    No Eggs, can't tell why!

    No extra feathers lying around yet and the Florida weather still feels like summer. I thought they were too young for a first molt (15-18 months, then annual). But with nature, there's no "hard" rules I guess! Thank you for your insight!

    No Eggs, can't tell why!

    Cool isn't the issue here. I'm not looking for chicks either, so I'll focus on the broody one. I've got 4 different breeds: blue Andalusian, Easter egger, golden laced Wyandotte, and my broody one the barred rock. I will update with any changes.

    Wing Clipping and Coop Preparation

    Thanks everyone!!! I think I will reduce the size of the coop and increase the size of the run/fenced range area. I had always intended on covering all of those areas. I want to be able to let the chickens roam the rest of the yard when I am out gardening or lounging in the yard (thus the 4-foot...

    Wing Clipping and Coop Preparation

    I am new to BYC and before I actually dive into the chickens I want to prep my space. I have approximately 12 ft by 40 ft for my chicken coop and run. I also plan to let my chickens roam my yard when I am home to monitor them. I plan to divide my chicken space in half with one half for the...
