my one did a bit, just running around making funny noises! Plus my rooster tried to make some noise for the first time the same day! :D

I followed your tipps! He had a stuffed toy, a mirror, a little light bulb card board box to sit in (and later on top) and a piece if wood to learn how to roost. Also I still refer to it as a "he", but its actually a "she"! :)

This is the funny looking rooster.Hes all silvery now. He does look a bit weird, but I think in a pretty way :D (The one on the left is my hyline/red shaver dross hen, the last one that hatched.) The red chicken did turnout to be a hen! I got my first egg yesterday!!! So exited!!

I just got my first egg as well!!!! Its my red shaver hen an she is only 17 weeks old! Its a tiny little egg, but it had a yolk and all and its so pretty!!! I've told pretty much everyone I know, but no one seems to be as exited as I am :D She is my first chicken (plus a roo) that hatched in...

number 1 and 2 are 11 1/2 weeks old and the others a bit over 8 weeks. I will try and take some full body pictures soon. That's interesting! :) These are my first chickens and I would've guessed 1 would be a chicken and 2 a rooster. Thanks so far!

Hello, I've got mixed breeds. The red ones are supposed to be red leghorns, but number 2 has definately something else in it. The black ones are black orpington/ shaver crosses and the white ones are shaver/white leghorn crosses. I just moved them around yesterday and took the opportunity to...

Haven't had time to read it yet :D did you or do you go to uni?

Thanks everyone! :) I'm already busy drawing my "dream-chicken-coop"! Since we got heaps of space it will propably be quite a big indoor area (so everyone has a place on the roosting sticks (or whatever you call them :D) and I got space to raise little chickens in a box in the chickenhouse...
