One of TSC's new breeds, Seven of Nine is a "Smokey Pearl". Very large and all white. They're a large bird, and not friendly towards people. But right now he's living with another rooster and hens so that can't exactly help his temperment. He'll eat treats from your hand, but will be rough...

I wound up with 3 roosters out of a flock of 6, and 2 of them are definitely mean. I don't really have the equipment to process them effectively, but I don't want them to go to waste if I can avoid it. I was hoping to avoid this problem for a while yet. Does anyone know of a butcher or someone...

I'm going through bit of a rough few months, and when that happens it helps me to hyperfixate on some hopeful aspect of the future - in this case building my dream coop one day. So while I'm thinking about and redesigning my dream coop in my head again, I figure I'd ask the community for some...

In my defense, I was PLANNING on waiting until Monday to get the chicks. I clearly did not, but listen, they're very cute. So after a bit of tragedy, Slurpee was left as my only chicken remaining, and she obviously can't be left all on her lonesome. So I went to the TSC, scouted out what...

So after Pistachio was the only hatch from my shipped eggs, I picked up some Welsummers to keep them company. I'll post updates about how they're doing and any fun stories about them here as they grow and I learn more about their personalities. As they find their place in the pecking order...

Realized my brooder could be used as a temporary catio while it's still empty, and decided to let them get some fresh air. Until we build them a permanent catio, they usually have to wear their harnesses and "Outside Time" consists of me constantly hooking and unhooking them from their ties as...

Just set my dozen eggs from the Chicken Poop Bingo and figured some of y'all might want to follow along. This is my first time hatching shipped eggs, so I'm really nervous about them. All 5 that I could clearly see into had detached air cells, so I'm hoping they'll be alright. I'm trying to...

So we were supposed to receive a dozen hatching eggs in the mail today, delivered to our PO box, because I figured it would be the safest place to send them. According to the tracking number, it was delivered yesterday at around 10am. We arrived and they weren't there. The USPS says to wait 24...

I have a couple specific questions about these genes, and need someone to explain them to me in layman's terms. Genetics is a fun hobby for me, but I have trouble reading and understanding some of the concepts. First question is about Vee combed chickens, which I believe is related to the D^V...

I'm brand new to chicken raising, and I just brought home my first five chicks on Friday. They're a week old and very active. My question is this. When they were being kept at the school, they always huddled by the heat lamp, but now that they're home they always sleep farthest from it. I...

Hi, my name is James Arthur, I've had friends with chickens for years, and I've wanted some for just as long(if not longer), and I've finally got a few of my own. We incubated 15 POTENTIAL LY fertilized eggs from my friends who keep chickens. Amazingly, 5 out of the 15 hatched(5 out of 10 of...
