    Urgent help please

    The first chick is doing well, have been out to see the others and there is another one the same colour with similar injuries. Both are now up in a box in my room with the heat lamp. I'm tempted to remove the last two as well soon as I'm really not comfortable leaving them with her! Thank you...

    Thanks. I only haven't put food in there as I read you shouldn't feed them if they are in shock?

    A few questions..

    Thanks, I've decided to have a nesting box made that can go downstairs in the run so I don't need to worry about the ladder. It should be ready for the weekend so I'll leave them locked in the coop until then just to be safe. I'll add new bedding too.

    A few questions..

    How long after the chicks hatch can I move mum and baby's to the bottom of the coop? Do I put the old bedding in the new box or will they be happy with a new clean bed? I'll be removing the ladder and shutting the main nesting area and giving them a cat box as a nest on ground level is this...

    Chickens and cats

    Do you have space for a pen around your coop? I have two cats and that's what we have. More for my peace of mind, the chickens come out in the rest of the garden when I'm home but stay in the pen if I'm out. My cats have never taken much notice of my chickens but better safe then sorry for me...

    Coop ladders

    Thanks Jess :) I've just mentioned this to my husband and we have decided to put in a temporary false floor for a weeks so they can come out at one level but I don't have to move them to quickly. So basically the whole enclosure is off ground level with no where for them to fall

    Coop ladders

    Thanks, I don't really want to move her if I can help it. I was thinking of wire meshing the doors until they are hatched and then moving them? When will they be able to use the ladder?
