Has anyone used the Pullet-shut door? That one is interesting to me. It doesn’t have the safety sensor, but I’m wondering if it isn’t safer simply due to the way the door opens/closes. If you have one, or if you have used one, please let me know what you think about it. TIA...

Thanks! I definitely want the safety sensor. I was shopping on Amazon (almost always creates more confusion from too many products), and I read multiple reviews where birds were crushed or decapitated. I can’t even imagine…

Thanks @Debbie292d! One other note for anyone who wishes to reply. I should have noted that the door will open to a covered run on the north side of the house. It will very likely not get enough light to operate a light sensor accurately.

Hello! We are building a new coop and want to add an automatic door. Unfortunately, there are SO many products out there that we are having a hard time knowing which will be best. We don't necessarily need a bunch of bells and whistles, but we do need: 1. Timer 2. Battery (with solar is a...

Thanks for responding!! I think so also, really, but the devil on my shoulder keeps telling me otherwise. 😂 Maybe just an early bloomer 🤞🏼

Here’s a body shot of Jacki

Heres the 8 week update on my RIRs. Do 8 week old Pullets get wattles like Jacki? (The last pic is my other pulley from the same batch, for comparison) What do y’all think?

Will do! Let’s hope nothing changes!

Out of curiosity, what makes you say Pullets?

Thanks for the replies! Any idea why the little black one is developing so strangely? This girl has fathered all wacky and out of order compared to her sister. She is smaller overall, but has the bigger Conv and wattles. Legs seem to be the same. And her feathers are a bit curly and frizzy...

Hello! I picked up these girls from the pulley bin on March 5th. The kid working said they were two weeks old. Maybe the red ones were, but neither of the black chick had but a hin of a wing feather, so I think they were younger. That puts us at 5-7 weeks old(ish). Can I get your opinions on...

Thank you! I ordered Corid and should have it in the morning. She seems much better now, though. Kinda wondering if she had an impacted crop. If I was feeling correctly, it seemed very hard. (I could have been feeling her bone, I guess. I am new at this!) anyway, I massaged her a bit, and when...

Not foamy, very liquidy and yellow.

Hey ya’ll. I need some help, please! I have a 5-6 week old RIR that is acting like she’s sick. This morning when I went to the brooder she just layed there and barely opened her eyes. Normally, she’s the first one to greet me and jump on my arm. She did rouse, but she remained puffed out and...

Any other observations or insight you can add? I’m puzzled by her development and have zero insights or ideas. 🤷‍♀️

Hey ya’ll. Wondering if some of you experienced chicken folks can help y curiosity with these girls. I bought four Pullets from tractor supply on March 5th. Two are RIR that are almost identical. The other two are black sex links and are barely similar at this point, although they were identical...
