    i somehow acquired 2 runaways and i have questions. please help

    I think your lock up time would be happier for them if you close in the area where you have the coop. I thought you said you might cover the top and front and put in a door. If you do that then you can add a roost or two in that area and see if they are happier until the time of day that you let...

    A cluttered run

I have a small flock of only one rooster a Cochin bantam, 1 Cochin hen 2 Polish hens (these three hens are fairly docile in the flock. Then I have 3 partridge rocks, (a lot bigger bird than I expected) and 1 Easter egger...

    Little orphan solo

    Hmm, yes I actually sit with them every day for 20 min or more. She’s usually the last to come up to the chicken yard as they free range during the day. The last couple of days I would go find her and feed her wherever she was. I hated to do that but I felt she needed extra protein. I prefer...

    Little orphan solo

    I have 1 other Cochin bantam hen and rooster. They sleep in the same coop 50% of the time ( the rooster goes back and forth between coops) one polish is in each coop. I may need to try that instead of trying to bring in new ones.

    Little orphan solo

    This little hen has had a hard life. She’s about 9 months old now. Mom was a Cochin bantam and dad a partridge rock rooster. She lost her only flock mate and then her mom ( my favorite hen) to a snake. She tried to latch on to another momma but she wouldn’t have her. In the mean time we have had...

    Comment by 'Washergirl' in item 'Partridge Plymouth Rock'

    I bought 4 sexed at TS 1 was a rooster. He was gorgeous and sweet but I have a small flock and he did not get along with my Cochin bantam rooster so I had to find him a new home. I really thought (I didn't do the research) that they were going to be small as my bantams because of the name...

    Review by 'Washergirl' in article 'Alternate method to prevent water freezing.'

    I kept looking for the instructions to keep smaller birds from falling in an drowning. Especially when there are chicks around and them always running away from bullies.

    How to stop chickens from eating eggs?

    I've been working on this problem for a while now. I have filled eggs with mustard, that was interesting LOL. The egg was still broken, maybe even eaten some and, like she was mad, tossed it all over the place. Still eggs were missing so I added food dye to the mustard,to find the actor, I had...

    My 12 week old 'pullet' started crowing 2 days ago. I KNEW a few weeks ago he was different than the other 3. He started to darken a bit and the comb got larger.

    Partridge Plymouth Rock Question

    I bought some PULLETS at TSC around March 23. I needed some babies under a hen. I have tried to research them and it seems that the roosters are almost black as adults and the hens are the brown. I’m hoping that is a reason the hatchery can sex them as babies. I am still Lon the fence whether I...

    New here Cochins and Polish

    I love them! Besides them being adorable and so pretty they are sweet. My favorite, Betty, will first give me this little curious eye when I'm sitting watching them and then jump into my lap. They are VERY broody though so you either finally give in and let them set on some eggs or you have to...

    New here Cochins and Polish

    I got sucked into the chicken craze by being around some cuties for a while. ( I had some many many years ago when we first moved to Texas) I bought Cochin bantam chicks almost 2 years ago and have found that only one is a true Cochin bantam. The rooster has been identified as a Satin, I hadn’t...

    6 week partridge plymouth rock gender??

    I know it’s been a while but I bought 4 from TSC as pullets. They all look just like these. I am kinda worried because some have tiny tails and others have longer tails. Also the comb thing. BUT on looking at the breed the cockerels are black and only hens are brown. We will see
