    What breed are these two, anyway?

    My two blue ladies, Diamond and Jewel, were ordered as [ https://townlinehatchery.com/product/araucana-ameraucana-strain/ ] And I ended up with an Easter Egger, an actual Ameraucana, and... well, these two! I was told in an earlier thread of mine they are not Ameraucanas. So I’m asking again...

    Opening up the Nesting Box & Separating the Flock

    My chicks are about 13 weeks old. To date, I have blocked the nesting box off to prevent them from getting used to sleeping in them. (I have two of the backyard pre-fab coops for my 6 pullets). I have 2 questions: 1 - When do I open the nesting boxes? I have 2 spangled hamburgs which supposedly...

    Our Pullets Stopped Roosting!??

    We have two pullets that were broody raised here with us. They are about 4 months old now. The broody hen quit caring for them (or being nice to them) at around 6 weeks. I built my coop with a removable wall in the middle for integrating new ones. That seemed to work OK - the babies would...

    Any ideas on "Which Pullet is Laying" Pic of Egg Included

    I have five pullets that are 2 days shy from being 23 weeks old. The flock consists of 2 SLWyandotte's, 2 Barred Rocks, and 1 Buff Orpington. I know the 2 Barred Rocks are laying because they squat. The other 3 do not squat. Today, I had THREE EGGS in the nesting box. I checked the nesting box...

    Gentleman Roo

    When does a cockerel reach full maturity? Adam has grown in size, behavior, and personality, and he's a surprising gentleman. He watches over the flock, shows the girls where all the good food/treats are, digs dust baths and leaves them vacant for his leading ladies, and he enjoys dancing...

    Awkward timing - chicks to coop in winter

    With winter so close, when can I move our 4 chicks to the coop? October in the PNW is cold- low 50s daytime and 40s at night. I hadn’t planned on starting chicks in the Fall, but circumstances led us to get babies in September. They are 50/50 feathers and fluff. Will their huddled bodies provide...

    Maybe dumb question about timing of getting chickens

    Is it possible to get pullets in late fall and have them in an outdoor coop over winter so that they should be close to laying come spring? Do people ever do that or is it a horrible idea? I’m totally new to chickens. Thanks!!

    Play time!

    My 4 month old chickens are being let out of the run under supervision. I opened the gate, picked a spot in the yard to sit, and watched! So much fun to watch them all explore and play! One of my lady spitzhaubens had a blast- I had a water bottle, and she came over and took the cap right out...

    I have three 23 week old pullets and three 18 month old chickens, all heritage breeds. The pullets have not started to lay yet and because of their breeds may not for a while yet. The pullets began living in the same coop/run with the older girls six weeks ago and I have been feeding all six...
