    Have I got a cock or two??

    I'll keep an eye out for anything but i don't have any spare space to. I've just built them some roosting boxes. And was going to treat the coop for mites. (Preventive obviously haven't got a problem just like to do it regularly ) but other than that I think I'll be fine. Just hope the new hens...

    Have I got a cock or two??

    I know I'm lucky. I have a sneaky feeling they may be heading to someones dinner table... but I'm staying positive for the kids lol. But it's probably more likely than some one needing 2 boys lol. I've noticed as was looking for chicks and they seemed a few for sale. Thanks

    Have I got a cock or two??

    So I've been watching my "ladies" closely. And I'm thinking 2 are boys. As they don't look anything like thier sister who's a lot smaller. All came from the same mam and all same age. We've been told they are white suffix And thier sis.

    Thanks Scifisam! What's the issue your having with the gate? I'm actually a joiner so may be able to offer some advice? I had a similar issue with my coop as the side is hinged but i wanted to put in raised beds. What I did without making my coop smaller I put a bi-fold on my opening side. It...

    Thanks everyone. They are both the best pets I've ever had and the most interesting. They just get on with things and since weve had them we've handled them daily. Let them walk the garden etc so checking on them is easy I just have to appear and they come running over. I'm UK resident btw lol
