Hi, It's been a while since I've been on. It's been a very busy Christmas and New Year and then a house inspection and now getting kids ready for school. My chickens are 11 weeks old now, I think, and the four boys have started crowing. My room is down the front of the house so if the windows at...

My chicks survived the night outside and I didn't lose too much sleep either. I threw a handful of fine scoria on the grass in their coop hoping it will do the trick for now. They've even gone exploring up the ramp and into the roosting area, although I didn't see it the pine shavings are messed...

Is there a place I can find grit for chicks online? I can't seem to find anything except grit for grown chickens.

They're Pekin bantams and I agree, I can't imagine it being comfortable for even four full sized bantams. My friend has a few and she lets hers free range completely and they sleep in a dog kennel. I was hoping to free range but lock them up at night. I have nine at the moment but I really only...

Now that I have chickens I'm seeing just how little shade we have in our back yard. My fig tree and mulberry tree are just babies still and don't provide much shade. Some of the bath tubs are closer together so I'm going to run some boards between them as temporary shade. Their first night and...

I agree that it definitely won't be big enough (the box said for 6) but it might be a scaled up version of the one you bought as they aren't having any problem with the ramp. It was all I could afford at the moment and I'm hoping it will do until I figure out which ones are roos and maybe have...

Sorry about the sideways picture. My phone is being a pain.

I put my 4 1/2 week old Pekin bantams in their coop this afternoon. Is it okay that they just on grass for the time being and then I'll cover it with pine shavings? I kind of rushed their move because they really have outgrown where they were. Also should I open the top part up,where the roosts...

They definitely need more space.I can't believe how quickly they grow. I've been getting their food from Petstock and I don't whether I'm blind but I can't seem to find any chicken grit there and online it all seems to be adult grit. As the chicks are only 4 weeks old I should maybe be feeding...

Ha ha. Yes, but there's lots of broody silence that lets me know he's unimpressed.

Hi, I think I introduced myself already and have been lurking for a couple of weeks. My chicks are four weeks old tomorrow and are growing like weeds. I'm hanging out to get them their coop as 9 of them fill the little guinea pig hutch. I wasn't expecting as many as 9 of my 12 eggs to hatch...

Hi, I've just joined the chicken owner club with my own little flock of Pekin Bantam chicks, that I incubated and hatched yesterday afternoon and today. We're so excited in this household.
