    One chicken gone, will the other be ok?

    Thank you both for the quick replies. I will look into getting a few more chickens of the same age/size. My only concern is what if they don't get along?

    One chicken gone, will the other be ok?

    So I got my two gold and silver laced wyandottes about a year ago as baby's. They've been together since day one and have always got along great. The other day the silver laced died so now i only have the gold laced. I'm worried about the gold laced being alone/sad. I don't know if i should get...

    Quick question about food and water for baby chicks!

    Just went and dipped their beaks into the water a little bit and now they are both eating and drinking! I guess they just needed a little encouragement. Thanks everyone for the quick replies!

    Quick question about food and water for baby chicks!

    Just got my very first two chicks today! I got them from a local feed store and they are a week old. Since they were eating and drinking on there own at the store do i need to show them their food and water? I tried showing them their food and sprinkled a few pieces out and they pecked at it and...

    Straw or pine shavings in coop?

    I'm going to use sand in my run, i need some feed back on the exact type of sand i should use and where i could possibly buy it? Also, would it be a good idea to just use sand in the run and straw in the coop? I'm just trying to narrow down my choices for bedding inside the coop.

    Hopefully going to get everything finished this week including the run and get my chicks on Tuesday. I need some ideas for bedding inside the coop. I think i am going to use sand for the run. Any feed back helps!

    Gabe's "budget coop"

    I'm new to the chicken world so i figured i'd make a little thread on how i got started. I eat eggs a lot so i figured i'd try to get some free eggs and have some new pets. I did a lot of research on coop designs and almost spent a lot of money on a coop but then i realized i could make one for...

    Straw or pine shavings in coop?

    I'm so lost with all these choices. I live in Oregon so we have very cold wet winters and mildly warm summers. I've heard everyone saying sand is good, but i've also heard that pine shavings are good. All i want is something that is easy to clean and will be best for my chickens.

    I found this website by just doing some research about chicken coops and other chicken related stuff and i decided to join. Seems like a lot of neat stuff on here. I'm currently in the process of building my first chicken coop made out of pallets. I have a place near my house where i can get...
