My husband put shingles on ours. We painted it white so it don't get as hot in the summer. Our chickens would slide all the way down it. Now I kind of think we took away there fun.
I butchered my roosters and now my hen is attacking my chicks. She hatched them and raised them. Now she will not let them out of the coop. She runs and starts pecking them and chasing them down. This has been going on for three days. I am not sure what to do.
I have seven chicks that are three weeks old. I have noticed four of them for over a week will run up to each other a bump chest. This is my first time with chicks. I am not duress if they are roosters or not.
