Wondering whether my 14 wk RiRs are each a roo and pullet? #1 @left is larger and tamer, both tails have pointy and rounded feathers. Their legs are a little different now, no crowing… #2 @right is the runt. Two 16 week old Smokey Pearls I paid $1 TSC mgr special, I bought together, one...

Kindly help ID these two 3 week old Barred Rocks— yes, I bought straight runs--#1 on the perch is lighter gray and teeny larger than the other. Its spot seems bigger than #2 but started out covering both tops of heads. I can’t judge by the feet yet. Can anyone tell yet? Any roo will ultimately...

Dern critter has dug tunnels under the chicken run and coop, dirt piled 2 ft high inside the attached shed. Even dislodged a small concrete chunk I put in its entrance in my frustration. The hubby installed a deadly clamp-trap... nada. It's war... I was outdoors cleaning my pond mess, tearing...

I plan to raise 4-5 chicks to butcher this spring at maturity. This will be my 3rd batch (flock), so I'm about to get the brooder set up, buy the babies to raise meaters within a few weeks. Not sure which breed as of today... I'm leaning to CX. I have some Q's for you experts to kindly give your...

Can’t chew gum and walk at the same time I guess!——this morning filling up the girls’ water jug I wanted to add a jigger of ACV. Topping off my coffee, mind in lahlah land… I accidentally poured the vinegar into my coffee and grabbed the spoon of sugar to pour in the water jug! Grief sakes...

Central Missouri, I keep only 4 birds on the edge of Kansas City, MO.

Yesterday I let my oldest hen meet the 4 newbies. I removed the little makeshift door you see the young IB darting in and out of. MsBoss accepted them easily enough, a bit bitchy but soon they all explored the other’s run and food and water they’d been eyeing. Grass is always greener… Lol...

Been awhile since I’ve had time to post…but my oldest hen startled me tonight and I gotta tell it… Four pullets I added are getting big enough to switch them from their smaller coop to Ms Boss’s, her to theirs. It was getting quite in need of serious cleaning inside and rescrewing a few boards...

Girls love cooked oat bran 💕🤣

My husband found an abandoned rabbit hutch on a fishing trip. He excitedly asked if it would 'do'... how could I say no? I'm pretty proud of it all, progress, here's pics as promised5 months ago. I'm still making adjustments too LOL Sorry I tried downsizing these🤷🏼‍♀️ I recycled old fence...

This is linked to my post @if my hen is a rooster... evidently she is a she. Yesterday was a breakthrough! Lil’One layed her first egg and prior to was fussing eggstremely as I tried to tend to coop duty, and coax her into either of 2 nests. She wasn’t having it. (One nest is an inch narrower...

Hi y’all! I’ve been very busy with my own flock of 3...built their coop, painted it, added a run, experimented with fermentation (yuck!) and playing Mamma. One @15 wks old crowed! It was either of the Leghorns, but it gets more cornfusing. I think it’s a 1/2breed Americana (Araucana, see the...
