    Who laid these eggs?

    Hello! One of my hens just started laying eggs! However...I can't tell who it is. I'm unfamiliar with both the breeds, either of which I am suspecting is the layer, and am wondering if I can get some help possibly identifying! I've gotten three eggs so far - one a day. It is tan/brown in...

    How to house a chicken too big to go through coop door?

    Thank you. I definitely have this in my mind. I already have a vet that is willing to humanely euthanize him if the time comes.

    Outcome from a red old English and pencil laced wyandotte bantam?

    Hello! I'm curious, if even possible, what the offspring from a red old English Bantam rooster and a silver pencil-laced wyandotte bantam hen would look like? Would they have a mix in feather looks, or would it just go one way or another? I'm curious as to just what they'd look like! Pictures...

    How to house a chicken too big to go through coop door?

    I'm so glad that I'm not the only one experiencing this! He is so sweet, I couldn't call him. But I will give him the best life possible! I swear he has the body of a turkey though, impossible to get a good grip on them, much less with how heavy they are!

    How to house a chicken too big to go through coop door?

    Yes, he free ranges every day. I make him walk and work for his food, in which I feed in strict amounts (rather than just free feeding). He is not on layer feed either. I try to give him more vegetables and leafy greens, so absolutely no mealworms or other fattening treats.

    How to house a chicken too big to go through coop door?

    Yes, this is correct. The human sized door is on the side of the coop, outside of the run. So I would have to pick him up and carry him around the coop and run, to get him in. I'm definitely going to get a dog house for him, and I will put some ventalation holes in the sides for him.

    How to house a chicken too big to go through coop door?

    Thank you for these kind words, as well. He is my chicken, and like you said, only I know how his life truly is. Some of these people were so quick to judge. And it just sucks when I was simply asking for help to better my animal's life and then a bunch of people are calling me cruel, inhumane...

    How to house a chicken too big to go through coop door?

    Thank you for these kind words. I did not mean to cause such a ruckus, I'm just trying my best to give him a great life. I was just wondering coop ideas and so many jumped on me, which kind of sucks. So, I appreciate your words, honestly. He is honestly the sweetest chicken I've ever owned and...

    How to house a chicken too big to go through coop door?

    Thank you for these kind words. At the moment he is still living a really great life. He can walk and even run, he can eat and drink by himself - he is living a pretty normal life. If there comes to a point where he cannot walk anymore, then yes, I will put him down. I'm not going to be cruel...

    How to house a chicken too big to go through coop door?

    Sorry, but no. I cannot cull him, nor send him off to his death by someone else. I wouldn't be able to kill any of my animals (unless it was absolutely necessary, say like after a savage animal attack).

    How to house a chicken too big to go through coop door?

    It's very sad, but I'm very glad that you told me what he was. Since then, I have learned so much on how to own and treat broiler birds; primarily how to give them the longest and best life possible. I will spoil him up until the end (and by that I mean making him work and exercise for his...

    How to house a chicken too big to go through coop door?

    Thank you for the kind words. :hugs I want to make his life special, since it will most likely be very short. He has two cochin girlfriends that I will put with him at night, so he isn't lonely anymore.

    How to house a chicken too big to go through coop door?

    Haha! Yes! I actually always make him run for his food a little bit, and I don't free feed him. He is on a strict diet and exercise regimen.
