    Bad Rooster? Not sure.

    He was already there when I introduced the new hens. The hens were three and a half months at the time

    Bad Rooster? Not sure.

    the nest boxes stick out of the coop so they don't take up space. I only added the other nest boxes to try and create the illusion that the coop is bigger before I get rid of any birds.

    Bad Rooster? Not sure.

    I brought him home the same day we had the coop built. Since then we got rid of the two old hens that were here and introduced 7 young hens that started laying about a month ago

    Bad Rooster? Not sure.

    Most of the hens are laying in the boxes. a couple of weeks ago I found 9 eggs in the barn most likely the roosters fault. The next day I caught the culprit in the act and moved her to the coop. She hasn't laid any eggs in the barn since but I don't think she has laid any at all since. I agree...

    Bad Rooster? Not sure.

    I got my rooster earlier this year and Id like to ask get some advice before I think about getting rid of him. He seems to be trying to get his hens to lay in other places other than the coop like the barn, the backseat of my side by side etc. I already found some eggs in the barn. How do I get...

    Help ........Hen with blood on vent hole

    Someone told me about the warm bath. My only concern the outside freezing temps make me worried about bringing her in and out of the house. I have a 3X4 chicken coup with 7X4 run. I have three chickens total. I was able to find a large enough that might fit inside the coop to separate her from...

    Help ........Hen with blood on vent hole

    Just noticed my White Ameraucana had blood on her tail feathers. When I looked at her vent hole it looked raw and inflamed. The other girls were also pecking at it. Any ideas as to the cause?

    New from Myakka City Florida

    Hi I am looking at a house in Myakka specifically Magnolia Hill and I was curiuos if there is a limit on how many hens you can have. And can you have roosters? Thanks in advance

    This is a hen right?! 😂

    I just got rid of an americana rooster. It looks like you might have a rooster. Compare with the hen, I see fancy pointy feathers on its chest. See if the hen has the same.

    Mixing some of my own feed.

    I was trying to make a feed that can replace the scratch and peck mixed grain feed that I used to throw on the ground for them. That feed is $60 for 40lbs. I can mix some feed for a fraction of that. I always have layer pellets in their feeders to make sure they get what they need. Just looking...

    Mixing some of my own feed.

    Hi All I am getting ready to start mixing my own feed. I have whole oats, whole wheat, and whole corn. I've seen people that do equal amounts of all three. I also hear from some chicken owners that too much corn is no good. Does anyone know the ratio of corn that I should be using? Thanks in...
