We have the Wagon and is super cool! Love that we can wheel it around!

So I have 2.55 acres zone agracultural. Does the zoning have anything to do with it or do I need 3 acres for a rooster even if the land is zoned AG?

I practice extremely care with my chickens. We love them and they live in the lap of luxury. Their coop is climate controlled as just one example. My chickens were not vaccinated which was a terrible mistake and we will regret it for the rest of our lives. We lost 4 chickens. 2 of them were...

Thank you so much for the details. I do appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience with me. Its obvious you have lots of it.

We got them at Agway, Bowman's (local nursery and farm supply store) and a breeder. We did get 2 at a poultry swap which we kind of thought may have been the catalyst but weren't sure, 1 is dead 1 is thriving. We read to quarantine all new chickens for 2 weeks before integration. Well, I...

So we have had chickens for a little over 1.5 years now. Currently we have 30. They are treated like pets with the utmost care and respect. Cleaned coop every day, the best food money can buy (3 different varieties available freely) all the vitamins and supplements we can give, they eat not...

I know this thread is from November, but I’m curious if anyone has an updated photo of their Calico Princess. We purchased one from an Agway, which they received from Hoover Hatchery. She is currently 11 weeks old and a pure delight. The pictures of her on the swing was when she was seven weeks...

Well.... HE is absolutely gorgeous! I am so sorry that you aren't allowed to have roosters! I sure hope you're able to find him a great new home! I'm currently in the same boat that you were just in. We have two "female" Ameraucanas. One grew way faster than the other. They are only 10 weeks...

Hello all, I’m wondering if anyone can help me out. For the last three weeks, we’ve been dealing with our now, 6 week old Chick, having a bald neck. She scratches it incessantly. I believe it started off from being pecked by an older chick that we were trying to integrate them with, but now she...

Well the problem is, even when they were in the brooder, these two Ameraucanas would get attacked when they would fly out of their side into the older chicks side. It’s only them that are attacked. Today, the Ameraucanas were attacked, but the other four younger ones were pretty much left alone...

Hello again..... Geesh, this chicken business can be rough! :hmm So, we have 7 chicks that we put in the outside coop and run last Sunday. 2 Buff Orpingtons and a Starlight Egger that are 8 1/2 weeks old, 2 Barred Rocks that are 7 1/2 weeks old, a Calico Princess and an Easter Egger that are 6...

So today, a completely different chick is sneezing. And I started noticing that a few of them are breathing with their mouth open for like 10 seconds, do this weird swallow thing and then they’re normal. There is absolutely no nasal discharge, no funny sounds in their chest, they’re pooping...

Thank you very much for your reply. I'm usually a mother hen when it comes to things, but I didn't want to "act" to fast and do the wrong thing. I did check the lazier chick again, and thankfully she did a solid poop when I was there. She was also playing with the others, so I'm thinking she was...

The temp in the coop is about 65 degrees. We had sealed off the gable vents because it was much colder than what they were used to on the day we switched them over and cold air was streaming in. They had just outgrown their brooder area, so it had to be done. I have now removed the cover over...

Hello everyone! Me again! First flock and SOOOOOO many questions! So, on Sunday, we moved our 7 oldest chicks out to the coop. Today, they've picked up some sneezing. Not all of them are sneezing. It has been a bit chilly and damp here in Maryland, but we do have them set up with a heater to...

Hello all! As a newbie, once again I have another question..... I have 8 chicks that vary in age from 5 Weeks old to 3 1/2 weeks old. I have two Ameraucana's that are the same age and they are the oldest at 5 Weeks old. One is definitely much larger than the other. When they were one day old...

Good morning! Updated my profile with location. 😀. I am in Westminster, MD. Which is pretty much northern Maryland, close to the Pennsylvania line. The feed are wall mounted feed containers. So they don’t take up any room. The waterer hangs from the ceiling. The nesting boxes are not part of the...

I had a feeling we weren’t building large enough. We had originally planned on 12 chickens total, but the boyfriend got a bug up his butt and got more chicks. None of them on the small side... However, we do have an extra coop and run that we had bought from Tractor Supply. Might have to set...

I'm seconding the turkey theory!
