Upon closer inspection there are some white spots in the earlobe of the abused chicken. Does this seem like something might be wrong?

The run is 13x6 feet and the coop is 4x6. The four chicks are staying almost always in the coop. The other three get to free roam in the garden about half of the day.

I need some advice on how to handle this because I am a bit confused. Let me explain the story as it happened, as I don't know what may have triggered this. I had two chicken (red sex links), who got along fine. I added another chicken (number three red sex link). That chicken was picked on for...

Hi, these chicks are now almost 6 weeks and I would like to leave them out in the coop to spend the night there. The lows at night here are about 8C, so about 46F. I think they are ready, but they are my first chicks! Any opinion?

Thanks for the (amazingly quick) response. What does one do with three roos?

Hi, I have 4 chicks that I believe are mixed blue copper and black copper Marans. They are 4 weeks now, pictures below. I think three of them are cockerels and only one pullet (the third one). Any opinions?

Out of 8 Marans eggs 6 came out (the other 2 had no growth). One of them came out pretty much dead, so we got 5 nice living chicks! Very good odds for eggs that went through the mail, I think. They look very nice, I think they are a mix of blue and black copper.

Thanks for all your replies. The plan is then to find something close to a 2x3 (I'm in europe so the measures are different), round the corners heavily with a sander and put them with the wide side up. Easy enough. I don't think I will wrap them with anything because I don't have any inner tubes...

Hi, I am building my coop and as I am building I am thinking that I don't know what will make a good roost bar. What dimensions are good? Is a square profile ok or should I get something round? Should I paint it or treat it in some way or not? Is it better if I get a tree branch? My chickens are...

I got these eggs on the mail today and they are ready to go on the incubator. First time doing this, so who knows what will happen. They are Blue Copper Marans. Wish me luck!

Hi, new here and following instructions like a good bird. I'll answer the questions: (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I got some chickens at the beginning of the pandemic to have something to do and entertain the little ones. I never had chicken myself but my...
