First off I have 21 hens and a roo (hens, Pellets, cockrell) last year I had started my chicken keeping journey with 9.. I incubated my own eggs and some shipped eggs in which I kept several, processed some Cockrell and sold or gave away others. That being said.. I have a few of my hens from...

These chick's are from my friends eggs he gave me to hatch and told me to keep them. Sex and breed guesses? First one I believe is a cockrell.. born with a white spot on his head. I wasn't sure what he was for a while but I believe he is a bielfelder? Second one is I think a girl.. not sure on...

I thought it would be nice to share pictures of our coop builds to inspire others as they build their own. Maybe it will give them ideas.. Here is mine.. still messing with it tho.. can't get the roosts right to suit me. By the end of summer I will have about 25 pullets/hens and a couple...

I have a full bag that I just opened. It appears to have clumps but not hard.. more like almost webbed together? Like bugs do.. I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the bug. I don't think it's moldy but I want to confirm with you all before I even decide to feed it to my chick's as...

I have 5 chick's 5-6 weeks old.. one is a bantam and no bigger then a 3 week old chick.. would it be ok to integrate them this young? The reason I'm considering it now is I have 14 chick's almost 2 weeks old in a different brooder and want to put them in the brooder the 5 are currently in.. a...

5 of the 6 eggs from my friends flock hatched today 😊 they are mixed flock but he has speckled Sussex, black jersey giant, sapphire gem, RIR and I think a silver laced wyandotte.. roos are varied and probably mixed but these little red babies make me a little excited that they may have speckled...

Idk what is going on. My chickens have bright blue poo! All I have fed them besides their feed is mealies and some bread with raisins. Nothing out of the ordinary other then getting them a purple Cabbage a few hours ago . That couldn't have gone through them that fast could it? They are still...

How long after the incubator says 00 days do you feel there is no hope for an egg? I did ask on a other thread but didn't get an answer. Yesterday was day "1" and I have 3 pipped and 3 not pipped or moving or anything since lockdown. 3 OE and a BCM.. they are from my shipped eggs.. how many more...

I integrated my three 8 week old chick's today, Walter, Blackberry and Shadow.. my low hen was super mad and mean but no blood drawn. Just a few feathers lost and some squawking.. I was overall pretty pleased with the introduction. We put a pool ladder in there that the adults don't use but...
