    Omlet Eglu Cube w/Run - Number of Hens?

    We have some pretty HUGE raccoons in NW Indiana and so far nothing has gotten in the run or opened doors. And they've tried! I have an especially determined mama with 3 little babies (although those aren't that little anymore either) that are out inspecting everything EVERY NIGHT and so far so...

    Omlet Eglu Cube w/Run - Number of Hens?

    Ive had at least one raccoon try to get into my enclosure (eglu cube with 13ft run) and it didn't get in. The latches on the back and side are pretty secure. I don't think a raccoon could figure it out. Ive had my 6 girls in this setup for about a month now and I'm very pleased with it...

    Will chickens return home on their own?

    That's why I went with a moveable coop and run so that hopefully they will always have new pastures to graze lol or at least it will give a chance for the previous spot to grow back up

    Will chickens return home on their own?

    Thanks everyone! I really want to let them free range but at the same time am worried about other wildlife and hazards.... they seem just fine in their set up, and it's like a chicken tractor so I can and do move it to new grass easily enough every few days. Maybe I should just play it safe...

    Will chickens return home on their own?

    This is probably a silly question, but will chickens naturally return to their home/ coop? I have 6 8 week old hens that have been outside full time for about 2 weeks but have been kept in their enclosured run or coop the whole time. Id like to let them out to explore while im out there and can...

    Constipated chick?

    I ended up givibg my whole crew chick starter mixed with water and coconut oil. My girl still has poop issues but not as bad as it was and she usually is able to pass it on her own. I still clean her butt occasionally but it's getting better. She's acting fine and the most starter mixed with...
