    Where do I go from here? UPDATE!

    First...here's my setup: I have 4 chicks, 2 Barred Rocks and 2 games, living in the bottom section. They are approximately 1 month old. (I had to put their Momma out because she "turned" on them, pecking them unmercifully!) They are doing great! Now they think I'm their Momma! In the top...

    HELP needed...PLEASE!!

    Anyone know what breed this is?

Neither of us know what breed she is. She is very small and lays very small eggs. (And besides her coop, she likes...

    Letting new hens out with rooster?

    Good morning! I have 2 hens and 1 rooster. My neighbor gave me 3 hens last week. They have been kept in a separate coop. He said they were 15 weeks old and I shouldn't let them out to roam with my rooster until they are at least 20 weeks old. However, they are as big as one of my hens...and...
