    One chick all alone now

    Oh. Quite conflicting opinions. I dont have much choice at the moment as i would hate to pass it to someone and it affects their flock. I just feel bad as it is alone. I may ask the new home if they can segregate it away from their flock but in sight of the flock which is what will have to be...

    One chick all alone now

    We had two chicks 14 weeks old now. One died, dont know why. Will the surviving chick be ok for two weeks until we can make sure its not sick before being rehomed. Will it be incredibly lonely.

    Getting pullets to sleep on the roosting bar?

    Make sure the perches are higher than the nest boxes. They like to be on the highest perch. Im sure they will get the hang of it. Good Luck

    I need help getting my chickens to find their nesting boxes!

    We use shredded paper for nesting and on the floor and they don't mind it. Its cheap, as we get if off a local office. We can change it twice a week. at no cost

    When do chickens lay?

    At last an answer that is correct. Thank you. They usually take 25 hours to lay, so it moves on 1 hour each day, then a day off. But all chickens are different.
