    New to chickens.

    No, they aren't silly questions. We all asked them at some point I would lock them in the coop at night, both for predators and to help them establish the coop as a home.

    quiet roo

    Can you post a video of this? Or picture, so I can get an idea of age or maturity? Because chicken sounds are so varied, it's hard to know. How old is he? Do have any other roosters? Have you noticed interesting behaviours associated with the purring? Do your neighbors have chickens? Has he...

    New to chickens.

    Do they have a nest box to lay in? If they don't decide to lay there soon, you may want to put a fake egg in there to encourage them to lay. How many do you have? The red is probably picking on the others because she wants to establish her dominance in the flock, especially if they aren't used...

    Here's another discussion about this topic, similar in nature. Hopefully it helps. I'm really bad at this conversion stuff.

    Could use a bit of help sexing these birds...

    Has "he" crowed? If not, I also don't see anything about the buckeye that indicates he's a cockerel. They all look like pullets to me.

    Doctor who fans only

    I didn't like how he looked at first, but then I began to see fanart on tumblr, and I think he will definitely grow on me. I like that he's older-he doesn't look too old, either-and that doesn't mean they can't have a lot of running still. :) I think it will challenge the writers to branch out...

    Doctor who fans only

    I've been waiting for a bit for this thread to show up! I loved the ninth doctor-he was my doctor. David Tennant is such a good actor though, and I love the emotional depth of the 10th. I'm only just finishing season 4, so haven't seen Smith or anything recent. As far as the 12th goes, I hope...

    1 chicken alone

    I raised a rooster alone, and he wasn't too lonely but had never met another chicken till he was "of age." If you can spend a lot of time with her, it may work until she is big enough to go with the rest. But if you think she is sick, please be really, really careful or the rest of your hens...

    planting marigolds

    African marigolds are actually really pretty once they flower, but they are more of a tall flower for cutting. Ours attracted dozens of butterflies every day, which was pretty cool.

    Ended Official BYC Article Writing Contest #4

    I'm trying to do one on 4-H poultry showmanship-I don't have much experience at larger fairs. I can't do a video though, so that would be great.

    So Freaking Mad... Cannot Even Get It Together... Some People Can Just Be So... *Warning, Rant Alert

    Let's chill, everyone, before we create more hate. It's not the dog's fault, and it might not even be her fault that she had to take him. One never knows these sorts of things. And, there was a rant alert.

    911!!! blu-kote everywhere, and graduation is Friday!!!!!

    You could always be a Smurf! In all seriousness though, keep scrubbing, and it will probably come off. Somewhere else I saw alchohol would work, so it's at least worth a try. It's really cool that you made your graduation dress! Can you post a pic?

    TO HATCH OR NOT TO HATCH !!!

    I would say the eggs are not going to hatch and remove them before the geese kill themselves. If one goose stands out as the leader of the rest, that's probably a gander. If you watch them around the pond, you may notice behaviour almost like they're flirting.

    Interesting about the chickens eating them...

    We've been Rooster Dumped...

    My favorite birds were always the mutts,so as long as the roosters get along that would be fine. From his spurs, he does look young, but his feathering is mature.

    What about access to human "predators?" Were the dead poults all together?
