    Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

    I let the three big girls out to free range for a bit, chased the littles out to the run so I could reconfigure their brooder a bit in peace with out getting mobbed for treats. Once that was done, spent a little time in the run with the littles just hanging out and watching them do chicken...

    Chocolate Orp gender?

    Not the best pics, hard to wrangle a chick yourself and take pics at the same time. She's the pinkest out of this batch of 10 chicks of all different breeds. Everyone else is staying nice and yellow. And I had it in my head that orps were slow to mature, she was definitely slower than the...

    Chocolate Orp gender?

    Chick is 6 weeks old today. Too soon to tell? The flush of pink in the comb and wattles is making me nervous.

    Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

    I’m still currently at 10 chicks and everyone seems to be going strong. The little snots are starting to sleep on top of their brooder, making more mess for me to clean up.

    Rooster insists on sleeping on top of the coop

    Yea, if they can access the top of that coop, they are gonna roost on top of it. Highest accessible place is prime roosting area. This was the night before they were moved to their permanent coop/shed.

    TSC heater only last for 1 year

    Our shed is on a separate meter so it was easy to see. The back half of our house is actually my retired general contractor father's business storage and set up on a separate electric meter. The whole area is not temp controlled and not habitable. Now that he's retired, its rarely used so the...

    TSC heater only last for 1 year

    A life and egg saver but bill raiser. I can't believe how much it cost to run ours last year.

    Water heater is heating to 105 F

    If you like nipple waterers, have you tried the Premier1 heated waterer? Holds 3 gallons so a bit more than your original one and has 3 nipples in it. Automatically only kicks on below 40F. I never had any type of bacterial growth build up inside of it and I use mine year round, just detach the...

    Day-Old Chick ID - Legbar or Marans?

    They do very wildly. My first order from Meyer’s had a GQ and she looked like a RIR with muffs and beard. I like her so much I included another GQ with this years order and my meal maker will bring me up to three. For the two I got this year, one is a mostly black chick with clean legs, the...

    Welsummer or Brown Leghorn?

    I went back thru my pics and it didnt look like the brown leghorns starting showing white earlobes until they were much closer to point of lay. Maybe close to 13-14 weeks old or so

    Day-Old Chick ID - Legbar or Marans?

    She almost looks like she has puffy cheeks? My Meyer order on 10/14 had a Green Queen for the meal maker, and it seems they've been using that breed for a lot of meal makers lately.

    Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

    Snapped a handful of pics as they are getting pretty big now. I’ll be taking the heat plate out this weekend and blocking off the communal nest box. Already I’ve seen at least River up chilling in the communal box and I don’t want to have to clean baby cecal poops out of it. When the mealworm...

    Pics would help. They didn’t want to upload to the first post for some reason.

    Welsummer or Brown Leghorn?

    This chick is 5 weeks old and is supposed to be a Welsummer pullet. I had brown leghorns with my last batch of chicks and at this stage I honestly can’t tell the difference. Do I have to wait and see if she gets white earlobes? Or is there another way to tell?

    Does anyone have a pullet/hen available that they're willing to ship?

    Meyer Hatchery sometimes sells started pullets and will ship. It will be expensive tho.

    No Chickens in the house he said

    You know, I bet that’d make a great quail enclosure after the chicks move out…😎😎😎
