Normally I don't take in a baby like this, but the egg was pushed into a corner with rejects, when I went to toss it... it pipped and the egg broke . When it finally moved out of the shell, the "umbilical" or maybe " egg sac" was still attached.... is it worth the time and I know it sounds...

I have a teenager RIR/Golden Lace roo named Adonis and many black ? bantam hen and a silver sebright hen and a comet. I am wondering what will happen if he tries to cover the bantams? Will the bantams produce viable eggs and if so any idea on sizes? Or will he wind up hurting them? Am not...

Got 5, 10 week olds from a nearby person looking to rehome them, I paid $4 a piece for them, but already having a slightly younger roo, I am worried one of these is a roo... the attitude kind of shows...LOL Can anyone help me try to place the breeds and sex? Thanks for all the...

I happened to be on a prepper site because they were showing a article I wanted to read, and found this link... after looking through MANY plans, I thought I should share it here for all those looking for ideas and concrete blueprints for possible coops. Some of these plans might have been...

https://www.backyardchickens.com/products/prevue-465-red-barn-chicken-coop/reviews/9869 This is the coop I have and am debating separating into possibly 2 different buildings, since I don't need the run part of it. But I need ideas... I was thinking of connecting them somehow and raising it on...

My 2.5 month olds already free range in the yard and now the babies who are a month old want to be out with them, I can tell from their sad faces peeking out of the fence watching the others get to play in the grass. When is a good time to try letting them go? I want a united flock... Brynda...

I started out with 6, then 5 now a bunch of new babies.... Lucia, Lita and Lena have grown into their white feathering but I am wondering what are they? Brutus (the surprise roo) and Big Bertha are Cornish X's.. but my 3 angels have yet to be truly named. I am also the Mother Hen to 5 new...

(Meant to say Tired in the title) Lucia is one of my "leghorn?" girls who I bought at Tractor Supply on March 3rd... she was friendly but now seems to just curl up and be by herself a lot. Or she will come sit at my feet when I come in the coop and want to be held? Any ideas what might be...

Vader or Onyx, as I don't know the sex yet is a mystery bantam to me... the colors don't seem to match most of what I have seen, and I looked hard. He/She is a daring little chick, loves being the tiniest badass around...lol, even with my Cornish X, Brutus. This chick is only a month old...lol...

How does one get to review a "store bought" coop so others who might be considering it can be informed of the Pro's and Con's? I bought one and it has a huge mix of both but in the end it's a great little home to the flock! I would love to offer suggestions or my opinion on it and maybe others...

I have a group of chicks I bought from TS first week of March and a new batch I just bought last week. I would like to know how soon I can mix the 2 groups? The 2 Cornish Crosses (a roo and a hen) are going to a new Home soon as they were not what I wanted due to their major size and the fact I...

The other day I was perusing Pintrest and kept seeing these pvc feeders for chickens. I decided to try my luck and make one, omg it was so simple. On the site, most called it a no spill chicken feeder, I just call it a lot easier as I can put several days feed in it with no worries. I am...

My coop is on grass 10x10x6 fenced in yard at the moment but I wondered about using pine needles as a layer for easy cleaning as I have TONS of pine trees ( Also a huge oak tree with always falling leaves) around our property? Instead of raking and burning these nuisances, could I possibly be...

This is Phoenix (named after the Judge Dredd character in the original movie...looks just like him doesn't it...lol) BUT, he/she is a bantam just not sure what, no extra toes and no furry pantlegs. Any ideas? Will post the others when they pose in one place...lol. And let me tell you....this one...

I plan on getting a few more chicks from Tractor Supply this weekend now that the older ones are outside in their new 10x10 playground. Since the chicks will be about 5-6 weeks apart in age, when could I possible add them in as an introduction ? I am planning on bantams, but got an unexpected...
