How often are you giving the nutri drench? I fixed 1 quart water to 1/2 tsp nutridrench. I have a 3 day old baby chick the runt and last of the crew to hatched. II think she’s blind though i have seen her eyes open, well they were open when she hatched. I have isolated her because she is...

Good day all… I have 8 baby chicks which are 4 weeks old. This is my first time having chicks hatch in my care. They are mixed leghorn and Ernie the dad is a Polish Black Crested rooster. One is a cross beck so I won’t be bartering or giving him or her away. I have 2 Roos already and not...

I moved them all to the coop and closed it off to the other hens. I first put a couple in the crate with her — she did fine. Added 2 more, no problem — they are al;l inside the coop. I’ll be watching. I have 6 nesting boxes in there with fresh pine straw

Yes San Bernardino — typo…Haven’t moved yet, still praying for direction. May very well stay where I am but will consider your suggestion.

Good day… I have a broody Buff. She was sitting on 6 eggs. Thus far 2 have survive they are about 3 or 4 days old. I found 2 dead ones in the crate and I see one egg and dunno where the other egg is. It’s a medium size crate but yesterday she was doing a lot of leg stretching. I have a HUGE...

What are the dimensions? I’m thinking I don’t want the entire coop and run over 5’ but I do want the coop to be at least waist high.

Love the simplicity of this coop! Wood is so expensive right now. Did you use furring wood/stripes? I built my first two-part coop & run out of PVC and hardwire. I put the run on wheels. The quail hutch I used furring wood around a mental shelf. I rent so I want to make this coop maybe...

Well, I just found this thread and Tractor Supply messed up lol I too have a roo instead of a hen out of three. He has already starting to try and crow lol…i brought 5 chicks, 3 sapphire gems and 2 welsummers. They are 10 weeks old

Thank you for responding

I’m new at this! My broody Buff was sitting on 28 eggs. I’m not trying to have chicken multiplication here. I got 27 now. So I pulled them and candled them. I see life in them, a few are heavy and must be developed. Can I incubate a few? I looked at them to see if they were henS but the...

I had to take my roo out of the coop the girls are plucking his butt feather. How do you treat this?

I’m so excited! I’m new at this chicken stuff but my leghorns laid 2 eggs. I got 6 leghorns and 4 look like they are ready to lay. So I found 2 eggs today. Yippie! I’ve worked very hard prepping for them, and they are fed very well. Until i move they are in their chicken mansion so I was...

Hmm, food for thought...I may create a brace outta PVC on the inside of my run then either cover it with wood and screw it dow or get some rope and wrap the PVC. See the photos of the inside bars. I’ll keep you posted
