    Pullets not using roost bars

    Pretty please use 2"x4"s flat, not on edge, as chickens prefer to sleep flat-footed. I read that 10 yrs ago and changed out one roosting bar for a flat 2"x4". No one wanted to roost anywhere else. Then I put a 6" wide board in. Everyone wanted that.

    Featherless chickens - can they make it in colder weather?

    I have baby flannel hen saddles that are great in winter.

    https://pipevet.com/tylan-50-100cc I have not been able to find Tylan 50 injectable for SO LONG. I used to be able to just buy it at Tractor Supply.

    I am sure that you did this, but check under his feathers for deep gashes. He could have a disguised open wound so deep that it is not bleeding. Shots of anti-biotics if you find a wound, along with wound care. Poor guy... If his eye was cut, that will make him behave that way, too. They...

    Thanks so much for your response, but I don't order from hatcheries and I really want to find adults that I can integrate right away with my boys. Still searching!

    4-6 bantam hens needed in Northeast PA

    Hi, there! I would like to obtain 4-6 bantam hens - occassional layers would be just fine. I have two bantam boys that each need their own little harem. I am in Scranton regularly and Binghamton regularly. They would have their own coop and run, with supervised free range on lots of land. Please...

    Dying bantam hen

    SO glad she is doing well. I had a RIR with impacted crop - gave her olive oil soaked bread (read about it somewhere on BYC!) and it worked. I isolated her, of course, to treat her. Maybe as soon as you notice an issue in the future? Again, so glad your girl is well.

    Question on moving Pullets outise to Coop

    I left mine inside the coop for six days and have never had a "roosting outside the coop" issue. Ever. : ) Be sure you protect the coop from underneath. I predator can just pick up the small Tractor Supply coops and scoot under. Raccoons work together to do this. I have a main coop and a mini...

    YES! I hang a small fan under the eave against a high venting opening outside the coop (north side) which blows right through and out the other venting opening on the south side. It really moves the air.
