I would say yes. I have 4 I would say are not as bold. I think I am going to spend a bit more time observing this week. And take the top few and add to the other flock. Having the flock separated is so much extra work. I plan on building a chicken barn in spring. But I am guessing it will need...

They are a little over 2 months. But just seem so much smaller than my bigger flock. I thought I read somewhere on here about rooster hurting smaller pullet's vent causing issues laying eggs. Of course I cannot find it. Am I over thinking it?

Building a run "expansion" for my second batch of baby chix. They are a tad over crowded as my dad was supposed to take 8-10 of this chick order and he started getting neighbor complaints when the ladies lay eggs. So I still have the total batch of 16. Already have another 10 besides in a...

A green house. Yup thats next year or the year after. I have a farm pasture w this steap slope leading down to it. I want to dig into the slope and use the slope for one wall. Like half in the ground, half reg green house.

I hear you on that. I have an open coop w a run all ready for them when they come out of the brooder. Its good for 8 not 16. I have been in non stop contruction mode since we moved in.

Note to self check spelling before night time posts. Lol

Thinking about it. 34 is a bit nutz. For a semi beginner

So I have 10 five month old chicks. 2 were injured by a predator from our first coop. We rebuild and made a med bay. They are healed but love there lil home. 8 live in our newest coop. 8 of their brooder mates are with my dad in another city. He wanted 8 more. Me too. 16 are in a brooder...

First time outside. 2 weeks old. They sorta freeked out without their lil chicken mama. So she popped in with them. Then they calmed down, started sunbathing and stretching. Other chicks in their runs are very occupied watching new babies with 'their mama' Some competing over her love w...

Yeah I have one guy who matured pretty early. Another who just started but he allows all the girls to boss him about. And got 3 eggs today. Mine hatched Sept 12-13th and I already had to triple the brooder size. Most are getting huge but two are really small.

First egg from our may babies! The mint one is from our EE we took in around may. The lil brown one is probably from our Buff orph or a sex link. They both popped up to the nest and squawked to tell me it was there all proud. Our fall brooders are here. One small weak lil girl in the batch had a...

So I think my first flock from May has become really accustomed to me tinkering and building in the yard. From building different coop designs to a quick yard screen house, they think everything I build is for them. I take out the chop saw and they could care less. Wood chipper they stare at...

Yeah I know what that is like. Two of my spring brooder group were injured by a predator. So I had them in a med bay while they healed. Now integration isnt going well. Why I am o. The site today actually. Here is to integrating before winter I have another batch coming mid sept. Half for me...

Any one who processes chickens have a good link to info on this. I have been reading some on this for when the time comes. Hubby is honestly attatched to the rooster. He is the one who named him Rubles. I was calling him roo or roast. I got looks. He is all about giving him a chance. I told him...

You got that right. Esp when we were "supervising" them on there outing. And only went inside to get a jug of water. We were like where did we move to? Predator central? The rotartiller we rented was a big old loud jalopy. It should have deterred anything for a while. I love them no matter what...

We have a more "wheaten" colored easter egger. I think that is what you would call her. She is nearly 3. Lays tinted green eggs. She came to us because she was being ravaged by a rooster and his harem. We kept her separate for about a month. She is top hen for now. Keeps our young boys in line...

A barred rock, a buff orph, 2 speckled sussex, 2 sex links (another 8 for my dad) and some "ameraucanas" which when i asked if he ment easter eggers (from learning on here) I kinda offended him. I appologized, and said learning all this quickly. Lol For predators we definitely have hawks, and I...

Hi everyone. This is a great thread. I have been reading it all day. Still sort of a noobie, and love the learning this site provides. My husband is like "backyardchicks" again? Everytime he sees me on the phone. :lovecan not help it... So we started our crazy chicken love journey in May. We...
