    Chickens not roosting at night

    I hadn’t thought about a light I will have to try that and see if it helps. I has been in the mid 50s here at night that might be part of the problem as well. If you look at the pic of the coop you can see two triangle areas that are open (except for hardware cloth). Hubby and I never put the...

    Chickens not roosting at night

    New chicken tender, and have a question… My fluffy butt babies moved in to their coop at 7 weeks old. For the first couple nights they kept bunching up in the lay boxes for the night. I decide to block those off with a sheet of plywood for now as I didn’t want them to confuse those for where...

    I used to be a crazy cat lady and now I have converted successfully to chickens…

    We currently have 4 inside cats, 15 outside cats, 3 dogs and now 19 chicken. At one point in time when I first moved to my house I was breeding hedgehogs and had 15 of them and dubbed my internet id as the FunnyFarm not knowing how prophetic that would be. I’m a terrible sucker for animals and...

    Anyone from Fairfield California?

    Me! I am first time chicken tender and loving it! I know there are tons in the city they just may not know or care to find others online in the area.

    I used to be a crazy cat lady and now I have converted successfully to chickens…

    So, I thought I would give a little update on the success of my first incubation of a dozen eggs… Three of the eggs were not fertile. I accidentally dropped one while candleing, bantam eggs are so little and those suckers are slippery soft, I was so upset about that as I’m pretty sure it was a...

    Hen or Roo

    Yeah that’s what I have been thinking all along. Their combs and now waddles are way more prominent than all my others. I was just hoping it was due to them being Orpingtons as the rest are bantams, sexlinks and wyandottes. Not to mention their legs are thicker than the others as well.

    Coop Roost feedback

    Hadn’t thought about that, that’s a good idea. I was thinking a whole bar but a box or crate would work great. Thanks for the input.

    Coop Roost feedback

    I have 2 Wyandottes, 2 jubilee orpingtons, 3 mix bantams, 2 red sexlinks and 2 black sexlinks. I think the bantams will be fine as they fly better than the bigger hens but just want to make sure.

    Coop Roost feedback

    Just finishing up my coop, new to chickens and wondering if my bottom roost bars are too high and should I add another lower for them or is it fine the way it is?

    I used to be a crazy cat lady and now I have converted successfully to chickens…

    Hi my name is Deannie and I am Chickaholic. I started off simple with just the thought of wanting to get 3 chicks. The breeder I got them from told me she was going to give me 5 in case some of my bantams didn’t make it or in case I ended up with a couple Roos I would re-home elsewhere. Come the...
