    Chicks and Chickens Separated

    We sadly are only down to one laying hen so we decided to try again with more baby chicks. Would you suggest to still keep them (the laying hen and chicks) separate once it’s time for the chicks to come out?

The run is about 10ft/3m by 11ft/3.3m, while the coop itself is TECHNICALLY about 8ft by 4ft. However, the...

    I‘m sorry if this is a dumb question, but I’m a newbie at this and I’m confused. How do I make the coop draft free but still have ventilation for the winter (I’m located in PA)? Won‘t the ventilation openings be a place where drafts come in? And how can you even check for drafts to begin with if...

They don't seem to want to stand on it, and are kind of squishing together in the corner. Any tips to get them to use the roost? I don't want any suffocated chickens -...
