Anyone know why this is happening. It’s not a sudden occurrence. It’s been happening over time maybe like a few months. We live in south Texas so it’s not very cold here even during the winter. He will be one years old in a couple months.
Wide side flat is better for them??
Thank you so much for this! I’m not a builder by any means but I can do this, the sketch does make sense! They would like it better with the wife side flat?? I read somewhere they like it smaller then there feet so they can grip it?
It is a storage building, that I made into there coop. I thought you can make a coop out of anything?? And it’s 5ftx24ft. It should be enough space for the amount of chickens I have, it’s just narrow. So I don’t think I can find wood long enough to go across long ways. And it has 4 large windows...
Thank you for your reply! I have 6 silkies and 10 buff Orpington and 10 black austrolorps. I’ve put them on the roosts like 5 times, but it takes so long to get 26 chickens up there lol
Thank you so much for your reply, they do have 4 big windows up top I just didn’t get them in the pic. My coop does check all the boxes for what you mentioned, I’m definitely going to figure out a different ladder for them, hopefully that helps. I never would have thought that would be too...
We introduced them to there forever coop about 2 weeks ago. They have about 30ft of roosting space for 20 hens and 6 roosters, we think, maybe less roosters. But at least 4 roosters. Anyways, the roosts are about 4ft off the ground, all the same level, and they have a ladder. I’ll post a pic...
Hello! I have 26 chickens. 10 buff Orpington (2 male). 10 black Australorp (1 male) and 6 bantam silkie (2 male). They are 11 weeks old. I’ve been feeding them fermented food since I got them at days old. At 8 weeks started letting them free range a few hours on 11 acres, now they are outside...
Here’s Linda!
She is 10 weeks old and I named her after this mean old lady I used to work with because she’s my only pullet that won’t let me pick her up and love her lol she runs like the wind! She’s still a favorite though lol
Hello! So I have 26 chickens, all 10 weeks, one I know for sure is a rooster, looks like it, acts like it. But I have 2 others in question. What do y’all think? They have red combs and wattles when the other pullets do not. Third pic for reference, that’s how all my other girls look.
