Roost within a doghouse??? Help!!!
That is a great idea -- thank you! Sunny and the biggest hen (Velma, of course...!) spar through the fence, but when Velma does that one of the smaller chickens pecks on Velma's head. She (Red) might be a good candidate to go in with Sunny. Thanks! I LOVE this website!- Cindyt63

Roost within a doghouse??? Help!!!
Thank you! I went ahead and put the roosting bar in the doghouse, and Sunny does like it. At night, though, she's not going in her doghouse/coop without assistance. She wants to fly up on TOP of her coop and roost there (her coop is inside a chainlink enclosure with a roof -- chain link plus...- Cindyt63

I have four happy laying hens. I also have a 4-month old pullet. She's too big for a kennel now, but the older ladies won't accept her yet. We got a 6x6 foot chain link pen for the young one (Sunny) and put it right up against the other run, so they can safely acclimate and get accquainted...- Cindyt63

Hello from Poulsbo, Washington -- New Chicken Mom here...
Almost nine weeks ago we bought four 18-month old RIR hens and a one-week old chick, who was the last surviver in her hatch/brood. She has been quite pampered and now lives outside! Thank goodness for this website, as I knew nothing about keeping chickens!- Cindyt63

Four lovely ladies and a single lonesome chick! First weekend as a Chicken Mom. I'm allergic to feathers...

Can one chicken lay 2 eggs in one day, as it's first eggs ever?
My four RIRs just laid 5 eggs yesterday! We are so happy! I didn't think it was possible, but should have checked here too! Apparently they are really liking their supplemental light in the coop, which we switch over to a heat lamp at night! :-) Very pampered girls!- Cindyt63
