I love to be in my garden.

Thanks. Yeah I know he's not being their big brother but right now I know they're not of breeding age. The little ones are small compared the rest. We can't have roosters in our area and I think the whole bunch might get along better without them.

We have two pullets and two cockerels that are 2 months old and have been raised together. Recently we have acquired 3 hens who are part of a flock and 3 more 5 month old pullets who are part of a flock. (so three little groups) My dominant cockerel protects his girls from the older pullets and...

Thank you all so much.

These two were born November 3rd. I know it is kinda difficult to know for sure what gender they are. I have my suspicions however I was just liking a second opinion. I can post more pics if needed of them standing. Thanks in advance!

What about Turken? She has these chicks' "parents" on site but she also has Turkens which I think also have 5 toes.

OK, so we have been watching this chick for the past few weeks and she has not gotten any worse but not gotten any better either. Still no sneezing, wheezing or smelliness. Growing fast and beautiful despite the eye thing. We have been giving all the chicks electrolytes. She has been getting...

There are 2 Australorp, 2 Buff Orpingtons,1 splash Cochin and 1 blue Cochin. I should have said that I guess up front, lol. I'm pretty sure one of the Australorps is a roo. He's a cocky little sucker. I picked out all of them so it would be awesome if they were all pullets. :yesss:

As far as I can tell they don't look like it.

That's kinda what I was thinking. Very interesting. Thanks for the reply! ;)

I recently acquired a blue and a blue splash Cochin. I noticed the other day that the splash had a toe with two toes at the very end. Yesterday I noticed the same thing on the blue. Is this a birth defect? Will it affect their walk, balance, etc? It's not a whole toe of its own it just looks...

Thanks. I have done quite a bit of researching since I noticed it but nothing seems to point to one thing or another. The only symptom is the eyes. Her bedding is clean pine shavings. Started them on electrolytes for the heck of it. Idk I've talked to the lady we got them from who is very...

Yeah that thought crossed my mind but both eyes are affected. She's eating, drinking and pooping normally. It's just the conjunctiva that is swollen and red. No nasal discharge or smell. No sneezing or wheezing. We've had her a week and she's about three weeks old. Her and her sibling are the...

Two week old Buff's eye whites are red. The rest of my chicks have big clear sparkly eyes but hers are just not right. She eats and drinks but prefers to sit with her eyes closed. New to chickies so I am just going off gut instinct that something's not right. Of course my husband says she looks...

Great! Thanks for the encouragement. Now to build!

Our town caved under the pressure last fall and gave in to urban coops. No roos, 6 hen max plus all sorts of coop regulations and permits but it's well worth it for us. I just don't want to sacrifice an animal's sanity for our own amusement.

OK that makes me feel much better. I have to deal with anxiety ridden dogs so I don't need chickens with complexes. So, the noise thing is pretty much cleared up. How about location? Which would be better for the chickens?
