Thanks for the post. My coop is inside my barn and there is not a draft at all in there. I just worry because their legs get so cold. Moderns are almost all leg, lol. I may just put more hay down for them. The nest that I allow them to sleep in is not the same one for laying eggs. It is actually...

Ok, so I know this may sound stupid but I am honestly worried about my Modern Game bantams legs... I have a little Wheaten roo and a Lemon Blue hen and they both have the Very long legs characteristic of the breed. Well when I pick them up their legs are freezing cold! I'm thinking I should make...

lol, well that is what I was afraid of but I am planning to get rid of at least 4 of these little ones and I would like to keep 2 females. How old do they have to be to tell what sex they are? I really do not need anymore roosters, lol.. I have 2 roosters of different breeds already.

I have 6 Silkie chicks that are a week old now, just wondering when you can tell the gender? I have 3 with prominent topknots and 3 without. Does the topknot have anything to do with the gender? These are my first Silkie chicks so I have no clue. I'll post a pic of them here in just a little...

Thanks Big Dreams for the input. They seem settled in well but who knows with these crazy chickens. Ravenseye, I haven't tried a light in the coop... Hmm, maybe I will give that a shot and see if it helps. I am bumping this up though just to see if anybody else has an opinion or idea since it...

Anybody????

I bought some laying age RSLs about 6 weeks ago and when they got here they were laying jumbo size eggs. I have all my girls on a laying pellet all they can eat buffet as well as grit and some treats sometimes... The new girls' eggs are getting smaller every week it seems. I would say they are...

Ok, So I am totally addicted to Castle Ages on Facebook... I need more army members though. I send gifts every single day, would you like to join me? Here is my email... [email protected] Just send me a friend request...

I could use a couple more neighbors on FV too... But, I REALLY need more army members on Castle Ages. Anybody here play it? Here is my email: [email protected] Just send me a friend request through FB and I'll accept it. ( Mikemegan, I'm sending you a friend request right now..)

Quote: OMG! I nearly died when I read this... How in heavens name do you know if you have these worms or not??????? And if you do, how do you get rid of them? Do only coons carry this kind of worm?

I lost 2 of my favorite chickens night before last and yesterday I bought a live trap. I caught a coon last night and I will be drowing him here in just a couple hours... I want to get a couple of pics of the little killer. I plan to dispose of the coons body in my manure compost pile. Do you...

How do i get the fluid out of her crop? I know she is eating and drinking.. She has plenty of energy and her eyes are bright. Her head looks funny in the pics but it is just baby fuzz. There are not any feathers missing on her at all. The other two don't pick on her at all that i have seen...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure.. They are all 9 weeks old and about the same size as my Barred rocks and RSLs when they were only about 4 weeks old, The little red one is about the size of a 2-3 week old full size chick. She is tiny... I will check crop again tomorrow and post.

I have 3 Frizzle Cochin Bantam chicks that are 9 weeks old now and one of them has always been smaller but she is just not growing... I always just thought she was a runt but is just so tiny... She is now about half the size of the other 2 and I'm starting to really worry. Also I noticed she...

I think your blue is just Gorgeous!!!!!

I will call today and find out where our feedstore gets their chicks from. I didn't mean to stir up a hornets nest with my post. Our feedstore gets rares all the time so mine are possibly Marans not just crossbreeds. I know he told me he buys an assortment everytime and it includes rares and...

They are all very friendly, but this little girl is just obsessed with me, lol Even the roo is very gentle and sweet. He started crowing a couple of weeks ago and I just love to listen to him in the mornings when I go out to feed. I have a bunch of chickens now, but these are my favorites. I...

Oh that would be sooooo awesome!! I hope they are Marans, I have been wanting some Marans so bad. I adore these chickens, they are so lovable and sweet. This one is my special girl though, she follows me around like a puppy and loves to jump up in my lap when I sit with them. I hope these pics...

Hi, Can someone please tell me how to tell the difference between a Barred Rock and a Cuckoo Maran juvenile? I bought 6, BR week old chicks from my local feedstore a couple of months ago and now I am seriously wondering if they are possibly Cuckoo Marans instead? Mine have definite barring, but...

I have a couple that love music... They will purr when I take my phone up to the coop and play music for them. Yes, I know... My chickens are spoiled..
