    Hello! I just joined...

    Hello everyone, I'm so happy I found you all. I do belong to FB pages, but I wanted something that also was not a fB page. I have 30 chickens in total, and 11 babies. I am specializing in mostly silkies and polish, but just found out I have 3 beautiful non-crowing boys in my coop of girls. Lol...

    Who am I and what is my gender :-)

    Smaller 3 (2 brown and 1 black) are just shy of 5 months old and all the others are almost 7 months old. Ok we will have photo overload today in this thread. I typically know 100% the sex of the chicken. But when it comes to Easter Eggers I sometimes am clueless. I will post some Easter Eggers...

    Hi everyone! Does anyone else have female ducks that argue (just verbally) with each other? LOL!!😂 My beautiful but tomboyish female crested duck Eminem (I thought she was a boy when I got her) and my equally gorgeous Rouen Freddie are always arguing with each other. I will hear one quack...

    Best type of anxiety ever...

    Hey fellow flock peeps! I just wanted to make note of my new favorite anxiety... Having too many eggs. This is possibly one of the best problems I've ever had. I love giving eggs away to family, neighbors and coworkers. Of course I love cooking and eating the eggs as well. That's all I had...

    Howdy y’all! I’m new here.

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? No, I grew up with chickens and various farm animals all my life. I’ve always had chickens! As life went on I lost my little flock because I became a adult and moved. But now, I got some girlfriends! My husband is new to chickens...

    Integrating new hens or keeping a separate flock for my second rooster

    I have a flock of 12 hens and 2 roosters. They are all roughly 8 months old. One of the roosters is clearly dominant. The other spends his day on the outskirts of the flock or with the occasional hen if they can find privacy. The only time he seems to have much company is in the evening when 3-4...

    I have a friend that is battling health issues and is going to be traveling out of town for 3 weeks.

    Buying chickens in Central Coast California

    So after buying 3 Pullets in April and having all three turn out to be cockerels, I am a bit discouraged. I was assured they were hens, but…either the breeder did not know, or they were unscrupulous. Either way, I don’t want to do that again. I live in the Monterey Bay area. Anybody out there...
