anyone looking for a roo to their flock? We cannot keep him in where we live in Dubuque, IA. He is getting big and is beautiful, even as a teenager. He is not crowing yet and my daughter would prefer he get to live a bit longer than I have planned. She ❤️ her chickens. ☺️ Happy to answer any...

Great build! I can relate to the unique challenges that come along with building (with limited experience) and disappointed dogs. That said, your chickens are living the life. Enjoy your new flock!

Thank you! Now I have to break the news to the kids

My chicken chasers spent the night at grammas...so this is the best I can do, but I think it’s a rooster! Oh boy. Also, this is the second set of Cochins identified as Brahmas we have received. Thanks for the pea comb tip! I read Brahmas we’re not usually white. I love the Cochins. They are...

Hi, all! I posted last year I wanted to get chickens. Well, after lots of research and coop building, I have 7 happy hens! We raised them from chicks and my whole family is absolutely in love with them. When people say chickens are addictive, they are not kidding! Check out their home. We...

Thanks for the links! Yes, I am patient and very respectful of the commitment. Plus I'm only marginally handy so I figure it will take me all summer to build them a place to live!

This forum is fantastic! So much to read and learn. I do not have any chickens yet, but we are building the coop this summer so we can be ready to welcome chicks next spring. We want to keep 6-8 laying hens and I'm excited to learn from all of you.
