    Second Rooster Kicked Out of the Coop

    Hi everyone! Having a little issue over here... See, we're first-time chicken owners and thought we'd won the newbie lottery and had eight of eight actual hens. Well surprise! What we actually have is two giant roosters, six hens, AND a move to another country coming up. A few weeks ago, we...

    Introducing Teenage Buff Orps to Teenage Mixed Flock

    Hi everyone! I am currently four days into housing two 13 week old Buff Orpingtons in a sectioned-off portion of our coop. They are separated by hardware cloth from the rest of our 16-18 week old mixed flock, which is composed of 2 brahmas, 2 bantam frizzle cochins, and 2 bantam silkies...

    5 wk old Frizzle Cochin - Roo?

    Update :D This little gal/guy is the chattiest of all and for sure the only one that pecks me with the intention of pecking. She also makes a sort of growling/whistling sound when she's not content with whatever's going on... rooster?

    Hi! Help Me Predator-Proof My New (Used) Coop

    Thank you for the helpful tips! I bought latches for the nesting box and both doors. There's actually a 1 inch gap along the front of the coop between the wall and the roof, so hopefully that should be good for ventilation. I think I will cover it and the couple gaps I found elsewhere with...

    Hi! Help Me Predator-Proof My New (Used) Coop

    We just bought our first coop! Six months old, sold by someone who gave in to chicken math and needed more room :D Of course, we want to make sure it's safe and sound before we move in our eight week olds! There's kind of a lot going on in these pictures, just as a warning for your eyes :) --...

    5 wk old Frizzle Cochin - Roo?

    Thank you! I will post an update in a couple weeks. They are so much fun... I suppose one cockerel out of the six wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Maybe an excuse for a few more females :D

    5 wk old Frizzle Cochin - Roo?

    This is my first time raising chicks (such a joy!) and while I have no experience, I'm beginning to wonder if my little black and white frizzle "pullet" is blossoming into a cockerel before my eyes... (S)he is one of the most assertive of my six and the only one so far that has pecked me...

    Sneezing chick!

    Hi everyone, hoping someone might be able to give me some advice! I just discovered one of my little cochin chicks sneezing. I checked her nostrils and couldn't see anything stuck in there. She's sneezing quite a bit and sounds congested. It's possible there's a little clear liquid (it would be...

    First time raising chickies - breed guess? grit? nervous "parent"!

    Thank you for helping me through my grit anxiety! :) And for IDing the Frizzle Cochins. I am super in love with these little chicks. It's been a fun first week. My one and a half week old Brahmas have already outgrown the 2.5 week Cochins, seemingly in just the last day, and they were quite a...
