    Sorry, I never saw your question! Last summer my husband and I put aviary netting over the entire chicken yard. A bit of a painful process! Prior to that, I would;d let them out of their run in the m morning and close it after they went to bed each night.

    So, today we started breaking the broads. I have a very large dog crate, and they are all hanging out there for the foreseeable future (with food & water). Wish me luck!

    Multiple broody breaking - help, please!

    I have four adult hens right now, and *three* are broody. One has been broody for over 10 weeks.

    Ended Official BYC Coop Page Contest #9

    Question for the mods - I created my article in the "coops" section, didn't specify "large coops" - can that be done when the article is put into the index after the contest is over? Or is that something I should try to change now?

    9 week old BLRW - are these roos?

    Hello! I have two Blue Laced Red Wyandotte that I am thinking are male. They have more red on them, act more male-ish, and are a little bigger than their siblings. What do you think? "a" has more red and "b" has more black.

    Chicks had Coccidiosis - question re: probiotics

    First time chicken mom here. I have BLRW chicks of varying ages. My babies were pooping blood so I treated them for Coccidiosis with one week of Corid.
