I have a small flock of pullets that are all 5 weeks old. Would it be okay to add a Bielefelder cockerel that is one month older (10 weeks old) to the flock?
I was given a six month old pair of Sarama hens. I’ve had them in quarantine for the last week and wondered if/when you think it’s possible to add them to my standard flock of 10 hens?
When we fenced in our 50’x 50’ chicken run, the ground was luscious with lots of beautiful grass. It’s now the middle of August and there’s not one green blade to be seen. What can we give our chickens to peck at or what can we do that will encourage foraging on dirt?
