    Sleeping on top of coops

    The past weeks my 4 chickens tend to sleep on top of their coops. I have 2 coops able to fit 2 grown chickens. Would I have to keep the chickens locked in for a few days to help train them again or is there a better solution to this issue?

    How Do I Combine a Group of Younger Birds and Older Birds Together?

    Young Buff Orpington (Little Over 9-11 weeks)

    The Sapphire Splash in the background is likely to be the same age as the buff orp since I bought them together. (If that helps to identify the gender in any way.)

    Can Chickens Catch Covid 19 From Humans?

    I have just been tested positive for COVID-19 and my main concern is if there’s a possibility of me transmitting the virus onto my backyard chickens. Is it possible for them to get sick or am I able to feed and water them without fear of getting them sick?

    Hen or Roo? (Buff Orpington)
