    baby chicks in with existing older chickens

    Yes, so we have had them in the coop for 2 weeks in a crate. They are getting big. Maybe we just have to separate them while outside for a bit. I think it's just being scared for the chicks. We have 10 hens, 1 rooster all 8 months old, and 4 chicks that are around 2 months old.

    baby chicks in with existing older chickens

    We have 4 chicks we need to add into our existing chickens. We just got them later in the season so only a couple months younger than the rest. Any advice is welcome as we have made 2 attempts so far and the older chickens are being pretty aggressive.

    Rooster?

    Ok thanks, the Rhode island, Ben, has been very aggressive towards us and pecked at us several times.

    Rooster?

    Thank you. So we have 12 chickens total. Now we realize we have 2 roosters and 10 hens, is it OK to have more than one rooster or should we only have one. This is our first year with chickens

    Rooster?

    Is it normal for him not to crow? That's mostly why we had no idea he was male.

    Rooster?

    My brown Rhode island red i know for sure is a rooster but the large white one is now in question. Our other white one is next to it for reference but I also saw it on the back of another hen.

    How to store egg shells to give your chickens

    Do you rinse them off at all before letting them air dry? I just want to make sure they don't get moldy.

    How to store egg shells to give your chickens

    I want to start giving my chickens egg shells but not sure how to store them until I have enough to bake and crush up. I don't want them to get moldy.

    Rooster agression

    Thanks, I'll let my husband know and we might just have to separate him from the hens. We have 2 kids that love the chickens and if he's attacking me, I don't want them getting hurt.

    Rooster agression

    I have one rooster and he starts to attack me and peck me every time I go in to feed or water or just to count to make sure I have everyone. He's a rhode island red and the only rooster out of 11 hens.
