    Flock dynamic if I remove the Cockerel

    I have a New Hampshire Red style Rooster that's just coming up on a year old, I raised him from a chick, but he's tried a few times to flog my partner and recently he's started to try and flog me too, but his spurs aren't sharp thankfully as he's only a year old. Despite these negatives, I have...

    Stressed from moving or ill?

    Hi, I picked up a buff orpington x brahma which is a lovely bird, relaxed and is eating already, but the Salmon Faverolle I picked up at the same time, seems really stressed, she's puffed up, closing her eyes a lot and making a little bark noise when something noisy happens in the coop. Is this...

    First time integrating pullets into flock

    I have an 11 month old production red rooster, and 3 11 month old hens (1 copper maran mix and 2 legbars) currently and have ordered two 4 month old pullets (Salmon faverolle and an Orp/Brahma Cross) to join the gang. What's the best way to integrate these girlie's with the least amount of...

    Early signs of agression in Roos/Cockerels

    I have my first ever flock, we kept one rooster out of all the chicks I raised. He seems really sweet so far, does a dance for his hens, does a squat when I pet him, will let me pick him up and generally is a gentle boy when mating with the hens. He's fine around humans and our dogs currently...

    My first ever eggie!

    My little black mixed girl laid a pretty little olive egg! First time looking after chickens so I am ultra excited! Seeing it was so cute! Raised her from a hatchling so it's been really exciting to see her development 😊🥚 Ignore the eggs on the left in the second picture, they are fake to...

    Convinced of Roo, but was a Hen?

    Has anyone ever been convinced their chicks were Cockerals/Rooster only to be surprised with a Pullet/Hen instead? If so, what were your experiences? Was it the early development of Comb/Wattles, behavior, feathering/patterns, or even the crowing? I want to hear about your sneaky tomboy hens! :D

    UK Hatcheries

    I see lots of our American chicken enthusiasts posting that they get their chicks from Tractor Supply or similar large scale hatcheries. Do we have anything similar in the United Kingdom? I live in Wales and it's tricky to find chicks without contacting lots of different places :) Any...

    Breed

    I picked this little guy/girl up 2 days ago, I am struggling to find anything similar online to how he/she looks with a resolution of outcome. Any idea what this little fuzz-butt could be? He/She might be mixed, but I am not sure. So cute though, whatever it is :D

    Chicks chirping

    So we have a brooder set up in our living room and we have been letting the chicks run around a little bit outside of their brooder (with supervision of course). We put them in around 9:30pm so they would settle for bed but they are all chirping like crazy! Is this just their way of protesting...

    Breeds? Genders?

    Hi there fellow chicken enthusiasts! I am really new to this business and have been obsessed with reading and watching videos on what possible genders and breeds my bundles of fluff could be. I know that the sexing methods aren't really something that can be trusted and that I should wait for...
