Nope, I've never seen the piano playing chicken! I'll search it on youtube. I think I will give some tricks a try then!

Has anyone had any success in teaching their chickens tricks? I was wondering whether it was possible, as I would like to teach my chickens some... if its at all possible. Thanks!

Awwwww... I'm so sorry about it... good thing your jedi mind powers kicked in and you moved out of the way though... but it such a shame! Looks like you were making excellent progress.. You even had the cute little chicken ramp. I am glad your chickens weren't inside though.

I'm guessing the chickens would be happier with more like 3-4 feet. I always see my chickens jumping around!

Okay, thanks for your input. I will probably insulate it then.

I'm about half way done building my coop and I'm not sure wether I need to insulate it or not. Need some help! The summers here are usually anywhere between 70ºF to 95ºF and the winters can get down to about 10ºF. I will have three Rhode Island Red/cross chickens in a 3 foot by 5 foot...

Great! I was very excited about the roof... glad I will be able to use it.

Quote: Yes, there will be plywood.

I went to Home Depot today and bought the roof for my coop. The roof will be wooden shingles, like this - http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&source=imghp&q=wooden+shingles&gbv=2&aq=f&aqi=g1&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= Only problem - They're CEDAR!!!! I've heard that cedar is bad for the chickens...

Yeah! They have healed quite nicely.

Hey Everyone! I came here a few days ago and asked about how to cure my chicks feet after he hatched with a foot deformity. The chicks feet now look 95% normal. Thanks for your help! If you would like to see what his feet look like now, he is this video (linked below) He is the one that...

I would give them some more head room in the coop, so they can get up high to roost. Another thought would be - is it enough head room for YOU... I see that it is ten feet long. I wouldn't want to crawl around in a two feet space to clean after chickens.

Sometimes it just takes some chicks longer to grow in feathers. The other chicks won't care, don't paint him!!!!

Predators can easily tear out staples. There easy to install and easy to undo by anything! To keep them attached properly, you can use screws and fender washers.

Do you have a picture? I want to see!

I have two chicks that look just like yours. One have the dark brown feathers above his wings and the other is growing lighter feathers around her body. I got them from a farm that has Rhode Island Reds and White Leghorns. However, I was told the ones they give out for hatching were a cross...

I have a chick with the same problem. I asked about it here. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=333278 Then someone also linked to another helpful thread in the first reply and theres a good picture in the second one. Good luck.

So he is not eating because he doesn't have to? The other chicks eat and drink a bit.

One out of the seven chicks who I had hatched with deformed feet and will not eat anything. The foot problem is already being addressed from help here. She is wearing adorable little shoes. However, she still won't eat anything. She has been hatched for about 28 hours now, so there is...
