So I don’t have chickens yet but I would like to have around 10-15 Plymouth Rocks to start with but I don’t know how big the coop needs to be. I want to sell all the eggs. Any suggestions please
Hello all!
I have recently decided to build my backyard chicken run! Woohoo! While this is a super exciting time, it's also really stressful because I want to do everything right to ensure that I have a happy and healthy flock. Here's my sitch:
I live in Minnesota- which means winters reach 30...
I got these for free from someone who knew nothing about them, other then the fact that they're chickens. hahaha. Through my googling I suspect their breeds are Plymouth Rock (3) and White Crest Black Polish (1). I'm ball parking their age upon arrival of between 1-2 weeks on 4/21/18. I have...
I absolutely love this movable coop design! so glad I got to see it up close. I learned a lot and it had a few flaws but I talk about what is the best HANDS DOWN here if you wanna check it out and give your opinions!
I have a four-year-old barred rock hen. She has a large belly, is missing some feathers under her butt, has a slightly ragged comb (not from fighting), and has scaly legs. She is heavy (compared to my other chickens) and walks with a waddle.
Additionally, she often sleeps outside the back...
Based on a great post, I was able to determine that the bantam barred rock I just got is male (undefined head patch and light legs). I've always only had hens. We only have 1.25 acres, so I'm concerned about noise once he is grown. I have read that rock cockerels are pretty laid back. So...
My little ladies have not been interested in treats. After many attempts I finally got them to have some plain yogurt today, after sprinkling some Scratch and Peck herbs on top. Nutritious, messy and entertaining!
This is my 2nd flock, so I'll skip many questions. After we lost our 1st flock in ONE NIGHT, we bought 5 more from the Amish. While a rocky start, we love them and see how they are CONSTANTLY changing, especially in personality. HERE IS THE QUESTION. I have 4 (I think) hens and one rooster...
On Saturday my husband and myself, with the kids in tow started an adventure for us with our new foray into homesteading. We currently have a Belgian Mille Fleur d'uccle Rooster, that literally walked into our lives! Hes so sweet and docile. He seems to have taken a liking to me. He comes only...
Looking for 0-20ish week old Hens and or baby Muscovy ducks want one male and the rest to be females. I am willing to drive up to two hours to collect.
So we just got our first few eggs! We assumed it was from our Rocks because they are 4 weeks older than our ISA Browns but in fact it was our ISAs laying! The Rocks are about 21 weeks old. It seems like the ISA Browns are laying early but I just want to know when I should expect the Rocks to...
Hoping I don't sound like a mad woman who's running on 3 hours of sleep, (because who can sleep with chicks in the mail?!), but THEY'RE HERE THEY'RE HERE! :wee
All the way from Cackle in Missouri to Northern California in 3 days exactly, 16 healthy little fluffy butts! We ordered 15, 5 Barred...
I have a roo(95% sure is a roo) and he's about 3 month old.
I wanted to get y'alls opinion on what mixed Breed he may be.
He's has some Americauna(I guess that's what you call them) features like: no visable wattle, a fluffy face, and he's also a lot smaller than his brother (aren't...
Sure is a release after a long day's work (and drive) to check on the mini flock! Also nice to get up before the drive to work and go out to check on them an see how they're all doing. Currently have my faithful Plymouth Barred Rock just over a year old, my Silver Laced Wyandotte acquired about...
Hello everyone. I have a question regarding the gender of my PBR chickens. They are all supposed to be pullets, but I know there is a rate of error. I had a friend over last night and she thinks I may have a roo! Any thoughts? They are about 13 weeks old. I have attached a few pictures for...
Hi everyone! I was hoping whether you could give me an idea on whether my plymouth 'Nimbus' is a male or a female. I was told that that she is a girl and was also told that she is a 'light barred', though from what I've read, light barred females aren't really that common.
However, lately I...
:weeJust getting started with a backyard flock of four; a Rhode Island Red, two Plymouth Rocks, and a Silver Laced Wyandotte. Looking forward to getting and sharing as much info on here as possible! :thumbsup
