    Moved to the coop, but they dont seem to want to go out

    I moved my 4 about 12 week old chicks out into the tractor coop with my 2 full grown chicks last Sunday (7/10) At first I put a chicken wire divider to keep the little's separate from the bigs (and kept the little's inside while the bigs could go out and free range around the yard every day)...

    Gone broody or something else?

    Found my silver laced Wyandotte up under my fig tree this afternoon laying down. I picked her up with no fussing or resistance, which is really rare for her as she is the hardest one to catch of my whole flock(7 birds total now). I took her over by where I had just thrown some scratch, and she...

    Chick laying on her side

    My 4 week old RIR girl has a funny habit. I keep catching her laying almost all the way on her side, legs sprawled out, looks like my dog laying on the couch. The other chicks all lay like what I would think is "normal" with their feet under them, but not Reba. I had seen her lay almost...
