I have an 8 month old pullet (my top hen) who just recently started climbing to the top of the coop and clucking a deep-throated cluck with another chicken (always the same) right beside her but quiet. Its as if shes standing in front of the reset of the flock making a speech. She does this...

Hi! My Gold Lace Wyandotte rooster has started crowing like crazy! Hes polite and waits till about 0730 to start up, but then he wont stop. Im not supposed to have roosters in my town so I need to get rid of him, quick, which really sucks because I just LOVE him. Does anyone know anyone in the...

Ive had to get rid of 3 roosters already since Im not actually allowed to have them and each time it gets harder. I cried so hard the last time bc the one rooster was my cuddle buddy and shadow. My Gold Laced Wyandotte has turned out to be a rooster and while he was a little finicky at first...

Thank you for the link! I dont measure anything, I just fill a couple plates full of fermented feed and put in in the yard and on the deck. I only have 8 chickens, 3 are only about 3 months old and the other 5 are about 4.5 months old. Because I do fermented feed, I imagine the measurements...

I feed my flock fermented feed in the morning and at night and always provide them with other things like fruits, greens, superworms, veggies, oats, birdseed, and occasionally tuna but its like they can never get enough. As soon as I walk out my back door, they are under my feet, hoping for...

Sometimes it breaks my heart to watch the younger ones have to wait or get pecked/chased away. But youre so right.. it is SUCH a reality show!!!

I have 8 altogether: 5 older (still pullets), 3 younger. The older ones are about 4-4.5 months old. The younger ones are about 3 months old. I only have one cockerel and he is one of the younger chickens. He actually just started crowing so I will have to take him to a farm (I cant have...

About a month ago, I opened up the caged-in part of the coop to let my younger chickens officially move in with my older chickens (all are under 6 months old). Before that, I followed all the steps to properly incorporate the younger ones in with the older ones (range together, caged-off...

Thats a relief! My only concern is that we have 3 other pullets that are about 2 months younger... I dont want them getting sick in case they get into the calcium.

My boyfriend and I are new to the chicken world this year... we have been patiently waiting our first egg for some time, although we werent going to start looking out for another 2 weeks bc our oldest chickens are only about 18.5 weeks old. My boyfriend noticed when we went out to the coop...

I have AMAZING news! Last night, the babies crawled into the side of the coop with the bigger babies all on their own before I had the chance to put them in their section and werent chased out! They spent the night in there and when I woke up, I ran right out, and even though someone was...

They are ranging in the same space but not necessarily together.. is that okay? The little ones are getting braver and get a little closer to the rest of the flock every day, but they are still a little scared bc they get chased and pecked.

I have 6, 4ish month old pullets and 3 chicks under 3 months. The older girls are all different sizes, from 3lbs to 9lbs (the 9lb bird shows no interest in the babies), but the smaller ones are the about the same, maybe 2-2.5lbs. Ive had all of them in the coop together for about 3 weeks...

Ive seen several recipes on my Pinterest for fermented chicken feed and read on the blogs the benefits. Has anyone tried this? Does it seem to make any difference, good or bad?

My boyfriend and I are Navy vets that discharged earlier this year. For a while we werent sure where we were going to end up bc of the job market but we DID know that we wanted to be in the North East (anywhere but NJ) where our family and the most beautiful Autumns are.. and we knew we wanted...

WOW!!! They are BEAUTIFUL!!!! The one on the bottom looks almost gray, unless its just the way the light is hitting her. I love how fluffy and chunky they are! I cant wait till mine get to be that big. Although Im loving every stage! I miss my babies, but the older they get, the more...

Thanks for all your advice, Ridgerunner and Mrs. K!
