    Combining flocks

    Thank you! Good advice. I will keep them separated

    Combining flocks

    I can separate them with a fence during the day but can they roost together at night? Or will I need to put them back in the brooder pen, in the garage. I don’t have a separate coop for them. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question

    Combining flocks

    I have two separate chicken yards. A coop in each yard. The smaller yard only has 6 hens, a rooster, and a 3 week old chick (which is out with mother). The new pullets will go to that coop/yard. Thank you for your help. I appreciate it!

    Combining flocks

    When can I put my 7 and 8 week old pullets out with my adult hens and roosters? I have two coops for my 25 adult chickens out in the yard now. They free range within large area fencing. I need to get them out of my garage soon. Is it safe to combine them yet?

    Mother hen and chick

    I just wanted you to know...You were absolutely correct about the ramp. Mother and chick were out in the yard all day. When she went up this evening to nest, the chick was stranded. I had to help it up. I’m thankful for your advise, and so glad I knew to watch for this. Thanks again!

    Mother hen and chick

    Thank you. I do have a ramp that leads to the yard. I can however put feed and water up inside the housing area where the nesting boxes are located. There are no other chicks to hatch. My main concern was if it will be safe around the other hens and rooster. Mother seems to be very protective...

    Mother hen and chick

    My Silkie hen’s chick hatched Saturday. She and chick are still in nesting box. Do I need to move them to another, area away from the flock? I have several other hens and a rooster. Thank you for your help.

    I have 26 chickens. 16 are pullets, three are 10 weeks old, and five are over two years old. I’m trying to do sexing on the the younger ones. They are silkie and buff laced polish standard mix.
