My coops and enclosed area are actually very big for 5 chickens. I had chickens and ducks together for a while so I have two coops in a very large dog kennel and they free range. Thanks so very much for the food advice, the breakdown is helpful!

The chicks and the younger chickens are completely speperate from the one layer. The older ones will go out soon and the chicks have another 5 weeks to go.

I just went for it and kept a close eye on them, since the older ones seemed so calm natured I felt it was ok. It's been a week now and they have been fine! They all cuddle up together and don't fight for food. I think that's a big factor, just making sure they have enough food.

4 weeks RIRs and Golden Comets 4 days

Thanks so much!! I will look into oyster shells, and keep everyone on grower. I wanted to make sure my layer would be good, thanks again!

I can post pics soon but after I made this post I got a dog kennel that some would probably say is too big for my four chickens but I like that they have room. Look into dog kennels, those are easy to set up. I put chicken wire on top and also lined the cage with chicken wire, so they wouldn't...

My Golden comets at 1wk

I kind of thought that's what it was but I wanted to make sure, really appreciate it!!

Thank you!!! I'm naming him Prince

My first set of ducks and I just want to know if this is normal? The wings that is. About 5 weeks old Khaki Campbell. I'm thinking he's a drake too.

Will be 6 weeks this Sunday, already showing signs o' drake I would say, Yes? No? lol

I need to switch mine over to something else now. They haven't been eating the chick starter feed I get at the feed store which I believe is purina that they just seperate and bag themselves. I did add Brewers yeast for them and I just added some cracked corn still not really touching it whereas...

Omg they are so cute!! Thank you, they are sloooooowly coming around lol

Glad you asked I have two Khaki Campbell ducklings at 4 weeks and two road island reds at 3 weeks and they will be in the same coop with no older birds, I was wondering when a good time would be for me to let them all in the coop
