He is. He is good guy. I hope I can find a good home for him.

Thank you.

Thank you. I am sad because I will have to rehome him. He is a sweet little guy with lots of personality and doesn't mind me picking him up.

Hi, I have an 11 week old chicken that I am not sure if it is a hen or roo. Can anyone tell me? Please meet "Sam." I am not sure of the breed either. Thank you so much!

Thank you for the information. I have 24.75 square feet for the big coop which I have 4 hens in and 12.5 for the small coop which I have 2 ladies in. The run is plenty big at 15' x 30'. But, as far as coops go, I think I am okay but am right at the threshold. No more birds for me unless I...

So, what do you think is the right amount of chickens for my setup? I am on this forum because I want to make sure I am providing my chickens with the best environment and health possible. Looking for help. Not condemnation.

Thank you. I am really hoping that is the case that she is just molting. That will make me feel better. According to this article and others I read when I set up the coops, the coops should be big enough. https://www.thehappychickencoop.com/how-much-room-do-chickens-need/ There are (4) hens...

That is encouraging! @Crazy Maizie suggested the same thing.

Thank you! My husband has really worked hard on giving them a nice place to live. I am grateful.

That is interesting! I didn't know that they molted so young! I thought it was 18 months that was their first adult molt. I would be so happy if it is molting.

They roost but the roost is very low to the bed in this coop. Maybe only an inch or two off the floor. I hope I figure it out soon! My hen was so sweet and curious and had such a fun personality and now she is skittish and sometimes aggressive.

I just have left the food out for them. I don't feed them at night but I also don't take the food and water away. Both coops have food and water. All birds share the same yard during the day. The birds choose their own coop to sleep in. The two younger ones chose the small coop (probably...

Thank you for your reply. I posted in another forum that I belong to and one person thinks it might be a rat. It happened to one of her hens and for whatever reason, the rat just picked on the one hen. She looked at the attached photos and said that unless those are pin feathers in her neck...

Hi! Hope you all can help...I have a young(er) hen that I think is getting bullied at night...My flock make up is: (1) rooster and (4) hens that were all hatched April 2020 on the same day + (2) more hens that were hatched last March on the same day (so 10 months old). The (4) older hens go...

Perfect! Thanks again!!

Thank you so much! That's a relief.

Hi! I have lots of questions that I am hoping this group can help me with. This is my first year having chickens so pretty new at all of this. On January 21st one of my hens became broody, 21 days later on February 12th two new chicks were hatched. They are now 13 weeks old. I have them in a...

Thanks for checking in! Getting beautiful eggs from all of my girls! Must have just been a little blip in the system!

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the detailed reply. How long can soft shell eggs last where it is not a big deal before I should worry? A week of laying them, two weeks? When do you think I should start fretting?

Thank you.
