    Rooster Trouble?

    Thanks, I knew the ratio was off, but hoping for better weather to address it. He is an Easter Egger, we got him and 4 other ladies (all beautiful too!) at the end of the season and they have integrated well ... well until today.

    Mother & Chicks Leaving at Night

    Thanks for replying with the idea! Unfortunately, she hatched them in the coop. There may, however, be a different space she likes better now as the coop also has a few other adult hens (and a rooster) in it.

    Panting & Fluffed Up Hen

    Panting & Fluffed Up Hen

    We have kept the door open and it has cooled off greatly - how long does it usually for a hen to cool herself? It is going to cool down here to 13 degrees. Hopefully that will help? The coop does have ventilation. But as we just built the coop so we will definitely add more to it/make...
