Very interesting thread and curious to see what you come up with. I'd be super interested in seeing a rooster study also. Like some that are completely raised hands off and others raised with cuddles and hugs to see the difference in temperament/behavior outcome... 🙂 Marans in any of your...

A belated Happy Mothers day to all the moms out there. I hope you all had a very wonderful day. ♥️ Just a small update.. I framed in under the poop boards to separate the broodys. Joannie being head hen I don't worry too much about her but she was allowing the others to come in and lay and I...

Yes it is... I do have a white board in the barn where the coops are but in reality if you've gotten that far, it's way too late....🥴

Cute flock you have, and great looking coop. Congrats. I'm gonna be partial to Eleanor your BCM and I love the name simply because it was in the movie.. 'Gone in 60 seconds'.

Not mine, just a pic off internet. I want one, tho. 🤣

This sign works also...just saying 👍🙂

Some of the little cream ones look like a reverse skunk on their heads...🤣 Their all super cute....♥️

Yes 👍

For an immediate fix, set a tote lid on top of your wire. Most of the spilled feed can be dumped back in feeder. I do this out in the run also. The bigs clean up anything else.

I'm at 30 birds with 2 broodys sitting on 18 eggs between them. Not sure what the guidelines are for small and big flocks so didn't vote yet.

That's sounds great, your way further along than I am. Post pics when you can, I'd love see it.

My BCMs stick closer to the coop than the mixed flock does. But I've got crop fields on 2 sides so it's not an issue with wandering too much until the corn gets high enough the coons can move freely during daylight hours without being seen...another reason for fencing. I have Hawks and...

Yes, mine. Marans notebook...🥴

I have a couple big ones also having a Bull Mastiff but I will wrap any I need for young birds with hc and zip ties. Pretty simple but it protects against pecking injuries and coon hands, or smaller predators getting to them. And yes, the littles should start following the bigs in at roost...

How big are the openings? I've wrapped my wire crates with hardware cloth to prevent pecking injury. How big is it? Can you add a roost for them? Next question is how secure is your run? If it's not secure, I would transport them back and forth into an enclosed garage or similar if the coop is...

You could use these for the kennel to coop.. For your chicken door, you could frame it with wood, staple the wire to wood. Cut wire hole and attach pop door with hinges to wood frame.

This...12 feet in ones eyes is 3 feet on a tape measure 👍

She's gorgeous ♥️

I hear ya there, the wife is trying to setup a garage sale but everything is tarped and canopied with every other day rain happening. Now the forecast is calling for 8 rain days in a row coming next week ish. Too far out to forecast but still...ugh. Looking forward to seeing your chickies.. I...
