Recently, I have been raising 10 chickens with my grandma in the countryside. I will continue to learn chicken-raising tips and share them with my grandma.:D
Hello!
I have a single bantam rooster. I've had him for 5 years. He was originally with 2 other hens who passed away unfortunately. The last hen passed away about 3 weeks ago.
I was scared that my rooster would become lonely, he had started roaming a lot less and eating less.
To hopefully solve...
Hi everyone
I am in my first year of raising chickens and need some help. I started off in March with with 13 day olds from TSC, ended up processing 2 of the three roosters so they’re in my freezer. The 9 hens and one rooster left have been great. Silly me wanted to add some different color...
Hey everyone, I have a question: does anyone know where I can buy this new chicken breed?

Does anyone recognize this breed? Are there more facts about this chickens? Do they look familiar? I have my ideas.
I have heard of Holstein cows and Friesian horses, but never...

Back in April, I was only able to get two barred rock (due to some specific circumstances). I had them in the run for a few weeks, so that they would know that it was their home and such.
My older flock, free ranges and would come and go from the run as they would...

First time posting, long time lurker. Backstory: So we have a new bunch of hens 3 to be exact that are under the age of 1. Mixed with our old girls who do not lay often. We got them as two day old chicks back in April or May 2020 I can't remember the exact month. Today we noticed the one...

Charlene’s mom here.
I first posted in December and wrote about my sweet, stray RIR Charlene.
She did great in our attached garage all winter, getting spoiled rotten.
I have decided to take the plunge and get her a few girlfriends. The first week of April we will be adding two Buff Orpington’s...
Hello everyone!
I'm living right now in the highlands of Costa Rica (pretty cold believe it or not haha) and we used to have 4 chickens and a rooster but a few months ago an opossum killed 3 so only the rooster and 1 chicken survived. A few days ago we got 3 chickens, 13 weeks old and...
My three 5-6 week old chicks will be put in a separated area of the coop/run with 5 other older hens sometime within the next week or so. We can keep them separated for as long as it takes (we're thinking a few weeks). But then once we have everyone together the new chicks will be around 10-11...
