She has taken to just sleeping inside the doghouse now that they are all out the nest (I had to help the littlest out the nest) she is being a great mommy though!

I believe this chick is 5/6 weeks old. I got it from a local greenhouse and I know they had been there a few days before I got it but not 100% sure how long they had them before I purchased.

Suppose to be a pulley but I am suspicious

She is in a plastic drawer that goes in one of those storage thing. I decided to move her whole box to a dog house that's inside the coop. I'm actually not sure if the chicks will be able to get back in the box after they get out. Its rather deep but we shall see. I only just slightly lifted her...

I tried moving our momma and her nest to the ground inside a dog house and she was very upset about it so put it back. I may try to move it down again tomorrow and monitor to see how she does now that they have hatched.

Thank you for feedback. We do have a ramp but ive never seen any of the chickens use it. I do have a doghouse in there as I tried to move her nest while she was sitting one night but she was rather upset about it. Maybe She won't be now since they are hatched out? Our rooster is a good boy...

My 1st time with a broody momma. She just had a 100% successful hatch of 7 babies. My question is she is in a coop/run with 1 roo and 7 other hens. Her nest box is 4feet up. Should I move her box? Should I separate an area for her and the babies? Also we have had none stop rain lately. We had...

I figured they were all mixed, but glad to hear they are all pullets

Intial thoughts on this pair. Not the best pictures, but I will try and get more. They are mainly just for the pretty eggs, though I thought of hatching out some olive egger with the roo. Thanks for any feedback.

I believe they are some sort of silkie mixed. 2 have the black skin, all 3 have 5 toes, single comb, and regular feathers. Is there going to be anyway to sex these chicks until they crow or lay an egg? Chick 1 with white skin Chick 2. Biggest of the 3 Last chick

I do. But even after separating them he wasn't acting right. The cage I have him in was full of loose bright green droppings this morning. He is eating,though not as much as normal and is drinking ok. He is also letting me pick him up which is out of character.

About 5 days ago I noticed my alpha rooster was acting strange, He has been hanging back, tail down even let me pick him up. I 1st thought he lost his alpha status and is sulking. But as the days go by he hasn't changed. He is eating and drinking though possibly eating slightly less. I sat out...

I found him!!!!! He was hiding on a post under the ledge where the nesting boxes are instead of on the roost in his normal spot.

He didn't come back to the coop tonight. I'm out looking for him now.

Thanks! I'll go out tonight after he goes to roost and clean him up so I don't stress him out too bad chasing him down again. They normally free range on 3 acres. But I did lock their run up after they went to roost in the coop last night and didn't open the run til about lunch time today since...

I have a BLRW that is about 10mths old. He doesnt like to be handled much but today while he was sunbathing I noticed his comb looked bad and was worried he and the other roo had a fight, or possibly got into something while free ranging the last couple of days. After I chased him down and got...

My new babies

Hi all, I'm new to the thread and I am in search of a bcm pullet to finish up my flock. I'm just a regular back yard chicken owner and not looking to breed so she doesn't need to be 100%perfect. Just hoping to get some pretty dark chocolate eggs. In in virginia about an hour southeast of...
