    The I've Never Built Anything Before Coop

    After many hours of internet research before getting our chickens this spring, I decided to build my own coop. I've never built anything before (learned the hard way that a 2x4 does not actually measure such) but I'm a good problem solver and we had tools in the garage, so I went for it. My...

    Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or A Cockerel? Click Here!

    Wow, they DO look alike - comb/wattles and tail feathers that point upwards! Spaceship is such a sweetheart, I hope he'll be a kind rooster. It is a bummer though - especially since you only have 3 chicks!

    Unbelievable mistakes

    I wonder what it's like for chickens in very northern locations - very long days of light part of the year and then very long days of dark!

    I have 5 chicks that 4-5 weeks old. I suspect that the astralorp and one of the barred rocks are cockerels and the RIR/Golden Comets and the other barred rock are pullets but I'd love some expert opinions. Astralorp (Spaceship) Barred rock 1 (Dave) Barred rock 2 (Bird Person)...

    Unbelievable growth!

    I went away for work for 2 days and they all seemed to grow combs while I was away! And they get so many new feathers overnight! And their legs are getting so thick! Definitely amazing to see.

    Who's barred rock and who's astralorp?

    Thanks! We tried to keep the names pretty gender neutral except, alas, Dave. He's my favorite so I'm hoping he's a gentle rooster and does okay with just a few lady birds! And thanks for your other guesses. :) I know the only real way to know is wait and see but I know we all like having an idea...

    @ week old chicks outside

    I'm new to chicks but I think that is too low during both day and night for 2 week old chicks. I was also really nervous about having a heatlamp in the house! I've used a 90w red floodlight for a week now and haven't had any problems - if feels toasty when I put my hand under it and the chicks...

    Who's barred rock and who's astralorp?

    I have 3 chicks and I thought I had it straight who is BR (I should have two) and who is the astralorp. Can you help me straighten this out? (And I wouldn't be opposed to any gender guesses ). Dave I thought he was my astralorp, but his wings seem to have some barring. Sorry I don't have a...

    First Time Chick Parents, Spring 2016

    Hi all, I'm new here! *waves* We picked up our fluffers on Friday night and we've been having a blast. We have 5 chicks: two Comet/RIR mix, two Barred Rock, and one Araucana. They're all really sweet and friendly and I can already telling they're growing. I was pretty freaked out by having a...
