    Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

    I think I have mine posted somewhere in this thread but maybe not. Here it is again. And I’ll have to whittle numbers down once all 10 babies get to laying age because my run isn’t big enough for 13 full grown hens sadly. I knew that when I place my order for chicks tho, I planned on seeing...

    Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

    I think I'm starting to like the previous feral and a-feared of humans chicks, rather than this batch who are super friendly. I cant even clean their feed/water/sleeping area out with out all of them being all up in my business, underfoot, and in the way. I guess I gotta cut back on the hand...

    Chicago rooftop

    Is there a balcony/deck directly below? I’d worry about waste dripping or being kicked out to the area below.

    run question

    My feeders and waterers are in the run so I’m constantly in and out of the run. Access to grab randomly laid eggs (it most definitely will happen), a sick or hurt chicken, cleaning or inspecting the run structure. There’s many reasons to need easy access to the run. Build a door to it...

    Three gallons fills it to just barely under the rim.

    Moved the flock

    When I moved my flock of 6 from their temporary pen to their permanent pen, I locked them all in the coop for 3 days with food and water. That way they know the proper place to lay eggs and where to roost. My run is also very secure but I didn’t want them sleeping or laying eggs in the run.

    Moved the flock

    Put food and water in the coop and keep them in the coop itself for 2-3 days to home them to the new coop.

    Water heater is heating to 105 F

    I can't honestly say. The couple times I filled it from empty after scrubbing it out I used the hose. In the winter time I do use a gallon jug to refill it but have never had it go completely empty. Tomorrow when I top it off, I'll dump it and see how many gallon jugs it takes to fill it.

    Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

    I let the three big girls out to free range for a bit, chased the littles out to the run so I could reconfigure their brooder a bit in peace with out getting mobbed for treats. Once that was done, spent a little time in the run with the littles just hanging out and watching them do chicken...

    Chocolate Orp gender?

    Not the best pics, hard to wrangle a chick yourself and take pics at the same time. She's the pinkest out of this batch of 10 chicks of all different breeds. Everyone else is staying nice and yellow. And I had it in my head that orps were slow to mature, she was definitely slower than the...

    Chocolate Orp gender?

    Chick is 6 weeks old today. Too soon to tell? The flush of pink in the comb and wattles is making me nervous.

    Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

    I’m still currently at 10 chicks and everyone seems to be going strong. The little snots are starting to sleep on top of their brooder, making more mess for me to clean up.

    Rooster insists on sleeping on top of the coop

    Yea, if they can access the top of that coop, they are gonna roost on top of it. Highest accessible place is prime roosting area. This was the night before they were moved to their permanent coop/shed.

    TSC heater only last for 1 year

    Our shed is on a separate meter so it was easy to see. The back half of our house is actually my retired general contractor father's business storage and set up on a separate electric meter. The whole area is not temp controlled and not habitable. Now that he's retired, its rarely used so the...
