My chickens have all been raised together. There have been issues with pecking order and a cpl bullies. I am concerned because one of my girls wont go back into the coop to roost at night and talks to us all the time when we go to check on them. She isnt missing feathers although one of my...

Hiya Tiff
We got ours at Rural King the night they got them in. all are doing fantastic and looking very healthy. They shove around a bit to roost on my hand and arm when i get some play time. Are you gonna try to show yours at the fair? We are thinking of trying it for another first...
very nice.
we have 3 Araucana for the blue eggs. We aren't hatching any though unless it seems feasible next year. then i got a buddy with a rooster I am gonna bring the girls to meet. I can't have a rooster here.. city ordinance. But it seems a lot of work to do hatchings. we will see.
Very...
Thanks Dwegg
Yeah we are seeing ours growing so fast already. to cute. Love you lil babies. Are they Blue Orps?
blefky yeah we are enjoying the redesign as well now knowing they will be happier.
now crossing fingers they are all Pullets and no Cockerels... they are SUPPOSE to be all Pullets...
got ours at Rural King for around 2.59.. jar not included.
Its handy however a bit stiff to open and clean.
Got the water dish that is similar using a mason jar as well.
Or you can buy the whole thing in plastic. I prefer the metal as it cleans better over time. it seems my chics are eating...
Already redesigned.
they now will get 40 SQ ft inside and 104 Sq ft outside in the run. 3 nesting boxes and around 3 roosts inside and a cpl outside
Thanks for the input.
Thank you all. I wish I could take credit for the good lookin chicks but i didnt hatch them. I purchased em. I did however get to pick the ones we wanted. Oh yeah and I am having one heck of a time designing the coop and run.... 10 chicks... input here please...
4x5 coop 3.5 ft tall at back...
yeah they are adorable... Now to build a proper coup and run for the lil buggers... 10 was more then i had bargained for but I will get em set up with some room to move. adolescence should be interesting with that many and here i thought 5 boys was a lot of work
lol she is so my favorite. Araucana.. so she will be an interesting lil bugger when she grows up. She was one we worried about when we got her home last night.. not moving much. not eating or drinking. antisocial to the others.... got her warmed up nicely and got her in the group and now she is...
I am new to this and have 10 new chicks. There are the formation of feathers on the wings under way. How old would this make them? approximately at least.
