I'm so relieved to hear that chickens much older than mine still sleep in a bunch on the floor. My girls are now about 8 weeks old and I finally installed the roosts this past Friday and immediately started teaching them to use it, and nada. Nobody has taken much interest yet. It's only been a...

Hello everyone -but especially Canadians - where can I find Canadian-made automatic chicken doors? Or do they even exist? Am I chasing a unicorn? I have been looking forever for a door and have all but pushed the order button on the Ador1, but I have to exhaust all my avenues. Looking for a...

Thanks! I have basically almost decided on going with the Ador. Just have to try one more thing

I've got 2 BPR and I'm really looking forward to watching them fully feather out. They're my most skittish birds though. Hoping to change that...

Thank you for helping!!

Great! I did that and so far it's like they've been together all along! I moved around the existing branches and logs, added some new obstacles, and moved the food and water dishes a bit to make the place feel new again, too. They have barely even noticed each other while exploring all the new...

(Edited my initial post for clarity )

Oh wow sorry! Didn't realize how unclear I was being haha. Separate while in my house. Just moved all out to coop but still separated. (5 new birds in the cage, others free) Should I just open the cage to the 5 new ones?

Hi! Another integration question for everyone. I had my 13 girls in my house brooder these past five weeks. A friend of mine got chicks from the same hatchery that are the same age as mine and after a week realized she had too many and gave five to me. I decided to keep them separate (don't...

I know this is an old comment but I had to reply because your description makes me think of my birds! My CRs are my biggest, most adventurous, and nearly friendliest birds at 5weeks, and my BPR are also my flightiest, most skittish birds too. Interesting

Oh my goodness so pretty!

Haha ok! Thank you! Today I don't intend to turn the light on much at all, and definitely not in the evening. Try to make this change as smooth as possible.

I'm so disappointed... I ordered 12 birds, two of six different breeds, including New Hampshire. Seems though that I've likely been given something else, probably black sex link, because I didn't have chicks the colour I see here except for my red sex links. Oh man. Maybe I really have no idea...

Hello everyone, so I finally moved my beautiful little flock to the big coop outside! I can reclaim my living room! Anyway I spent time with them just sitting, watching them explore and settle in for a while, then let them be. At dusk I went to turn off the light and make sure they settled in...

Ok! More great tips! Thanks!!

Just picked up a few pieces of pvc to try my hand at a bucket feeder. Accidentally bought 2"... Sigh. Have to go back to the store.

My black chicks are starting to show lots of distinguishing markings so I'm thinking I might post some more pics soon to see what people think! No matter how much googling I do I can't seem to find a good match for images of chicks!

"Quack Shack" - love it!

So after reading this ENTIRE thread, and others, the conclusion I have drawn is... that every company sucks and rocks. I've noticed that the posts are a little old... How do you feel about your original chicken doors a couple years later? Or have you upgraded and how does it compare? I have...

That's awesome TabbyKat! I can't wait for hubby to finish my coop so I can get mine outside too! For now, mine seem to have "re-learned" the heating pad, and most of them are all snuggled up inside. 3 or 4 are half in/half out, and one is sleeping all by herself about an inch away from the...
