Every wk. it’s a lot but I sell my eggs. You can go in anytime of yrs and see clean coops. I have big coop holds 50 chickens and a med coop holds 25 30. Birds. They go in what one they want. Two brooders. One for pulleys one for chicks.

I have hens hatch all my eggs and raise them. It’s so much easier. Even guineas. Hens r wonderful mother’s. But not the other way around. Ducks r good moms guineas r not!

I Give them layer pellets when I Move them into the hatching box area, big coop general population. Around 5 months Unless they start before laying before. when they r mature and I know they r going to start laying.

Yes first couple nights pick them up at dusk walk them in. They will get it. Put water outside incase they dont get in..have food water inside always.

I feel your pain.. I have a farm. Call dog officer. If you can prove it was there dog. FEES AND REPLACE YOUR BIRDS. Next time shoot it!

More then three. How long have u been getting a couple eggs a day. Ok listen if one chicken lays in a weird spot they all lay. Always need to keep an eye out. Take all the eggs even a weird spot. If one keeps doing leave them in for a couple days put golf balls in nest boxes. So they know hay...

Yes get new chicks ASAP. Always keep a cover and secure them top and sides from all proctors! Cats dogs raccoons coyotes foxes ect. They r babies they have no defense without there mother. yah pastry butt. Put olive oil on the butt after cleaning, so nothing sticks and they eat it it helps...

They like dark boxes.. cover or put golf balls in the lighted ones..

where is there coop to roost in at night? They needed a coop with a sliding door for food and water. They go out during the day to scratch..If takin its a coyotes or fox. They r eating them..

they came back from that takes a month. It’s less sunlight.. and if cold to save energy to keep warm..

It’s both the weather and sun.. they use all the energy to stay warm.. and stop laying after the day gets shorter. If u have a streak of warm weather they might lay a day or two.. I put a light in the coop, with timer to come on 430 to sun comes up.. yes am not pm.. tricks them for more light...

It’s the cold and sun..

They will bath any where they please. I hose them to keep that area moist them out.. they get in everything if not fenced..

Yahhhhh
