I have the strangest rooster behavior going on right now. My man Polko (turned 1yr old in February, Moss Egger roo), he’s been placing his butt up against a wall, or in a corner & making these silly, but sweet screeching & clucking sounds. He’s doing it mostly around our matriarch hen (BCM). And...

…would like to find homes for these boys. Anyone interested in egg-color experiments might have fun with these guys. I’d love to keep them and try myself, but our coop/run isn’t big enough to start hatching chicks on top of the 8 hens we already have, plus the roos. Moss Eggers… possible that...

These boys are quite friendly, just about 19 weeks old & very healthy. They’ve been fed extremely well… all organic grains. I’d love to find them a flock. Purchased as day-old chicks from Alchemist Farm in Sebastopol. They produce beautiful saturated green or brown green eggs, when female...

Fascinating! Playing 528radio.com (528 hertz music) for the chickens while I'm out here with them for their forage session. They're all just sitting, listening to the music, instead of out foraging. The door is open for them. What’s your experience with music & your chickens?

I was curious… I know some people don’t like to talk about chicken finances. I’m asking, to those who are willing to say, how much did your first egg cost? I’ll go first… even though I haven’t even harvested a single egg yet (9 week old chicks on Monday). Our first egg will cost over $5k. We...

First time chick mamma here… I have 11 chicks that will be 9 weeks old on Monday. I’m trying to figure out the right feed schedule for them. I’m just finishing up the starter feed from New Country Organics, mixed with scratch & peck grower feed, a little handful of flax, hemp hearts & sesame...

I did a couple of searches & didn’t see anything very specific to this question. So forgive me if this has been hashed & rehashed. What’s your favorite way to clean wood in your coop? I’m a newbie & I’m trying to figure out the best way to clean the messier poops that dried on the wood. I...

I wanted to wait for as long as I could before posting this. I think I’m now emotionally ready to hear the thoughts & observations with sexing… cockerels or pullets? 😳🙏🏻 I have 5 straight run chicks. They turned 6 weeks old on Monday. Manqué & Rapha… Both French Black Copper Marans

I’ll be a first time chicken owner in a month. I’m getting everything I need together now. I thought for sure there would be a thread on how much bedding you need to have on hand to last a while, especially with the difficulty it’s been to get certain things sometimes. I could not find a thread...

Hello everyone! I remember like it was yesterday, sitting on my uncle’s bench, in his chicken run while visiting him in Oregon, from where we lived in California. I sat there for hours, just watching. Fascinated. While my family chatted amongst themselves. I was completely content & at peace...
