    New rooster - how to join flock?

    Thanks for your reply. I misspoke, all of them are 18 weeks now and we have received a couple eggs. I guess we will continue with what we are doing. I hope he will soon leave the run with flock. We shall see . . . I appreciate you encouragement! Thank you

    New rooster - how to join flock?

    Hello - Just over a week ago I got a 3 month old roo to join my 3 month old hens, 8 of them. We have had them separated by fencing in the coop so they are able to see each other and eat side by side. Yes, there have been scuffles at the fence/feed area as expected. The hens free range during...

    Chicken lights

    There are two small windows on each side of the house. That’s all that is available. Hopefully they figure it out, they are smart birds. Thanks for your input, I appreciate it!

    3 week old chick won’t walk

    3 week old chick won’t walk

    All my chicks have not had any issues. Then tonight, one girl only sits, kinda walks to the feeder without lifting her body. Stays by herself. Lies upright, and lets her left wing fall outward. What do you think? What should I check?

    Comment by 'Hen-She' in article 'Introducing Your Dog To Chickens- Tips & Tricks'

    Great article! This has been a lot of my fears as I also have an American Staffy who seriously defends her yard from squirrels. Which gives me concerns about my new chickens. I will definitely keep your suggestions in mind with training her. Thanks for the article!
