They were labeled as Pullets. Only $1 a piece. Visiting a farm on Monday, the women sells hens that are 12-16 weeks, gonna try w a few of those. As far as the Roos go, there’s a sanctuary near us, so they are gonna head there in a few more weeks.

So my Chickens turned 12 weeks old yesterday. I have at least 5 roosters out of the 7 chickens we bought from tractor supply. I definitely have one hen, hoping the other is a hen also. Not gonna lie, pretty disappointed about that.

Yes they are supposed to be EE. I got them from TSC. Glad I did cause it forced me to clean the coop. The coop wa drown the priority list. Once we got chicks, it moved up the list quick. I have at least 2 roo’s. I may have 4. Two I thought were hens, definitely showing some too traits. Ole...

I am in Cecil County Maryland. Moved here in the early winter.

After working 12 hours last night, then a few errands were done. I started to clena at 11a. This first floor was filthy. Poop treys had about 6lbs of Pooh on them each. I highly doubt that coop has ever been cleaned. I had to shuck, push and scrape the dirt and hay off the floor. It was...

I certainly will. To me, the coop is complicated being new to all of it, its probably not as sophisticated as I think it is with my current experience level. But yea, Ill take pics and pics of the flock as well. Im pretty certain that I have at least two cockrels if not three. So that would...

Actually, its been vacant for a little over a year now, they vacated in April of 2021. I think thats easier too, but I gotta get in there with a mask on to inspect. Id be willing to bet possibly a snake or two in there as Ive been locating them by the wood shed and its pretty close to the wood...

Yes, I am the type to go all in or nothing, buying the chicks motivated me to start getting the coop ready, I cleaned the outside up, discovered where the old compost pit is located and tore out the exterior fencing as it was haphazardly installed. As you can see, behind the coop is a children's...

No, the prior owners left and moved to a bigger property and took the Alpaca's, chicken's goats and pigs w them. They left in a hurry and the dad who was elderly was left to clean up and remove stuff as much as he could. I find things all over daily. The property and structures sat empty for 6...

Thank You... I was trying to give it away on Craigs List for about a month, had inquiries, no one came to look in person, and I was asking to be removed only, meaning free. Now Im gonna fix it up. Its got gadgets that I have no idea what they are/do yet. I would like To try and get the automatic...

Already have the masks. What kind of cleaner ? Vineager and water ? The house is about 250 feet from the coop, so water, hosing off is limited if not at all. Spray Bottles work?

We are going to paint the exterior to match the houses' new siding. Probably next weekend, nothing fancy, just sprucing it up. I have tons or predators, Hawks, Bald Eagles, Foxes and I believe there is a Coyote or two in the woods behind us. As far as the coop goes, how clean is clean? Like...

Meaning I have 7 now, pretty sure I have two Cockrels and one I will have to get rid of. I want to add more annually, just need to become used to taking care of them.

lastly, the fences you see in the pics were all removed. I’m just planning on 6-12 chickens annually. Possibly 2 goats as well cause I can’t get my lawn tractor to the bottom half of my land, it’s too steep so I think Goats may do it. Thanks again

My Family and I bought a former (5.8 acre) hobby farm. I mostly wanted the land as it was wooded. We have 5 kids from 16-8. I inherited (was here when we moved in) a fairly large coop that is two stories high and had automatically times doors for free ranging the birds. The doors and timers are...
