    My chicken is Isolating and not eating or drinking, please help!

    That is good to hear that she is back to eating with the flock, maybe the meds helped her and what ever is ailing her. I hope she can recover fully and be back to being a healthy girl, give her some tasty food that can put some weight back on her. :)

    I have two new chicks...

    I get the area ready first then get the chicks over to the new area then mama might get freaked out but will go to the chicks. Once they are in the area you can gather the eggs in a container to move them. You want to mark the top so you can replace it without disturbing the chick inside, if...

    I have two new chicks...

    I just went through the same issue but mine had a bad egg brake in the nesting box and I had no choice but to move the mama, chicks and the eggs.

    Review by 'Chicksandme' in article 'le palais de poulet (the Chicken Palace)'

    I want to thank you for sharing the detailed article, the pictures are a great help if I decide to build one like this. I like your nesting boxes how you built them but I like everything you did. I wish I had access to my nesting box from outside and have a covered attached run. I can dream...
