White crested black polish Bantam
I had nonidea when i picked her up that polish were so notoriously hard to sex. She gave me paise because I got 3 other Bantams when I got her and they were so much smaller. I’m glad she seems to be a she still 😁- UrbanSproutsandHarvest

White crested black polish Bantam
Thanks for the response. I have never had a polish before and didn’t realize how hard it was to sex the little beasts 🤣 5 weeks ago everyone said Roo, but I crossed my fingers cause I can’t have a roo and she is so sweet. I am thinking since no waddle has come in that we should be safe.- UrbanSproutsandHarvest

White crested black polish Bantam
I hope so, everyone said Roo 5 weeks ago 😁 Also no waddle and I saw pictures of 12 week polish and it had waddles. This girl is 10 weeks and 1 day so I think if it was a roo the waddles would have come in by now.- UrbanSproutsandHarvest

White crested black polish Bantam
They are around 10 weeks now so I took some updated photos of the polish. Someone said if it was a rooster it would start crowing around 6 weeks? But google says crowing can take up to a year. Last time people were leaning towards Rooster, but the pom is still pretty even and online says it...- UrbanSproutsandHarvest

White Crested Black Polish.
The only other chicks I have right now are cochin bantams and they are smaller than this chick. “She” is the sweetest by far but bigger for being the same age and supposed to be a bantam as well. I am really hoping it is a girl because I can’t have boys and it’s so friendly- UrbanSproutsandHarvest

White Crested Black Polish.
We have a 4 week and a couple days White Crest Black Polish Bantam and I am checking to see if she is a she. I think she is because her round pom pom crest, and I don't see any waddles coming in, but she is bigger than my other cochin bantams so I started second guessing myself. The feathers...- UrbanSproutsandHarvest

New coop completed. Should we do anything to the run?
Hi 👋 yeah we followed the building plans but the 3 roost is probably overkill. We do have avian netting over the run which we will actually be taking out next spring. We want to square off the run next year because we hate the A frame design and all the bending over it causes. We are going to... -
New coop completed. Should we do anything to the run?
Awesome! I didnt know that was there. I filled it in, but we are in Eastern Iowa. He also has the cups but his waterer is heated and under cover and closed in on 3 sides so its not exposed to wind like ours. We will have to see how it does. If not we will have swap out the hanging waterer for... -
New coop completed. Should we do anything to the run?
We already have plans to square off the top of the run. We did an A frame run the bottom is 1/2 inch hardware cloth and the top is 1/2 inch avian netting as recommended in a book I was reading on keeping chickens safe from Owls. We don’t really have any hawks that I have ever seen, but we do... -
New coop completed. Should we do anything to the run?
That waterers are heated in the winter, but we will definitely keep an eye on them to make sure they stay warm enough to keep the cups from freezing. We have friends with the same heater and his water was fine even when his eggs kept freezing so I am hopeful the heater will be sufficient. I know... -
New coop completed. Should we do anything to the run?
Yes we have have the single gallon food and water towers in the coop, but we have 5 gallon buckets we capped with the gamma seal lids and added food and water dispensers to that are suspended from the cross beam in the middle of the coop. We used 1/2 inch hardware cloth so we havent seen... -
New coop completed. Should we do anything to the run?
We have all the roofing pieces from the prefab coop they started in that we could use to make a covered area for above their food and water. I can take the coop water out in the winter. Their auto door lets them out at sunrise and closes at sunset, so i am not sure if they are going in and... -
New coop completed. Should we do anything to the run?
We actually have a bunch of the clear polycarbonate sheets leftnover from when we built out greenhouse so can definitely give them a wind break with those. That’s a great idea. I learned most of what I know about chickens from watching YouTube videos or reading books, but most of them emphasize... -
New coop completed. Should we do anything to the run?
Jeez we already installed 5 more vents then what the blue prints called for and plan to add 4 more. The blue prints only called for the window which would have to be closed during the winter so I knew we needed more than that. My original plan was to run venting along both sides and use 1/2... -
New coop completed. Should we do anything to the run?
We are in Iowa so we could stay above 20 all winter or get a polar vortex and be below -35 really just depends on the year 😁 but the summers can be nice or break over 100 so we figured the insulation would help keep it warm in the winter and cool in the summer. We used 1/8 paneling and I put... -

They have a whole fallen tree jungle gym 😊 We had an inland Hurrican, Derecho, a few years back and we gave them the pine tree top and a mulberry it took down. We had to move it from the corner it was in to the other side since we built the new coop where it was at, but they still love to hang...
