    Rotating Roos?

    Unfortunately I do not have a large area for my chickens. That is part of the reason why I didn't want to add another rooster to my flock. I did not take into consideration that I would have to sequester the rooster with the hen(s). That will probably be my best option to ensure they are pure...

    Rotating Roos?

    I currently have 10 Hens to my 1 RIR Rooster. They pretty much are out in the yard/run all day long. I was hoping to get one or maybe two more Buff Orpington Roosters to some day breed with my Buff Orp Hens. My question is that would it be okay to rotate the new Rooster(s) with the Hens. I...

    Treadle Feeders??

    Thanks for all those great responses. The sparrows and doves are still wreaking havoc as we speak so I better do something quick. Thanks for the tip gryeyes, I will check e-bay for that may be a more economical option. As for the chicken hitting her head on the lid, I've watched several videos...

    Treadle Feeders??

    The only one I could find was from Grandpas. Looked high and low for more choices but no luck. I was thinking of getting the standard size for my 12 Hens and 1 Roo. They never seem to eat at the same time anyways.

    Treadle Feeders??

Does anyone else out there use it and is it worth the rather steep price? I have neither the time or the skill to build my own from...

    Does the pecking order change?

    I recently introduced a new RIR rooster to my flock of 11 hens. He is only 4 months old and pretty tame. The first day he came in contact with the other hens, my 2 oldest hens (16mos) Black Stars immediately challenged him and became dominant. He is actually a little bigger than the hens now...

    Is chick starter bad for laying hens?

    Is it bad if laying hens eat chick starter (broiler)? A couple of my hens seem to prefer it. They always try to get at my pullets feed through the coop wire and sometimes eat the leftovers even though they have their own food.
