    I would rather drink to my version of “Cold Duck” than become a roasted duck!

    Need Breed identification help please

    This one looks much like my Easter Egger when she was a young chick. As nuthatch said, Easter Eggers are mixed breeds and can look much like many others. A Buff Orpington seems a likely breed but is also used in breeding Easter Eggers. I needed help identifying my white one with the golden...

    Also, it is the chicken license requirement for an inspection of the coop to meet specific standards for the healthy maintenance of the chickens. There are requirements to maintain a distance from neighbors property lines and residential dwellings as well as a minimum and maximum size for a...

    Hi Redmike! No, I have not had the inspection as of yet. I did speak with the inspector and he told me to just give him a call when the coop is completed. The weather has not been cooperative with the times I am able to build this coop! I am definitely getting frustrated with the building...

    I have to restrain myself at TSC, too! My local ordinances keep me in check. I am 100% sure that if I did not have such restrictions and had more space than my simple suburban dwelling has now, I would be increasing the size of the flock. 😂😂😂

    Awe! They really do seem to enjoy them! Awe! They really do seem to enjoy them! I think it’s a great experience for kids in particular. The nature of caring for animals/pets provides a sense of responsibility and respect for life in general.

    It’s not likely one will be male. As of now, they are all female and no signs of larger red combs forming or masculine plumage. So yeah, I might have to make that responsible adult decision unless the authorities that be will permit a temporary allowance. We shall see what happens! As for...

    Oh no! How would I ever be able to choose 1 to give up?!? 💔 I intend to be honest and hope and pray for the best possible outcome. I would be worried about just 1 of them being integrated into a new little flock somewhere else when they are all so attached to each other now! Not to mention that...

    Thank you for that! I guessed correctly for the 1st two. The light colored one is also an Easter Egger? Wow! I am very happy to know that! That means 2 Black Cooper Marian’s, 2 Olive Eggers, 2 Easter Eggers and a Barred Plymouth Rock! I hope they won’t make me get rid of one of them! I will be...

    Newbie in need of chicken ID help!

    I have been wanting to have backyard chickens for over a year now. I did a lot of research and followed local laws to obtain my “Backyard Chicken” license. Once approved, I went back to the drawing board to decide which chickens I wanted among the 6 chicks I was permitted to now own. I watch my...

    Another question about this coop build: Did anyone compile a materials list when they were building this?

    There are so many great ideas here! As much as I have loved the many other inspiring and creative coops built by others, I think this one is more suitable for my minimal needs. Everything else is either too big or too small. This is almost just right, but how easy will it be to increase the size...

    @Tookie - thank you for this reply! This confirms my thoughts and motivates me to make a nice home for the girls! I have been seeing so many creative ideas and resourceful options! I was wondering about nesting boxes! I did learn that they like to share a “safe” space for nesting boxes. I wasn’t...
