I know this has been discussed every which way…but wanted input on my particular situation. I currently have 9 hens. They have a yard that is roughly 65’x55’. They are currently in a very large coop…but it’s really beginning to fall apart and will be getting demolished soon. Before this brood...

Currently, I have an established flock. I also have new pullets and a little cockerel who have slowly been getting to know the big birds. Its been a long while since I’ve seen a rooster grow from a chick, and was just beginning to try and remember when a rooster starts to act like a rooster...

I’m sure I know the answer to this, but wanted some feedback. I have moved the location of my chickens feed. Since doing so, I’ve noticed a mouse hop out of the bag pretty much every time I walk into garage. I buy 50lb bags, which usually fills up the girls feeder about three times. Since I...

I have a general question in here that would fall under managing your flock, but my question here I question falls into a sub category to that, which would be getting everyone to know each other within their forever home, so that’s how I ended up in coop and run design. Hope that makes sense...

So it has been a very long time since I have introduced a new crew with an established flock. I have currently a flock that is a pretty good bunch of birds, with a well established pecking order and a rooster who does his job very well and is good to the his ladies. I have currently in my...

I have been finding deals on turkey here lately. I have alway wanted turkey but have been curious about one thing. I don't really have the means nor room for another coop. So my question is, can turkey and my chickens live together? I feel I would have the coop space. I have six hens and a rooster.

So, I haven't gotten an egg in close to two weeks, is this just normal winter time behavior or have I done something wrong?

Right now I have ten hens and one rooster, I'm about downsize to six hens and the roo. I've heard from different sources different numbers of hens to a rooster, which leaves me a little stumped. I wanna make sure this will be a healthy ratio for my girls. So I was wondering people's thoughts...

I got this rooster a couple of months ago to take over the roost after I lost my last roo. The add was posted Ameracauna roosters $5. So I picked out thisone that favors a Blue Wheaten, just assuming it to an Easter Egger. The rooster ended up being free, the people just had to many and didn't...

I am curious about a certain egg color I get. I have some easter eggers that I can always account the green and blue eggs, I can always identify the chocolate eggs from my marans, I can always pick out my RIR because she seems to lay them right as I collect everyday. But those are the only ones...

I have a small flock of ten, the latest two were added maybe four or five months ago. They have never once slept in the coop, they roost on the outside perches. I've never been worried about this as my run is completely enclosed to the coop itself. When they free range I've always been able to...

I've just recently gotten some new chicks. Right now I have the brooder set up inside. I really want to have them out in the coop. I have a couple questions and would love any advice and ideas for a coop brooder. If this is something that will work I would make this setup a nice, fixed addition...
