You’re welcome. I see others are suspect of number 4 too. The feathering vs the coloring of the comb and wattles has me unsure. They sure are pretty. Time will definitely tell.

How old are they and do you know the breed? Its hard to tell but based on rounded looking neck and tail feathers, short combs and barely any wattles they appear to be female. #4 looks to be getting some pink color which is why I am curious about the age too, usually comb development on...

Hello! I have been busy, new baby in December! Havent forgotten about my chooks though, in fact I make time for them daily. All is well with the girls lately othan than their usual sassy antics. Here is a recent photo where they had themselves a sunny slumber party.

There are so many great recommendations!! When I did my research I found that the Chicken Guard appealed to me the most. Not sure if anyone else has suggested or not. But the door actually locks as well to help keep predators with “fingers” from lifting it up. It is expensive but it was well...

Handsome boy!!

I love reading these replies. Some literally had me :lau The only “punishing” I do is to my rooster Hank when he’s showing his rear to me. I pick him up and cuddle him and talk sweet to him. I think he hates it, doesn’t always work but I mostly grab him to just get him to quit. They’re all pets...

Bless your heart, horrible story. So sorry, definitely don’t blame you for building fort knox. We free ranged when we were home but that wasn’t enough to stop predators. I lost one to a hawk, after that if I let mine out, I watch them like a hawk, despite my rooster doing the same (he is still...

I started with 6…Hank, Baby (or babes), Charcoal (Char Char), Ashes, Biscuit, and Gravy. Sadly we lost Gravy. I’ve got 8 more coming out of the brooder and want to name them but waiting til they get bigger to tell them apart. They are all barred rock 😂

Thankful I came across this. My first batch were 4 weeks old so they were not in the brooder long and the guy we got them from said they had already been outside. My new batch are 8 pullets and only a week old. I started with pads and will switch to sand in a day or two. Love the info in this...

I think it's because it's spring time. My rooster, Hank, does all of the above as well, and they are all the same age (just under a year). He waits right outside the coop door in the morning for the girls to come out and he grabs them. They have started coming out the door in pairs almost as if...

Thank you all for opening my eyes. Ill go put my foil hat back on then I guess. Didn’t mean to start a whole other debate. Everyone should be asking questions.

I’m not trying to start an argument, I have followed him for years and did not intend to turn this around on one man. Many folks in this thread are talking about sending feed for testing and I applaud it. Regardless of what anyone thinks of him, It’s interesting that all these things are...

Mike Adams (Health Ranger) is conducting these tests already at his food science lab in Austin, TX. Preliminary results show that TSC producers pride has 2x the amount of glyphosate than the other brands he tested. I understand he is posting full results next week someitme on his website.

I’ve been reading a lot of these feed posts like everyone else, I just want to comment if anyone has ever heard of naturalnews.com, Mike Adams has a food science lab and regularly tests products for human consumption (that he sells himself) and he has recently completed testing on 6 or 7 brands...
