    My daughter got some chicks from a school project. They ordered a straight run breeders choice so it’s anyone’s guess on what they are. Anyone want to take a shot at identifying and sexing them?

    Bloody saddle/butt/back from bullying - WARNING: picture with chicken injury

    TL;DR- big chicken pecked little chicken, is isolation and alternating bactine and antibiotic ointment sufficient? I'm sorry to ask because I know it's been asked and answered a ton before, but I searched the forum and couldn't find a good answer. I have an existing flock and have put a dog...

    Welsummer and Golden Cuckoo Maran Rooster in DFW

    Plastic chicken wire?

    I don't know about infamous! I used 1/2 inch hardware cloth that is black PVC coated. I just stapled it to the wood and it worked out ok. I couldn't find an easy way to stretch it to make it super taught, it's tight but not as tight as I'd like it to be. I bought it from the coop place named...

    Made my own Coop, respectful critiques welcome!

    Yep, It blocked off with a piece of plywood for now. I heard you were supposed to block them off until they are of laying age, but I don't remember where I heard it/why I did it/or if it was even necessary.

    Made my own Coop, respectful critiques welcome!

    I put 2x4's between the rafters on top of the top plate so it is solid. There is a small opening between those 2x4s and the R-panel, but I think it is small enough I'm not super concerned. I want to do that! Any suggestions? I was thinking a little swing? "Plain Jane" is just the normal Home...

    Made my own Coop, respectful critiques welcome!

    Hello all! So I have been lurking for about 2 years now and officially joined back in February of last year. I originally called a coop company (the one named after a state) to buy one premade, but they were backordered until October. I had already made the cardinal sin of buying chickens...

    Good Afternoon! My name is Tom and I'm from DFW. My wife and I always wanted chickens and we had the opportunity to stay a week at a bed and breakfast that kept chickens. We got to "rent" the chickens and we were sold. I'm here to learn as much as I can before I make the plunge. Hopefully I can...
