    Australorp or RIR?

    We got our first chicks in April of this year but didn’t know what we wanted. We did some research and based on several factors decided to get 10 chicks; 2ea of Polish, Silkie, Marans, Barred Rock, and Australorp. In May we returned the Marans and Barred Rock because they were Roos. We got four...

    I’ve Never Had A “Normal” Animal

    I’ve never heard that expression but I’m sure it’s true. Three people in one day text and asked if I was in Vegas. Eventually one of them informed me there were birds showing up with hats or helmets or something. The idea that people heard that and thought to check in on me pretty much sums it up.

    I’ve Never Had A “Normal” Animal

    The roosting bars are the kind that are basically ladders. The first rung is only 6-8” off the ground and they just keep getting higher. I put them all on the bars last night, one at a time. Yuli and Sally understood the assignment and they slept there with Tina last night. The others are still...

    I’ve Never Had A “Normal” Animal

    Hey everyone! I have 9 chickens all between 10-16wks old. Only one (she’s a polish named Tina) is roosting. There is plenty of roost space and the roosting bars are above the nesting boxes. The coop is completely enclosed and secure. Even still eight of them still pile right in front of the...

    Question of the Day - Saturday, July 12th, 2025

    Yes! Met my husband for the first time Sept 1. We both knew immediately this was it. We were married Nov 20; 80 days later. We’ll celebrate 13 years this year and it’s been an amazing journey.

    Any Home Bakers Here?

    I despise all things kitchen related. However! My husband loves being in there. What exactly was the snag? I can relay to him and see if he has any insight for you. He’s on a sourdough kick right now, but he literally knows how to do everything and is usually quite good at everything he does...

    The Side-Eyed Sisters

    Well, like I said we’ve decided for sure the white beauty is a male. I opted for Sir Lee, but my husband is firm on Sherman. Lol More importantly, I’m holding out hope that Sally is still Sally. Maybe I am extremely optimistic BUT Sally’s comb is a distinctly different shape than Sherman, her...

    Amerecauna…yes, no, maybe so?

    I got all of my chicks from a local farm that focuses on an all organic approach that I truly appreciate. I’m less interested in what breed this chick is than what sex it is. Everyone seems to think this bird, its name is KitKat, is gonna crow and not lay eggs. 😂 I’m definitely going to hold...

    Amerecauna…yes, no, maybe so?

    Amerecauna…yes, no, maybe so?

    When you say barring do you mean the tips of the feathers that look like they have lines on them?

    Amerecauna…yes, no, maybe so?

    What traits make that obvious? I’m still very new to raising chickens. I’m gobbling up all the education I can get.

    Amerecauna…yes, no, maybe so?

    I got this beauty in May. I purchased 4 straight run Amerecauna chicks in May. One of them has pale/yellow legs so I feel confident he/she isn’t an Amerecauna. Through all the research I’ve done, this one pictured looks to check all the boxes except for maybe the comb. I’m still completely inept...

    Chicken “no-wayer” to Chicken “all-dayer”!!

    We’re backyard chicken “farmers” so thanks to city and HOA rules I think the chicken addiction will be kept in check for now. However! As soon as my MIL says yes we shall start growing her flock. How many chickens can you fit on 3.5 acres? Hahaha

    Chicken “no-wayer” to Chicken “all-dayer”!!

    My husband has been basically begging for chickens for years. I swore up and down it was a hard no. Never happening. No way, Jose. Welp, here I am now with 10 amazing chickens and it’s been a pretty fun journey. We got 10 straight run chicks, 2ea of 5 breeds. I figure that fact alone says we’re...
