I have 5 RIR and silver laced Wynadottes. I just got a Bantam RIR in hopes it would "rule the roost" and help boost egg production, etc. I was told it would work. He is Awesome. unfortunately the regular sized RIR's are chasing him. Hes currently residing with the much more mild tempered...

I have a Wynadotte thats kinda listless and recently developed runny poop. She is the smallest of the three. She's the last one out of the coop each day, tending to stay behind and sleep. She was de-wormed about 2 1/2 weeks ago. What can this be a sign of? I'm new to chickens so I could really...

Thanks everyone for your help. We decided to divide the run in half giving each room but being able to live closely and get use to each other.

dont recall the gauge of wire. Its not chicken wire. the squares are tight which doesn't allow predators to get their mouth in to chew. Its nice and heavy. got it @ Lowe's.

the above is of one of my RIRs and my Wynadotte's. Below is a pic of the coop and run just after construction. The other coop was attached to the right side the following day.

Anyone have experience with sexlink's?

So we bought 4mh old Wynadottes. Our goal is to have appX. 12 in our flock. Today my wife got me two Rhode island reds. She thought they were 5 month old but i suspect their older. Immediately they started pecking and bullying the Wynadottes. I know the RIR are a more aggressive breed. Do i have...

Sorry if this seems redundant but I cant find anything on the cut off age to vaccinate your chickens. I have 4 month old hens that we just got. It turns out their not vaccinated. are they too old?

Good morning! Got my first 3 in flock! I'm excited and the new larger run is coming along. I was doing some digging into the best egg laying chikies and I'm told black selling and California (white or grey) are power house layers. Any thoughts? I currently havr silver laced Wynadette and am...

preferably grown. I don't have the setup for chicks.

do you know where I might acquire Wynadette and/or Plymouth rock's?

Mine isn't quite so planned out. I have primarily raised beds and little space. I will be losing alot to my coop(s) and run. BUT...we will be converting a portion of our front yard so we will be doubling our space. Getting dirt has proven difficult. Those who have it charge a fortune for it. I'm...

its one of my favorite hobbies. And with chickens, the insects it attracts alone will be beneficial. Also any of the discarded veggies they'll love. Everyone is happy.

Looking for chicken sellers in or near Hemet Ca. Looking for Wynadette's, Plymouth rock and Rhode island reds. Also would be good to know knowledgeable enthusiasts!

Getting into chickens. Looking for anyone from Hemet, Ca. :)

sadly yes and no. Normal every day waste we have to discard. however, often we get items from our warehouse at a reduced price and we mark It down really really cheap. For example our veggie trays were .98 (large and small, down from 6.98) - so it does happen just not everyday. I'll keep you in...

If I had just chicks and no mature hens to mix them with, would it be the same amount of time?

So I'm looking to get some Wynadette and Plymouth rock chicks (1 week old approximately) how old do they have to be until they can safely be out outside with my Rhode island reds?
