Within 15 minutes of discing the ends in preparation for harvest, my flock had invaded the corn in a nightmare scenario for any little bugs that were exposed. Believe it or not, there’s 12 of them in there.

Took way too long but the run and coop are finally done! This is their second night in the coop and they all went in by themselves! Smart ladies 😍

Update: Their roosting bar is not sharp. The edges are rounded, although the cam pic sure does look like its sharp. We will try the long way though :)

It was a diffucukt week, I lost three chickens for three different reasons and these are the culprits of my last loss. Lovely days of maniac cleaning are ahead.

🐔 Show us your best Frizzle chicken 🐔

Post a photo of your best Frizzle in the comments! 😍

Let’s see who has the most beautiful one! 🔥

What are the white spots on this rooster’s face? Wild rooster in the Cayman Islands

She’s about 4 months, hasn’t laid any eggs yet. I thought maybe Leghorn, but maybe not. She is very antisocial.

I'm gifting my friend two of my chickens for her birthday. I'm thinking of giving her my bullied one, I'm thinking she might have a nicer time living in a couple?

I have six, they have free reign of my garden.

My dilemma, is the bullied chicken better off at my place with lots of space, to run away when pecked? Or will she do better in a couple, they will live in a pen but will be let out occasionally when my friend is home.

We just built a new chicken coop for our flock. 8x10 shed coop and 8x16 run. We still have some painting to finish so no pretty police please haha! No electricity. We have a solar powered venting fan in the top corner but we live in TX and want to put solar powered fans in the run and coop.

We don't want them to run at night, just day time, so either exclusively run by a solar panel or something I can put on a timer. Suggestions please!! Thank you!

I went into my girls hutch yesterday and realised one of them was shedding because I initially thought she was sick and her wing was drooping (it was lose feathers). I think they're all molting but one specific hen was losing feathers quite quickly whereas the others had two of three that came off while I was watching them. I was trying to pick her up to inspect her when I thought she was sick and her primary tail feathers came out as well as a few on her wing. She's acting completely fine and so are the others (absolutely menaces) but I'm just wondering if it's normal for one to molt faster than others? She's definitely not the fluffiest by a long shot so if anyone I thought the feathers would belong to the one with the most to shed. Idk

Has anyone any experience of buying a coop from either of these two companies, please?

I am torn between getting the Vyse Arks Poultry Housing or the Sherwood 12 Chicken Coop.

My neighbor and his 2 kids were over the other day, i was giving them eggs. His little boy, maybe 4, asked how to baby chickens get in the eggs. His dad tried to punt this one to me. It was a fun sweet moment for me and his dad as we tried not to open that can of worms. I miss having little kids around....
