    Mottled Java!!

    Cool thank you! I can't have a roo where I'm at. I love my javas! They are very sweet and friendly, a little skittish but getting better with that, and they are really big!!! Are they suppose to be really big? I heard they are bred with a jersey giant? They are twice as big as my Sussex girls

    Mottled Java!!

    I've read that combs don't matter with them because they are very slow to mature, these are 17 weeks and still tweeting a little bit, I noticed their tail feather and curving and noticed there has been a lot of fighting between then and my speckled Sussex girls, my Sussex girls are picking on...

    Setting up outdoor nestboxes when it gets hot

    Great! Thank you, I just want them to have more space in the coop, and plus I took the chicken wire down from the nesting boxes in their coop and of course they all slept with in the nesting boxes, and I think that's because it corresponds with the perch? I bought this coop from tractor supply...

    I live in North Carolina, I got vainly squares with adhesive that looks like wood floors from family dollar, a pack of 20 of them was $10 I got two packs with some extra squares left over.

    Virgin Chicken owner...the beginning of the journey!

    When I modified mine I put wood under it and vinyl flooring so it's super easy to clean out! I had that same issue when I first got it, if you gut the inside like I did you will definitely be able to fit all six of your Girls in there
