    Help Moving Coop

    Wow, I feel stupid lol. I do have a question. If I pull with my truck, it has to go uphill a bit and the ground isn’t 100% level, will that be an issue?

    Help Moving Coop

    It doesn’t have a base like a shed though as it’s on four legs. I’ll look into this bobcat with forks

    Help Moving Coop

    Hello guys, So now that my parents have their chickens settled, I got some pigeons and need an idea of how to move the coop. It needs to be moved about 300ft over flat but somewhat uneven ground. Any ideas? It’s a 4x8 but well built and extremely heavy

    Have several Golden Comets that are not laying - Signs hold old they are.

    How long have you had them and how old are they? Pics

    Golden Comet Broody????

    She laid 4 more over a 6 day period and on Friday, she got off the nest and went back to being the way she was. Didn't think she would stay broody and she proved me right, unfortunately

    Roller Pigeons

    Once the birds are trained, you can leave the feed in. They will always return home. If you don't plan on anything more than 1/2 mile, other flying breeds will work just as well as homers. If you watch the video carefully, you will see that right at the beginning, I have a little makeshift cap...

    Roller Pigeons

    I assume you are using homing pigeons. With that said, having food in there 24/7 is acceptable except during training. Feeding 2x a day is the best method and when training, you take them out just before feeding time, whether it be early morning or late afternoon.

    Golden Comet Broody????

    So I woke up this morning and when I released my small flock, my golden comet (or ISA brown) hen went straight to her nest box. I thought maybe she was going to lay. Two hours later, she’s sitting all the way down like a setting hen. Now this is the first time I’ve kept non-Asian chickens. All...

    Help I don't think my broody got up today!

    Don’t worry, when a hen is hungry enough, she will get off to get some water, feed, and relieve herself.

    Egg bound?

    Update, it looks even more lethargic and can’t even run

    Egg bound?

    She moves very slow, I did put my finger by her vent and do believe I feel something as she is exhaling but am not sure. She is 24 weeks old, does defecate but droppings are very minimal, slightly larger than a wet parakeet dropping. And yes, I have two Golden Comet hens that the Roo likes...

    Egg bound?

    I have a hen that has become more and more lethargic and is having issues getting up to higher perches and is walking funny. The tail is now concave, rounded, and pointed toward the bottom. I’m not sure I can feel an egg but am just wondering if it is egg bound? She is 24 weeks, one of her other...

    Getting started/introduced to this Adventure!

    Before you even start looking at getting chickens, get a coop/tractor of some sort built first and build it so it is big enough to hold at least 5 more chickens than what you think you need. If you think you only want 5 hens, build it large enough for 10. Once you have your coop, then decide...

    All hens? (ISA browns)

    ISA browns are a red sex-link hybrid. All the pullets are red with speckles of white while the roos are mostly white. ISA is just an acronym for the company that has the right to the name, Institute de Selection Animale

    Not RIR?

    All the RIR I’ve seen online are a much deeper red. Is there a color difference between a golden comet and an ISA brown? I know both are just red sex links using slightly different cocks and hens
