Never heard of that before. I will have to check it out and see if that is something around here.

No I certainly do not. That is an idea. I have to figure out a way under the slide to get them though.

Last fall, I suddenly had rats that are living in and under my shed. The chicken run is behind the shed and the nursery coop is in a corner of my shed. The rats have eaten or removed all the insulation in the wall of the coop. My neighbor who never mowed his yard (about 4 acres) and left...

Sorry I missed the questions but I added them to my post above!

Came home today to my serama chicken gasping. Her comb is pale too. Keeps closing her eyes too. She was vibrant red comb last weekend and earlier this week. Eating and drinking fine. Pooping normal as well. There are only 3 chickens in this coop/run. 2 seramas and one barred rock who is...

No I do not wear a mask. My coop is off the ground and has a full size door on the end. I put a wheel barrel at the door and using a hoe pull it all into the wheel barrel. However I am outside. The nesting boxes are on the side with their own lift lid. I use a hand shovel to put the...

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

Thanks! Yes I love the variety! And they get along wonderfully too. Well except for my golden girls. They are with babies right now and no issues there. The barred rock (Plum) lets them run all over her. The adults though find her as a weakness.

I do! Thank you.

Thanks. I am hoping they are. Super dark black leg wash on both of them. And Lily wings are half solid black with the tips white. Millie’s are striped too but more black. I just need to wait and see.

No worries and thank you for the help!

His comb is bigger than mine at 9 1/2 weeks old here.

Thanks. And I am not surprised but was more confused than anything.

I just realized that I posted 9 1/2 but Remi is 10 1/2. Oops

So the fact the Remi acts non roo like is not something to judge by. Ok that makes. But I was hoping it might have been a dominant hen. My other barred rock adult was a dominant hen. She crowed and ruled all even my roo until she became blind. The poor thing.

Remi in the sun and in shade. Remi with one of sisters, and the sisters.

I have read everything I can on telling the differences for barred rocks. I purchased mine from a local farmer where I saw the parents. They are not the typical barred rocks as the roo was above my knee but not mid thigh. Mom was just below my knee. Where he got them from had them as bigger...

Hi everyone! My name is Marcie. (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I have had chickens for 3 years so I am still learning and relatively new. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? I have 8 adults, and 10 babies. Of the adults I have a blind chicken and...
