I haven’t heard of that. Is it something worth doing?
They free range most of the time. I lock them in there only at night. Some nights if they’re not back in the coop and I can’t get them to go back inside I did let them stay out but they were normally fine. My brother suggested that I put...
Do you think he’ll be fine alone? I’ve kept the males separate from the females because of the fighting. The were attacking the hens but not each other which is weird.
I can post a picture of the coop and the chickens if that would give a better idea of it. I have been trying to get them in the sprinkler frequently but they didn’t really like it. I think I need to get a larger water container so they don’t run out as frequently. But the older hens I’ve had for...

It’s been in the 90s for the past few weeks. I haven’t checked the bodies yet but I will be soon. I only have one cockerel left and he free ranges most of the day. I’m not sure if I should let him in the hen coop for the night or not. I know I’ll likely need to get another one since he’s used to...
i Just went to check on my chickens and two of them are dead. I’m not really sure how or what happened. They were fine last night but I didn’t check on them this morning like I usually do. They had plenty water but the food had run out sometime between last night and this morning. We have some...
