    Meet my first flock!

    Thank you so much❤️ Agnes would be very happy to hear that. When you make a "kissy" sound she comes zooming up to you to see if you have treats.

    Chickens and plants...

    My chickies eat pretty much anything in the garden except for a few things, one of those being herbs. I saw online that chickens are supposed to love herbs but mine just avoid them. I worry more that mine will dig out the plants rather than eat them😅 They also seem to completely avoid plants...

    I need your insight on how many chickens to put in my coop!

    Yes...Several. They handle it well, although they have gotten frostbite several times (mostly my roos.) Their coops are insulated and stay a few degrees warmer than outside.

    Help.!!!!! Cat knocked over my incubator. Egg badly cracked. What should i do? It is still alive after an hour.

    I was just asking because I dropped a chick last year that was still in it's egg (it had a few more days to go until hatching time) and it fell from like 3-4 feet high (I was so mad at myself) and it ended up dying, but that's because it probably really hurt itself from the hard impact when it...

    How do your chickens show affection to you?

    Sometimes when I'm crouching down minding my own business watching the chickens, my black Australorp named Phyllis likes scraping her beak on my back, it really hurts 😅 She does the same thing that @Tulipmasteer talked about their hen doing. She also likes running her beak through my hair and...

    Fertile Eggs?

    I can't really tell in the pics, but you'll know when you'll see one, the embryo has veins coming out of it giving it a spider appearance.

    Breed/gender help

    Gray one looks like a cockerel, I'm not sure of the breed. I'm not sure what the rest could be.

    Top beak trimmed too much?

    She will still be able to eat and drink, her beak will grow back in no time.

    Oh wow! But do you think I could put 2 standard sized chickens and 2 bantams in there?? Does one standard sized count as like 2 bantams?

    I need your insight on how many chickens to put in my coop!

    Okay. So here's my plans, please tell me if they won't/will work. I am getting 2 chicks very soon at my local hatchery, one maran and a silver laced wyandotte. Well, I also want 2 cochin bantam chicks (they are my dream chicken.) I have a big coop and a small coop. The big coop is 23 ft long...

    Is this a normal way to chill? Lol

    One way to tell a chick's gender is how fast they feather. Females will grow feathers slightly faster than males do.

    Has anyone tried dry incubation and does it work well? And a sexlink breeding question.

    Thank you! But is it okay if they are in the super hot/warm and humid incubator for that long?
