My old rooster killed a rat once. It was flat as a pancake. So they will kill them but I've never had them eat it.

I do have a fence that the chicks might go through and end up in the street or driveway so should I start with 1 hour supervised free range? My biggest worry is that the chicks might follow the lead of the big chickens who know they can't go into the street and have the chicks end up in the...

My new chicks are going to be 3 months old when I put them out and my current hens are 4 and 5 years old. I have a run attached to my coop that they will be able to access and be locked in. My older hens will not be free ranging during the period of time that the new chicks are being integrated...

How long do I need to keep my new chickens in the coop with my old ones before I let them out to free range? I've got 11 chicks that are due to go into my big coop in a few weeks to join my 4 four big girls. In the summer I tend to free range my chickens daily as we see less predators then and I...

Thank you for the help

I got chicks 5 weeks ago and they are around 5 weeks now. We got one chick from the bantam bin. They were no specific breeds listed on the label for the bin just "miniatures of popular breeds". When we first got him he was tiny and by far the smallest chick out of the batch we got (11 chicks)...

Does the chick have feathers or fluff on it's legs and feet?

That would be super interesting!

How old are they?

I don't believe that either. I've got 4 year old leghorns and they don't lay very often anymore (when they do lay). Older hens do not lay that often

Chickens should have free choice feed. They will not over eat. They have limits. You shouldn’t be feeding 18 hens a few handfuls ever 7 hours as they will not get adequate food and will likely begin to lose weight. The reason why you may think your chickens are over eating is that they are...

I'd say that the chick may be a bit younger than a week old. I'd say he or she is just younger than the rest

Agree with everyone here

I don't have any good ones but 101 Dressage Exercises for horse and rider is a great book that I recommend. Amazon link (kindle version because I'm too lazy to find the book version)...

Thank you!

where are you getting your chicks from?

I think if she had purple skin since birth then it should be okay. If she has it all over her body then she should be fine. I was just wondering

ouch! Not too sure how many people will buy the food at that price. Hopefully they can bring down the price and increase the size of the bags in the near future.
