Since I am like, construction incapable, my father is helping me build the coop. Last night he did the frame. It looks really nice. I thought I would have a normal coop. Not according to him. This whole area in the pics is going to be the whole coop. For 7 chickens, who are not going to free...

I hate BSL. I absolutly adore Pitbulls, which are the main target of BSL. Oh, if anyone doesn't know what that is it is Breed Specific Regislation, I didn't know what it was for the first 5 months I knew about it Anyway, I have been around Pitbulls all of my life, I have rescued pitbulls off...

Well, my chicks are over 3 weeks old now, they have complete run of my yard. They can get to the porch, back, front, and everywere pretty much. I am not sure if this is normal flock behaviour, especially for such youngings. I will just start. I spend about 2 hours a day with my flock/herd...

I know that when chickens get older they stop laying. I don't care about the eggs or anything, I am a long way from it. my chicks are only 2 weeks right now. I am fine with havine non egg producing chickens for pets. I read that if they stop laying the others might eat it??? What the heck. Why...

I noticed this a couple of days ago but I never really saw it before. All of my chicks like to jump up to the top of our porch chair and relax in the shade and stuff. My Laker can't jump that high. She is 2 weeks old, like the rest. She is mainly alone, she never goes and forages with the rest...

I think my chicks are establishing a pecking order but I'm not sure so I need your guys opnion. I have 10 chicks who run around my um, yard? I took my porch and half of my yard off with temporary fence for my 2 week old chicks. Before you say something like "they need 80 degree's" or something...

I am thinking about getting a polish chicken for show in a few months once my coop is done and I am all settled with my chickens. I have a couple of questions about the breed though. -Could they live in my coop with my 10 other chickens (the coop is going to be huge) or do they need there...

My Sex Links (who I originally thought were black leghorns) are WAY more skittish then my little RIR chicks. They are all about 5 days old. The little ones RUN all the time when I come around, the RIR chicks run UP TO ME! Does there breed have anything to do with there temperment?

Well, I found a little grub worm under my chicken cage (home to 5-6 day old chicks). I picked it up and put it in the food dish. My chicks are very curious so they walked over. One grabbed it and it became a mad goose chase. They didn't eat it, they just ran around with it, chasing eachother and...

Well, I breed and raise finches and I just got 10 chickens. My finches live in a cage inside BUT what if I incorporated a coop/aviary? Of course the birds would be protected by many branches and toys for them, and even a top fence guard thing so they could live in the top half and the chickens...

I have my chickens in a cage outside. They have a heater and stuff like that. I just don't have the room in my home for a big ol' chick cage. At night it does get kind of cold so they come inside in a small cage. This morning was my first night with my Brand new 2 day old chicks. There are ten...

I have found a good place for my coop, shady, big nice. But there is only dirt there. Would that be okay for the chickens or would grass be better? I can plant grass for them no problem but which is better for them? Or does it matter?

Someone informed me of splay a couple days ago when I got my White Leghorn chicks. They are 5 days old. Today they were running around in my yard and I noticed one of them, Imorta, has feet/legs spread out much more then my other 4 of them. I think she is devoloping splay. Is this treatable, if...

Okay now I know there's a pecking order. Will one hen take the role of a rooster in protecting the flock and leading them to safty and stuff? Or do they just get the 1st pick of stuff when there top ranked?
