My nesting boxes are up off the ground. They are too high for babies to get in and out of. I need to move the broody and babies. Only one egg has hatched so far. When do i move them? Do i need to fence off a section of the coop for her and the babies?

Hi everyone! Im hoping I can get some advice on what's going on with my Remy's comb. As so many if us have, we've had quite a cold snap. It got down to -6 here. The girls were all in the coop during the coldest parts of the week. Its back up in the 30's now and will be in the 60s by end of...

This is Merida my Welsummer. She's 10 weeks old. It looks like she has varicose veins! She shows no sign that it hurts her. She runs, struts, jumps with no issues. Has anyone seen this before? Is it a cause for concern?

I love Rural King! That being said... I always seem to get a "mystery chick" lol. The first time I bought 4 speckled Sussex and got three speckled Sussex and a Welsummer. This time I picked out two Buff Orpingtons and got one BO and this girl! At first I thought she was a Cochin because...

Help! I put my fully feathered 8 week old speckled sussex chivks outside. They've been doing great! Today the forecast took a dive. (Forecast is attached). They seem to be loving it outside, even in the 40s. Do I need to bring them back inside for the night's in the 30s? Or are they...
