dogs to respect the chickens. I have taught my daschunds to leave the chickens alone and of course I supervise when the dogs are outside around my chickens. No different if the chickens where small children.

If you want a clean look then install inside. If you want to do it quick outside. I did mine outside and will finish with trim. And hard wire you should use if you can afford to.
