Good setup I'd say, should be bigger IMO. If you intend on keeping the chicks in there until 6weeks old, it won't be enough room those last couple weeks. I had the exact same items you do with similar size brooder and figured out quick they needed more space. Change out your shavings every 2...

I raised 10 chicks from day old to ~16 weeks old all together, all female of a couple different breeds. I introduced an adult (1yr old) rooster into the flock and I would like to see if anyone else has done something similar and what was the outcome. I have had him in the flock for 2 weeks now...

Food.. everything is food to my dog. I picked her up off the side of the road in the sticks of farmland north Louisiana about 10yrs ago and she was not starving, but def not well fed, full of fleas/ticks, and dirty. She had to hunt for her food and prolly fought for it too. Anything that is not...

My dog likes to play with any chicken with her mouth and teeth.. aggressively. 🍗

Hello fellow Louisiana-ian! I just leave the door open during daylight hours so they can free roam in the fenced area of the backyard. I just have to prioritize who gets to use the backyard, the dogs or the chickens. The male chick I had was a NHR and I would probably get another, or a Speckled...

Looking for large size, no bantam. If I had a preference, it would be a new Hampshire or Sussex

Is 5'x8' with raised roosting area 5'x5' inside not enough for a dozen cluckers??

Why do you say that? They are in the tractor 75% of the time but there is plenty of room for the whole flock inside the tractor.

Hello!! I'm in Greenwell Springs Louisiana! Anyone nearby that has a rooster or Cockrell they are looking to re-home? I had a baby roo that didn't make it, but all the girls did!

Thank you so much!!

Hello All and I am hopeful to learn/discuss trials and tribulations with caring for backyard chickens! I reside in south Louisiana and have purchased a chicken coop/tractor from a local company that I decided to support. It is a very nice chicken tractor.. very expensive.. but should last a...
