    I've got 8 free ranging chickens who are now 12 weeks old. They are doing great! Problem is I have this annoying wild chicken who keeps leaping the fences and comes and grazes and then leaves again. My girls are quite confused with all of this. The wild one tries to mingle but they want...

    allowing chicks in the yard?

    Hi, I was wondering if it's okay to allow my 3 week old chicks to peck around in the backyard? Haven't done it yet. The temps here have been almost 90 degrees. Is it okay for them? Thanks~

    too crowded??? Please help!!

    Thank you both for your help. I took them out and they are doing much better. We'll have the coop up by next weekend and I have them seperated into 2 boxes. What I have noticed though coming from one, is a regular poop but with chocholate watery poop around it. IS this normal? I was using...

    Also, if they do need a bigger space, I don't have room for a bigger tub, so is it okay to split them up and then rotate them into the two tubs?? Best, Lissadell
