I want to add too, I can’t put their brooder inside the coop. The man who built our coop made the door very narrow. Nothing is fitting inside there.

I need some help please. I made a big mistake and got to many chicks for the area they are in. I guess my eyes got bigger than my brain and since last year we could not lay hands on chicks, I made sure this year we got our fair share. But I just didn't think about the brooder size. We have 14...

I have 4 rhode island blues (3 weeks old) 4 barnevelders (3 weeks old) 4 buff orpingtons, (going on 2 weeks old) 1 olive egger and (2 weeks) 1 silver laced wyandotte (2 weeks) At what point can I tell if we have any roosters. I am not good at judging this but is there something I can look for...

Today I went to get my eggs out, fairly fresh to make scrambled eggs and as I cracked my last egg open, PHEWWWWW, the smell was overwhelming. It smelled like real strong ammonia, so much so that if affected my taste buds as if I dissolved a pill in my mouth. It took forever to wash the smell off...

Can someone make sense of this for me because when I posted this asking on facebook why this is, basically I was laughed at and told that is impossible. So someone has to explain how. At the time I had only 4 hens. ( I have more now but I am speaking about at that time). So two of my hens are...

Hey Everyone. I am sorry I have not updated and will do on my actual post. We killed the Rooster that night I made this post. He just got so ugly and mean that he had one of our best laying hens down, ripping her feathers out and tore her comb. She was busted up pretty good. So we tried...

Our baby chicks are about 3 months now. They are getting to be a good size. I am wondering when they can start staying outside permanently? Also I have been slowly introducing the chicks to the big girls who are still kinda being aggressive to them. I know it is a slow process but I am hoping...

Do you know good places to go get feed for a good price, baby chicks, chicken supplies, etc....???

O wow, I live in Harmony. LOL

We have some chicks that are going on 2 months old. 3 are barred rocks. Where we got them from they said they are normally 95% sure they are female but once in a while they get some Roos. Well, we are not good at determining if they are male or female at this age except just watching some...
