Hello, I am currently looking for a rooster for my backyard flock. I have heard that certain breeds of roosters are quieter then others. Is this true?

Thank you so much! Quick question, I heard that orpington roosters are supposed to be a little bit quieter then your typical rooster. Is that true and if so, are there any other breeds like that?

Private message me with details!

Mine are raised in a brooder and have not seen the adults at all yet. They are only 6 days old so I was thinking I would have to wait at least another week to start taking them outside for a few minutes at a time.

Hello! We have 2 full grown hens and 4 chicks who are now 5 days old. How early should we bring them out just to start seeing the adults even for 5-10 minutes? Also, any other introduction tips? We want to start introducing them as soon as possible.

Hello! I have a light Brahma hen who just started laying a few weeks ago so pretty recently. Yesterday and even more so today she has been extremely loud and will not stop squawking. She has also been staying farther away from the flock when she is being extra loud. This is my first flock and I...

I do not weigh her eggs and I am not sure the exact amount of protein. I do supplement calcium with oyster shells though.

She turns six months next Monday and started laying around 3 weeks ago (I don't remember the exact day). She usually lays every other day but sometimes two days in a row.

I have a chicken who's been laying for a few weeks now. The eggs are tiny. How long does it take for them to get bigger? She is a Blue Splash Maran

They were not spots, the egg was literally filled with blood. The egg whites was replaced with blood

I don't have pictures. We were too tempted to open it. It was completely blood filled but there was a normal yolk on the inside. Really squishy too. What are those reasons?

One of our chickens has been laying for a week or two and this afternoon she layed a squishy egg that was filled with blood. I’ve been giving them oyster shell with their food. What’s wrong?

Yeah it’s to bad. She sure looks like a light brown leghorn. She’s old enough where I think we could tell if she was a rooster or not.

Hey! Here is an update. She has not layed yet. Shockingly, our blue splash maran slayed which we weren't expecting. We will have to get rid of Chipmunk (chicken we thought was going to lay) because she has become very agressive. To the point of us not being able to go in the coop without her...

Hey! I have a very bare looking coop. Does anyone have any cool ideas for painting the coop? It can be as crazy as you can think of and include anything. Plants, stencils, crazy colors, whatever else. I just want to hear your ideas!

Hello! I have a bare coop/run that I want to paint in a really cool way. I would love ideas if anyone has any. I'm open to anything. Thanks!

I have a Light Brown Leghorn hen who I need to re-home. If I can't find a home for her she will have to be killed and I don't want that. Where should I post about this? I am located in Richmond, VA

What do you mean squat? This is my first time having chickens so I didn't do the best job socializing them. My Brown Leghorn doesn't like coming close to people and is always nervous so I don't know how to test that on her. I have another chicken a Blue Splash Maran who is friendly and kinda...

Oh wow! Thats quick! I will tag you

Would you say somewhere in between a few weeks and a month?
