I got two assorted bantams from TSC and my original guess was dark brahmas, however they seem to have single combs so now I’m thinking Cochins. Does anyone have some thoughts on what color of Cochin they might be?

I have my first broody hen (Effie, porcelain D’uccle) currently sitting on six eggs. She went broody on April 5 or 6. She has been diligent so far with some help along the way with me having to return her to the right box a few times after she takes her daily breaks and when my speckled Sussex...

I have two 5 week old Pekin ducks that I need to make living quarters for and I am hoping to get some ideas on what would make them happiest. Currently they free range and have a little stock tank pool for the day and I shove them in a small coop at night. Originally I thought about making them...

I’m thinking about trying again with a rooster. My cream Legbar rooster is as non aggressive as can be which unfortunately includes protecting the hens. He’s a big pet and I want a protector for the flock. So I’m thinking I’ll throw in a rooster or two in my up coming order of chicks. I’m...

About 4 of them, however, seem to do more chasing, chest bumping, and pecking, usually amongst themselves, but sometimes terrorizing the other chicks. It’s not age - a couple are...

I am agonizing over hypothetical roosters and cockerels and I’m hoping someone can give me some words of wisdom. I am just starting my flock - I currently have two straight run bantams and two blue rock pullets (about 1.5 weeks old). I will be getting two porcelain D’uccle, three cream legbars...

Hello fellow animal lovers! I am finally getting chickens after wanting them all my life. I didn’t know how badly I wanted them until we finally decided to get them and now I am ridiculously excited! And also a victim of chicken math. I started off saying I wanted four chickens - maybe someday...
