    Am I crazy for wanting to sell my whole flock

    We have tried it and there are so many hawks suddenly but we have a routine for now that works and so far we haven't had any incidents.

    Am I crazy for wanting to sell my whole flock

    Thank you to everyone who commented. My goal is to let everyone start free ranging in the fenced yard with access to the coop and their runs. I have found some people who would be willing to help with them once a month so I can go out to dinner or out of town. We have hanging feeders and I...

    Am I crazy for wanting to sell my whole flock

    The feeder is awesome I never knew that existed! Currently trying to post pictures to see how a tunnel or coop door could be rigged up. I appreciate y'all's help, maybe with some brainstorming with y'all I can figure this out.

    Am I crazy for wanting to sell my whole flock

    I just don't have neighbors that would do that. I've tried. I think posting pictures of my set ups would explain why I don't think a coop door would work. I have tried just opening the door and not corralling them and they all just stand in the yard staring until I started herding them.

    Am I crazy for wanting to sell my whole flock

    15 outside and 13 chicks 2 months to one week inside in 2 brooder pens. Trying to figure out how to automate the coop door as the only access is a shed door that's like a true barn door. We prop it open and I corral them in and out then shut it to keep predators and bugs/rodents out. I have...

    Am I crazy for wanting to sell my whole flock

    Thank you. I've looked for help but surprisingly no one around here knows anyone or is willing to help. I even tried rover.com and other sites and they wanted $200/day because they charge by the # of chickens as if they were dogs or cats. I appreciate your response and I will see about redoing...

    Am I crazy for wanting to sell my whole flock

    I can't because it's an old shop warehouse built on a foundation. It's not directly connected to the runs. I have large feeders but I bring them inside every night because the workshop and runs got mice when we tried leaving them outside. I currently have 15 adults and 13 chicks.

    Am I crazy for wanting to sell my whole flock

    I absolutely love my chickens. They live relatively safe and easy lives. We converted a workshop with power into a huge coop for them. We have 2 runs which means every morning and night we have to herd them into the coop from the runs and vice versa. They don't free range without me being...

    Silkie/bantam and silkie/blue legged beauty mixes

    That's what I thought this morning when I saw that beautiful comb! I hope he has the same disposition as his father!

    Silkie/bantam and silkie/blue legged beauty mixes

    Yes I know they're difficult I just hoped with some having a blue bantam Andalusian mom and some having banded moms, sexing would be a little easier. Thank you for looking thought ☺️ it's been fun to just to hatch and watch em grow regardless of gender.

    Silkie/bantam and silkie/blue legged beauty mixes

    I have hatched several chicks from my silkie rooster and his ladies. If I have pictures of moms and dad along with the chicks, is it possible to sex them? Some are 3 weeks old and some are 1 day old. This is for fun of course because many have homes and I'm planning on keeping the other Chicks...
