Need some advice please. I have 3 French Black Marans & a little silkie, all 5 months old, that insist on sleeping outside in their coop run, rather than inside their coop/nesting area. This was fine in the summer but now it's getting colder. NOT ONCE will they go inside the secure coop/nest...

I'm almost 98% confident that I have 3 little roos (one shown with the bigger comb) BUT is there any possibility that it may be a pullet? I've heard both roos & pullets will eventually have hackles/combs. They haven't started crowing yet but I have 3 that are showing a predominant comb/hackle...

good morning! I'm installing a 60W lighting in the coop for extending hours in the AM and a couple in the PM (we are only getting about 9-10 hrs of daylight in KY right now). It's a relatively small coop, 5 ft tall X 12 ft long X 3 ft wide. 6 chickens total. Question on WHERE to put the...

I have 4 Ameraucanas chicks (hopefully pullets) that I received from a local farm. My solid black chick (10-11 weeks old) is starting to get irredescent body feathers. Since my chicks are rumpless, there are no tail feathers. I can't post pics because I'm new to BYC. Any thoughts? Thanks!
