Hi! We have five younger chickens that we bought in February. They are all now 20 weeks. One has laid an egg so I'm sure she's a she... We just don't know about Inky, Winnie, and Olive. We *think* that LuLu is a girl because she squats but maybe she's a submissive he... :) Here are...

Hi, We have three 24 week old Pullets who have not started laying. Two of the three have bright red combs. The third has a paler comb. They are a silver laced wyandotte, a black australorp, and a golden sex link. The golden sex link has the palest of the combs of all three. We live in...

We have an 11 week old Speckled Sussex Roo. He's gorgeous and would love to find a great home for him. The picture below was when he was a little younger. He's bigger and has beautiful tail feathers growing in. He just found his voice.

My girls do not free range because we have a lot of predators. Also, our yard is not very sunny and the way it is situated, we do not have grass. Lived here 12 years and never owned a lawn-mower... I digress. My neighbor does not use fertilizer or weed killer or anything else on her lawn. I...

Our golden comet chicken passed away last night. I thought she was fine but just not laying eggs. We found blood/red liquid on a stool in the hen house on Saturday with a big worm in it. Yuck. (I have a picture if anyone wants to see it) So I went to the Grange and got wormer medicine...

Hi, My first chicken has laid four eggs. She skipped yesterday and it looks like she is skipping today. Is that normal? On a similar note, we found an egg in the coop, not in the same place Raspberry was laying eggs, that is a much lighter shade of brown. Could this be a second layer or is...

and the second egg - laid right in the nest box where it was supposed to be. Pretty sure the curtains made all the difference. Proudly laid by Raspberry, a fourth month old Golden Comet. We bought a pullet to replace the roo we had and had to return to the farm we got him from. We...

Hi, We have the garden coop. It's done and super cute. My DH spent hours and hours working on it and I don't even want to know the final cost... The girls are happy. So happy that they are POOPING everywhere! Well, we don't really see the poop in the run because it is filled with sand...

Hi, The girls spent their first night in the hen house and we have a web cam on them running live. It's in the Pacific Northwest. Feel free to watch the "Ranch Cam." http://www.ustream.tv/channel/dodrill-chicken-cam We have six pullets: Blackberry - Barred Rock, Blueberry - BCM...

Hi - Our coop is almost finished and we have some questions about the ramp/ladder from the run into the coop. We purchased the Garden Coop plans and are loving the whole coop design, etc. My husband is thinking that the ramp in the plans is too steep. How steep is too steep and how can you...

Hi, This chick is supposed to be a seven week old silver laced polish. Instead, I think we have a seven week old black crested white polish. What do you think? Kandi

Hi, We have six little almost one month old chicks. Five of them have feathers and are growing beautifully. The sixth little chick, a BCM, is not as big as the rest and only has feathers on her (I hope) little wings. She is at least half the size of the other other chicks but still eats like...

Hi, Our chicks are 3 weeks and 2 weeks old. They constantly have access to food and water. I'm wondering if I should be taking the food out at night or I should leave it in the brooder so they can eat whenever they would like. We have six healthy and happy (I'm guessing) little chicks: a...

Hi, The chicks are sleeping a lot. They are a week old but we just got them today. The brooder is 90 degrees and they are just stretched out under the heat lamp. They have been eating and drinking and pooping but they have quieted down. Am I over worrying? Thanks! Kandi 3 kids - 1 fish -...
