I have 4/15 roosters got them march 31
Yesterday morning upon taking the chickens out of coop, biggest bird (cockeral) and dotty(pullet)had each others beaks interlocked. Lots of sqwauking occurred finally upon pspspspspspspsing at them, they let go and biggest bird shook its head. Well I’ve...
Done everything a*s backwards , so my question is how wide do I make a chicken door to go in and out of the coop/run
It’s going to be about 12inch off the chicken coop floor (trying to do deep litter method)
I believe 1/5 speckled Sussex appears to be a cockeral
3/3 of the Delawares appear to be cockeral as well however I am not sure
Any ideas?
7 weeks this Friday
my daughter spilled the feed on the way back down to the house in the grass. It rained and I noticed today it’s growing all this white furry mold I’m assuming.
What can I do to get rid of this ?
Wash it away with water? Won’t that just spread it around?
Idk what to do about it. It’s a pretty...
Hello first time chickie owner
I originally order 15 chickens
5 pullet speckled Sussex
5 pullet Easter eggers
5 straight run cinnamon queens
They gave me 2 cinnamon queens and 3 Delawares
Pullet I’m assuming female and straight run is a mix?
Well now that they are almost 6 weeks I’m trying to...
15 chickens are 5 weeks Friday.
It’s 60 sunny and they are fully feathered
Can I take them out in the run?
I’ve been keeping the window open everyday to provide fresh natural air.
They seem done with the heat lamp
They hate it inside I feel horrible
Hello first time chicken owner of 15. This is a 8x10 chicken run built from 2x4s and cattle panels, attached to the side of the shed.
I would like to know if the roosting perch’s in there are in a good position. I have yet to cut their little chicken door which I read is supposed to be 6inches...
Woke up this morning. Did my usual routine. Come to sit at my desk in my room and notice this dust stuff everywhere. Okay here I conclude it’s just because the chicken feed bag is on top of the desk and maybe the dust got everywhere.
I’m sitting here looking at my black phone screen and notice...
Hi there chickie friends,
We have had our 15 chickens for one week now and I have noticed the chickens are pecking at the cardboard box. I feel like they are bored and need to be provided with some natural elements.
Would it be okay if I gave some grass/dirt with worms to my little friends...
The little babies are finally here and after a long eventful stressful day, I am finally able to relax,sorta! 😅
I have changed up their brooder so many times, seeing what works and what doesn’t. I have realized that I need to make a hanging water bottle nipple thingie, it’ll definitely give...
I would like to transform one of the sheds on our property that is in good condition into a chicken coop and build a chicken run on the exterior. For reference I am soon to have 15 new chicks and this shed is 16x16. I am new to all of this and I am scared to ask/ don’t feel comfortable asking...
hello chickie friends,
Pretty new here not sure if I’m doing this right. I was wondering if this set up I have is okay to house 15 baby chicks until they get bigger? I’m going to rig a heat lamp to hang over. Tips, suggestions?
Thank you🐣
