Hi, I adopted 24 chickens yesterday. Please help me identify them. A B C D E F G H So A: B: C: D: E: F: G: H:

I was just wondering how many other bikers and ol ladies there are on the board. When you go on rode trips, what do you do about your chicks? I have been tied here for a while and keep missing my DH’s cross-country trips. and over night trips I want to build feeders that will hold for a...

I'm getting 29 polish Bantys on Saturday. I have no clue how many hens and rooster. I do know they are at least 2 years old. I don’t know anything about Polish Bantys. How big should their pen and coop be? What is their temperament? I let my other chickens out, the “coop crew” and the...

I put together a list of online Hatcheries https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=2969-Hatcheries I'm working on a supply list.

What exactly is molting? My 12 buff hens are still laying everyday and look like they need to put some pants on cause their butts have no feathers left. We just figured it’s because our 1 buff rooster (Red) is very active. (I mean every couple of minutes) Well, Red now has a bare spot. It’s a...

Hi, "Midnight" hatched yesterday morning about 5am. My other 3 "Dawn", "Slow Poke" and "Tail dragger" hatched this morning, starting at 3am. Well "Midnight"is very aggressive to the others. He/she keeps attacking the others by pecking them in the eyes, walking on them, etc. I set up a...

I know this might be silly and I might be wrong but it caused a great debate tonight. When I flipped the eggs tonight, I told my DH that eggs #3 and #6 felt heavier. I think they are growing. Well my son (college kid) laughed at me, and my DH said that was not possible because even though...

I'm curiuos. How come some post have a dot by it and some have a chicken icon?

I put the plastic on the coop tonight. It was horrible to watch but funny at the same time. I wish I could afford a camcorder cause this would have been one of those moments. When I let my toddlers out to free range I put the plastic on the coop because we are under a Frost advisory tonight...

Hi, my babies (OEGB) in the tractor are 23 wks old today. Last weekend I built their nesting boxes and until last night, they acted like they weren't there. So I picked up Melody and put her in one of them. She made the weirdest loudest noise I ever heard. She jump down and ran out the tractor...

Hi, I was just wonder if Bantys are suppossed to be slower about getting started? In the big coop, my full size golden buffs are 25 weeks old and have been laying for weeks, but the two banty hens in there havn't started. I notice they get in the boxes like they are trying but nothing comes...

Hi, I am working on a timeline https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=2969-Timeline Because I can't remember this stuff and have to keep looking it up. My copy of Storey's Guide to Chicken Raising or as my husband says "The chicken bible" has some many tabs, ear marked pages...

My toddlers are just getting into egg laying. Today I got 4 eggs for the first time out of 14 girls. But this is the second time I have found an egg that has been pecked. (Hole in the end) I kept oyster shells available at all times. What is going on? I watched some weird thing the other...

I'm concerned about me chickens getting cold and told my husband I want to put a space heater in the coop. He says they will be fine, he has seen chicken when he was little walking around on snow. He says they will keep each other warm. But Sam does not get near the other chickens, they all...

I'm Confussed, Scratch or laying pellets or both? Ok, I have been filling up their feeding tray every other day with Scratch (corn and wheat in a bag). But then I read on here about laying pellets and oyster shells. I let my babies out every evening for 2 hours in the yard to play. Plus I give...
