Merry Christmas! I have 3 five month old pullets I would like to integrate into my flock of four hens and one Roo (all approx 16 months old). The pullets have been visible to the others for about 3 months in their own little coop and run. They also Appear to be about the same size as the older...
Hi all! I have 5 pullets approximately 7 months and 6.5 months old who are kept in a pen while coop is still being built. My neighbor’s large flock free ranges over to my yard daily and some have become very familiar. One especially sweet roo approximately 8 or 9 months old we call Boogie. He...
Hey! We are moving right along on the coop build. (That’s the Royal “we”) Just looking for any suggestions or red flags you might see. I have 2 pullets (hatched 8/14/22) in the tiny Amazon coop in the run but they need to be able to move out soon so I placed the slightly raised pallet to give...
I’m getting better I think, learning so much on here! These two are approximately 9 weeks. If pullets can I add them to my run with the 6wk old pullets? The two red photos are same chick. The other two chicks in their group have already been ID’d as cockerels and are much bigger.
I think the 3 chicks in my pen are all pullets Hatched 7/5/22. There are 3 cockerels I could introduce along with their pullet buddies (Free rangers from next door).
One is about 12 weeks, the other two are approx 9 weeks. Could they be introduced to the 6wk old pullets without a problem? Or...
I’m sorry about the poor positioning. These two are elusive. They are approximately 9 weeks, both smaller than the other 2 in the clutch. The dark one is beautiful am hoping she‘s a pullet
I have four 4-wk old chicks in a pen. Momma is back with the flock. I added Wanda who has two 1 wk old chicks this morning. She is a sweet hen.
One of the original four was looking puny and separating hisself so I was planning to take him out today to examine. When I got home for lunch I found...
Same question - pullet or cockerel?
These chicks are about 3-4 weeks younger than Boogie and Elphaba. I cant get a good photo of Elphaba, but she has green legs. 😂
I have a hen (Judy) who hatched 4 chicks on 7/6/22. The next hen (Wanda) hatched two on 7/28/22. Judy and her checks were successfully moved into the run with no other chickens in it. They have happily taken care of all the vegetation and constantly kick mulch into their water and food...
Hello all! Hope summer is treating you right. It is very warm and humid here in E TN. We have our run prepared, no coop yet, but I have built a nest in an old tire I picked up and everything is ready for whichever of my neighbor‘s chickens decide to make it home. In the meantime, a hen who I was...
Good morning! My approximately 3 yr old rooster has a mottled, splotchy black comb. Otherwise he seems fine. It actually looked a little better earlier in the week but now is worse again. Is this something I need to be concerned about? His toes are also slightly pink where they attach to the foot
Hi everybody! I’m new to chickens and just inherited a small flock from my neighbor.

(3) What breeds do you have?
