Her combe is pale but turns red after a minute or two. so weird... why...

    Thank you for the info! I’m reassured and will let them sleep in the unheated coop. ☺️

    Cold weather?

    Same question here. Temp will drop to -16 Celsius (3,2 F) and im also worried for my 5 bantams. 1 of them is a curly feathered cochin. They are tiny. But, the coop is dry and draft free.

    Loud chicks around 9pm

    They have food, water and a clean warm spot to sleep. I’m guessing it’s just chick behaviour. Throwing a tantrum because they don’t want to go to sleep 😂

    Loud chicks around 9pm

    Just wondering if it’s normal behaviour for chicks to be very loud just before they go to sleep around 9pm. They have water and food, clean coop, and have been outside almost all day.

    New chick owner from The Netherlands

    Can you tell which one's are roosters and hens? I cannot tell 5 and 6 apart. They look so much alike. Number 3 is def the biggest of them all! And number 2 has been smaller than number 1. My guess I that 2 and 3 are roosters. #3 is only based on size and some red comb development at #2.
