I knew this would be one of those topics before I did the search... phew... anyway, we are in the country and can have what we want but too many roos is a problem. Out of eight chicks I got two pullets. I've got two mature roos that do an amazing job of protecting the flock. Now I've got two...

I Good idea!!

Thank you!

Hey y'all!! I've learned so much from Back Yard Chickens! Thank you to all that take the time to respond. Sooo, I've got some five week old chicks and I'm trying to sex them. #1 thru #4 Are Black Copper Marans and Gold Partridge Brahma. The rooster is my avatar. My guess is that #1 and #2 are...

Thank you!! I'm not planning to put eggs under our Marans. I've got two week old chicks and four week old chicks then if any of these hatch there will be those. I don't need anymore for now. Lol! Here's my broody duo!!

So my question will require a brief back story. I've hatched my first two batches of chicks ever!! First batch I only got six of 12 and discovered that temps were low. Second batch I got 10 out of twelve. It's loads of fun. So we have a Brahma that would just stay broody if left to her own...

Long story short, my first batch has been a bumpy ride but we are so beyond excited!!! I thought we had failed the entire batch. We were about to discard the eggs on Saturday (Thursday was day 21) and start over when my daughter in law spotted what looked like a pip. We very quickly took steps...

Hi Connie, I have a few questions for you. I see you've been raising Crevecoeurs for quite some time. We are new to the chicken life and it's become addictive. We currently have four Brahma pullets and one cockrel, one Swedish Flower pullet, one Black Copper Marans pullet, one buckeye pullet...

Oh yes, they can do some damage!!

Too funny!! I couldn't imagine having like legit neighbors with these squealers!! Our neighbors are all at a distance. The goats are spoiled rotten. We do have lots of stuff for them to brows on though. I'm working on a way to have mobile fencing so we can keep them in certain areas long enough...

We are happier out here on this old farm than anywhere we've lived and we've moved a lot. My husband is retired DOD which is much like being in the military. We are blessed to have had some great experiences but this is definitely the life for us. I am remodeling the whole place and loving it...

Thank you! The cockerel you speak of is new to our flock. I just love him. I'm reluctant to go into detail but here I go. He is a CreveCoeur. If you look you should see my CreveCoeur pullet as well. I've named them Cruela and Deville. He obviously does not meet breed standards. He does come from...

Hi and thank you!! My speckled pullet is a Swedish Flower and her name is Petals. She is a lovely girl. I can't wait for our Marans to start laying!!

Thank you for that response. They cohabitate so well. I just love sitting out in the yard watching all of their antics.

Hilarious!!!

Thank you for taking the time to reply. When we let our goats out the chicken feed is removed. We do have one wether and very much aware of the calci problems caused by grain. Learned that the hard way unfortunately. I caught it early and we were able to clear it up. So thankful. It's a learning...

I agree!!!

Thank you!!!

Too funny!!! I hope ours stay the sweet pets they are. We did not disbud and I can tell you those horns hurt even when it's an accident!! At my age I can't afford to be knocked down. They are so much fun though. We just love sitting out in the yard watching them and the chickens doing what they...
