We have a flock of 9, and up until just recently have been allowed to free range in the neighborhood and have not been seemingly bothering anybody. The neighbors had started feeding our girls cat food, unfortunately now they gravitate over there and go in their garage and eat the cat food if the...

We have 4 adult Buff Orpington hens, about 3.5 years old. We just bought 6 new chicks (sexed pullets) to add to our flock. They are 6 different breeds, but I'm fearing we have at least one roo in the mix, possibly more 😩. We got lucky last time with all hens. We live in the country and can keep...

Hello! We are relatively new to chickens, we got our first 6 last March and they started laying in August. They have their own coop but started laying their eggs in little "nests" they would make in the corners of the goat barn. We never got around to installing the nesting boxes, and their...
