    Electric fencing, do you really need it vs non electric fencing

    You'll want fencing - we used non electric horse fence because it is much stronger than regular fencing. As well, we have a wooded area that the chickens love - they perch on the lower branches of trees and take afternoon naps out there. However, don't think that the canopy will protect...

    What does this mean??

    Maybe she's trying to show submission to the males or maybe just has a little something stuck in her throat.

    HELP! My chicken won't stop attacking the new chickens!

    We made our nesting boxes out of plywood, but you can use crates or maybe recycle some pallets. Pine shavings are great for coating the floor, mostly because it is really easy to clean away. Hay can also be a treat in the winter so that your chickens can be entertained.

    Hens that sit a lot may be ready to lay eggs. The sitting is called the "egg squat". Roos just do what they want, whenever they want. :) In fact, my roo pretty much hates having me near him and will run like the wind to escape. Other people's roos might stay still, but mine is like a...
