    Is this poop ok or do i need to treat something?

    OK look away if you are afraid! But I have 1 girl and I'm pretty sure I know who it is (1 out of 6). She seems perfectly normal as far as eating and behavior. Need to mention that thay have had a lot of watery fruit the last few days. I did cut it way down today, but left some for them due to it...

    Super excited!!! First egg ever!

    I had a feeling one of our girls (out of 6) was getting close to laying. I got the nesting boxes ready and added oyster shell if anybody wanted any. Came home yesterday to our first egg. Looks good size wise, shell was feeling nice and hard. I was very curious to see what was inside if...

    Is she getting close?

    I have a girl, barredrock 14.5 weeks old.Her name is Sassy, not the friendliest bird. But she has squatted when I went to pet her. The other girls are not exhibiting this behavior, but they are all different breeds. Should I be getting nesting boxes ready early? I wasn't expecting egg laying...

    Night time in the actual coop?

    So my girls have been out in the outdoor coop coming up on 3 weeks now. They seem to be happy and thriving. They do have a small coop with a decent size run and free range when I get home from work. They spend most of their time outside. Pretty much I let them out and they only go back in at...

    GIRLS NIGHT OUT!!!! Their first night outside the house😪

    Girls are tucked in...6 weeks old. Have been inside with lots of field trips out. I am locking them in the coop with food and water for the night. Low Temps are supposed to be around 40°, they have been out to play at 50° and higher. Should I put a heater in for them? They have pine and a box...

    The question of the day of course, hen or roo?

    We ended up getting 6 chicks all different breeds. I know I probably won't be able to identify what is which breed for a little bit longer. We do have a list of what they were supposed to be. My daughter has a favorite little girl (They are all supposed to be female, but nothing is 100% and we...

    Why do they go to sleep like this?

    My very nerdy husband, who hates chickens and wants nothing to do with them, whipped it up on his 3d printer! The top in it right now is a cottage container, but was designed for pvc pipe, I will upgrade that later. Food safe filament, pretty sure he got the pattern off of "Thingiverse" website...

    Why do they go to sleep like this?

    It could be the lights and sounds coming from the rest of the house? As far as light and bedtime routine? They have natural light most of the day unless it's really cloudy and dark, then I will leave the light on (They are in my laundry room) I do have some plants starting across from their room...

    Why do they go to sleep like this?

    Their actual space is 2ft ×4ft total, this is just the corner they keep cuddling in. They do have a few arches to roost on as well as an apple tree branch across the 2ft span near the middle, so it's not quite as small a pictured. The little one in the picture is just for playing.

    Why do they go to sleep like this?

    My babies are almost 3 weeks old and they have been huddling like this by the door at night. They started this a few days after moving to a bigger brooder about 2 weeks ago. The temp under their plate is mild and they relax under it and nap during the day. But come lights out? They always head...
