    Is this a rooster?

    Thank you! I took the light away about a week ago. I just don’t like the idea of heating the coop when it’s so far from the house. We do have high winds here in California and rain this weekend. My older ladies have a well built house. These guys won’t share that for a few weeks. So, I am gonna...

    Is this a rooster?

    I purchased barred rock baby’s from a local feed store. They are now around 8 weeks old and one is looking like a Rooster! Am I losing it? Or is that a different breed of barred rock? The second pic is of a assumed sister and another baby I got a few weeks later. Also do they look old enough to...

    Help Moving Coop

    We have moved our’s with several people but it is a pre-fab from tractor supply. This may sound strange but why pigeon’s? We have them all over here in northern Ca and people are constantly putting up stuff to get them to move. The poop is horrible and ruins everything. We have them nesting...

    Flax seeds? Japanese eggs?

    New chicken owner and new to threads. I did see a thread on flax seed feeding but it was pages and pages long. Too much info, so I thought I would ask here. When we visited Japan the soft and hard boiled egg’s darker orange yolk were amazing! My hubby looked it up and found they feed flax...

    Altering my terrible TS coop.

    Love it! Way to excellent for a man with no skills! I would say he is selling himself short! My hubby can build only he went the easy route and bought a pre made coop at tractor supply.

    Suggestions - Reading Watching, etc.

    Beautiful Ruin’s is my favorite book! It’s a love story that spans over centuries on a small Italian island. Also in audio, I own both! I also love my animals. Cute dogs above! We have a springer spaniel that loves to sit outside the coop and watch our flock.

    Our first Egg!

    Thank you! I do have ceramic eggs in nesting boxes. It’s still hot here in California but will start getting cooler in the next month or so. Doris (Rhode Island red) is a week older then the other hen’s and I think it was her egg. Our black girl that went missing is also the same age, maybe she...
