Yeh just the one looks ready. All the others look like they might be a while. But with larger breeds, they might be 7-8 months. It'll happen!

Beautiful artwork. So sorry to hear that you lost your Lil Nappy😞

So...got a bonus chick with our hatchery order, figured out it was a buff cochin but wasn't sure if it was a pullet ot cockerel. Well yesterday when I put my hand inside the cage, it jumped onto it and started doing the rooster hustle. Pushed HIM off, he jumped on again which is when I gave him...

Raised to chicks in my backyard in a small coop. If your good with your neighbors, they won't turn you in. Don't be scared.

Poor girl. If she's bleeding like that, she may be getting picked on my the rest of the flock. I'd keep her separated until she's healed. How did you integrate her? I just had to pull one I tried to put with my flock because she was being bullied . Comb pecking.

My beautiful survivor, Nott. She's supposed to be an Ameraucana, but we think she's a n EE. Love her and her huge blugreen eggs.

Very similar. I'll try to get pix tomo.

Our FBCM are 4 months old now and 1 does not have ANY copper feathers. Very glossy black with iridescent green, violet sheen. Might not be a pullet as it has longer redder wattles than the rest. Could it be Black Marans? Will post pics tomorrow.

Both. And the nest boxes. I use 50/50 mix of water to white vinegar in a quart spray bottle, 20 drops each sweet orange and peppermint essential oil. Shake and spray a light mist over everything. I do this every other day, but scrape daily. You can also use lavender in place of orange if your...

OMG! LOVE THE HAT!

Wish I could record her. None of our other chickens sound like her. She gets to go live with the flock next week. I hope that her new sisters understand her😝🙄
