I've followed the "5 degree" rule. If you start at 95 at hatch and drop 5 degrees each week of their age it should give you an idea of what temps they can handle without heat. Welcome to BYC!!

Hello! And what a great idea to get some edication FIRST...i probably should have thought of that too 😂 Congratulations on getting started...it's very addicting. All of the Beautiful egg colors, the Gorgeous birds and above that, their Wonderful personalities 💯 There is a lot of experience here...

Thank you for such an informative answer. I was Praying y'all would say pullet! I just found out (on byc) I have a bantam gamefowl mix...and I also have a Small BCM pullet!! I'll save that for a breeding thread. Thank you 🙏

I really hope so! Such a sweet and friendly bird. 💜 Pretty red so I should get eggs soon. I have a dumb newbie to bantams question. I know the flock she came from, there are no bantams in it...are bantams random and can be from the same flock? Will her offspring be all bantams or can there be...

This is the first time I've had a Batman. 18 weeks old and not crowing yet. No eggs yet either. I'm leaning Cockerel but those legs are so small and my other leghorn hens have waddles so I'm just not sure...but I know You Knoe 💯🤠

Hoss Dawg...not Hiss! Lol

I have a dog that looks very similar. His name is Hiss Dawg. He is black lab, Rottweiler, German Shepard and some husky. He's given us chocolate labs, golden labs, of course black and a Huge Rottweiler pup. Mom is husky, Shepard and lab so we got some husky pups too. Gorgeous Boy!! Hoss and...

Naughty turkey!! Lol It has been quite a learning curve, having turkeys. I thought..."how much Different from chickens Can they Be"? 😂 haha yeah they are Way different. Very unique and gorgeous. I know they have excellent hearing so I constantly talk to them. If I'm in the pen and I'm messing...

I have a couple BCM that look like her. Feathered feet but less copper around their necks than I'd seen in pics. I was Told they are French black copper marans at purchase but when i posted a pic on here...it was broken to me they were not purebred. Perhaps crossed with BSL. Anyways, yours is...

Very sad indeed. I chose to go half covered, half exposed. I too have a wonderful couple of roos who warn the flock and they run to hide. I would rather learn to adapt with the environment than keep them locked up too much. This experience has made me learn more about Cooper's hawks. Pretty...

Thank you 😊 Folks here have been So helpful. I'm very glad I Finally Joined

Very true! In Alaska, they carry off tourists' small dogs All of the time. 😔 I have hawks over my coop/run so I'm hoping to find great info as well.

Congrats on the new hatchlings and welcome to BYC! I am looking forward to seeing this little crusty butt 😂😂

I'm sort of in the same situation. I have a Cooper's hawks nest with an adult pair living in the tree Above my coop and run area. At first, I had the pen covered but theybran out of the good green stuff so I took off the top to extend the coop. The hawks fly over and perch on a tree to watch. I...

You know...it seems just about every bird I've got has either been Not what they were advertised as or even the gender...which is another reason I recently joined...tired of Not Knowing 😔 I'm trying to cross for egg color and specific breeds...kinda hard to do with "I Think he's a Leghorn" 😕 I...

Mom is on the right an her daughter is on the left. Leghorn dad has yellow legs. Im pretty new to this an by no means an expert...just noticed the chick looked sort of like mine so I thought I'd throw it out there. Very beautiful chick, I'd love to know what they both are too 😊
