pullets and hens

Hi my fellow chicken friends. I live in Colorado Springs Colorado and I used to have a guy out in Peyton that told me chickens but he moved way too far away for me to drive. I'm looking to buy some pullets probably five or more. Trying to find someone within an hour or so of the Springs so that...

So I went out to the chicken coop probably about an hour and a half ago. While I was out there, I checked for eggs (there were none) and cleaned out their water container... I noticed one of my olive egger pullets acting funny... she was being very vocal and going back and forth from the water...

This is mostly just a curiosity thread to hear about the unique vocalizations that everyone's chickens have, as I've come to realize not every hen clucks the same. 😁 For example, I have two 3 month old Black Australorp pullets (whom we lovingly call the Twins) and both of them loudly honk...

I have 2 pullets and 3 hens. I have slowly been introducing the pullets with the hens. Today they free ranged all together, and besides a few pecking order squabbles, all went pretty well. Tonight I went to shut the coop door and checked to see if all chickens were there, but only the 3 hens...

So I have three Pullets in an enclosure within my chicken run, to try to acclimate them to my older flock. My flock usually free range, however, I wanted them to get to know their new flock mates, instead of avoiding them, when they free range. My question is this: How long can I expect to...

We have various pullets/hens for sale in Central WI BLRW 1.5 yrs old FBCM 4 months old Several more that are between 2-3 months. We purchased from both Meyer and McMurray this year and to not have to pay through our noses for shipping we got more birds than we need. If you are looking for...

I am not sure because we have beautiful pullets (they aren't a year old yet but just starting to lay eggs..) and they don't lay blue eggs like we were told. I am very upset and confused about all of this. They are about 6 months and no blue eggs. We have for sure one chicken not laying. So the...

Silver Lace Wyandotte’s, Rhode Island Reds Redmond Washington just about ready to lay.

I have three 12-week old pullets that I am slowly introducing to my existing flock of 5 chickens (2 are 2-1/2 years old and 3 are 1-1/2 years old). I currently have the pullets in a temporary run next to the main coop/run for the next month until I take the final steps to fully integrate them...

Hello, if anybody has, or knows somebody who has Aseel chickens that they're trying to get rid of for free, or selling for a low price PM me? Gonna use these birds for a project if I can get any. I'll accept 4-5 birds if price is affordable. We can't travel to the location if it's out of my...

The situation is that I had a very small, clearly lowest of the pecking order bantam when I first arrived at the farm. She was only 6-7 weeks old so I said, “Hey, I’ll keep her in my bathroom no problem with another small bantam” (we were having major possum and raccoon troubles and lost half...

Hello everyone! I'm a brand new chicken owner and proudly raising 6 hens ( 3 barred rock and 3 light brahmas ). I just found this website through a google search and am looking to share my story with other chicken owners and learn about how to best take care of these chickens . Thanks...

Hi all, first post. I am chicken-sitting for a friend who is away (and out of contact) for another week. I’ve managed to get through one thunderstorm and two of the hottest days of the year, but tonight/tomorrow/Tuesday are supposed to continue raining. I have two sets of chickens. 6 laying...

I've been reading a lot here on BYC about how/when to introduce pullets to an existing flock. I have three approximately 13 week old pullets (salmon faverolle, americana and light brahma) and three in my existing flock (brown leghorn, maran and blue opringtion) that are about 1-1/2 years old. I...

i have 16 pullets and 7 Roos (one Roo I won’t be butchering; probably a buff orp) and I want to start incorporating them into my existing flock of 11 ISA Brown and 2 Orpington hens (lav and black x buff) and 2 Orpington roosters (lav and a black that I will be having for dinner in the next...

One of my Barnevelder hens got attacked by a hawk last winter and survived, she was isolated from the flock for about a month while she recovered from her wounds - which were pretty severe. Before the attack, she was at the bottom of the pecking order but they all got along (ate together...

I have about 60 chicks of a few various breeds(Brown Leghorn, White Leghorn, Rhode Island Red, Barred Plymouth Rock, Gold Laced and Silver Laced Wyandotte) that I will be selling in a few months(in the spring) as 6 month old pullets and I don't know what to price them at. Everyone, except the...

I have 6, 19 week old pullets. They sleep in an eglu at night. Quite jam packed. I have 2, 6 year old hens in the main coop. I've tried locking the pullets into the run with the main coop at night but they wander around distraught. I can't just lock the young girls in the coop for a few days...
