I have only had my 6 girls for 10 days, all are adult of different types. all the other chickens will not let the americana eat or have treats until they are done. She is very wary when approching the other birds and gets pecked and chased when she gets too close. what do you all think?
I picked up my girls yesterday. 2 black sex links, 2 barred rocks. I was told the one in the back lays blue eggs. One of the black ones has feathers on its legs but I don't know what it is either. We are working around them to finish the coop.
I will be getting 4 1 year old barred rock hens tomorrow, They will be laying fertile eggs. I would like one batch of chicks from them. should I keep one hen alone with her own nest box? These are my first chickens I have had, what is your advise?
I talked my hubby in to expanding our planned coop it will be 5' wide with a roof sloping from 7 down to 4 ft. The roof will drop 1 foot ever 3 foot of coop.That should give me enough room for 8 birds comfortably. I am excited to get it finished so I can bring some chickens home.
