    No Electricity to Coop, Need Solar Option

    Thank you so much for the input :) I have cold hearty girls and we have been in the high 90s and they are not enjoying it. I will make sure to look at options with battery backup.

    No Electricity to Coop, Need Solar Option

    I do not have electricity running to my chicken coop and have no idea what what I am doing regarding solar? I have been looking at solar options to run a couple of fans for my girls. I would need enough power to run two fans during the day and one in the coop overnight. I was considering a...

    I am going to build tunnels. I was going to frame them with 1x2s and cover in hardware cloth (similar to this picture). I will get a pic of the run shortly.

    Relationship Between Hen and Grown Chicks: Will She Be Nicer?

    I have a broody Brahma hen. I have her hatching some Salmon faverolles eggs (I know this breed is prone to bullying). I was wondering if anyone has noticed after a hen raises chicks, if she is kinder to those chicks as adults and less likely to bully them?

    Divided Chicken Coop?

    I may have a bully in my flock (not sure if it is just a reaction to the broody hen getting special treatment) and will have some eggs hatching soon. I may have to split my current coop in half and add a separate run. Did you notice any stress with the chickens able to see each other but not...

    Broody Hen and Egg Adoption

    Good Morning, I will be getting a couple of fertilized eggs for my broody hen to hatch. Picking them up, they won't be shipped. I was wondering if I need to do anything special before putting the eggs under her? The info I found online refers to shipped eggs and letting them sit for about 12...
