    Need Help with age and gender of barred rock chicks please!!

    My wife picked out two barred rock chicks 4 days ago. The man we bought them from wasn't too sure on their age so I would like to know age you think they are. Also we did research and hope we made the right choice by picking two pullets. We went with the two darker chicks out of the rest. The...

    Hens in the nesting boxes

    Today I went out to do my daily clean of the coop and found 2 of my hens were inside the nesting boxes. Last week I was in the garage and found some of my kids plastic Easter eggs.

    The Bully

    Thank you. I will certainly see how she acts tomorrow. I hope I don't release the KRAKEN, if I do she will just have to stay in solitary.

    The Bully

    This is "Minion" she is number 2 in the pecking order. Tonight when it was time for the rest of the gang to go roost for the night she would stand at the coop entrance and wouldn't let anyone else in. She would bump, and peck all who dared to enter. The rest of the hens get along fine with each...

    pecking order on the roost

    I have 3 roosting bars set at all the same height. I was wanting to add 1 more roost bar and I think I might make it a bit higher and maybe make another one a little lower. I was under the assumption that if they were all the same height everyone would feel equal. Great post Thanx

    Adopted hen being bullied!

    I made that (ROOKIE) mistake and added one black australorp to my 2 gold buff orpingtons 5 days ago. It took until today for the orps to somewhat except her......but not fully yet. The matriarch hen is not the overly aggressive one, its the minion orpington that is the problem. When all three...
