    Do Cochins grow slower?

    I knew that bantams were smaller. I was just worried cause this is my first time raising bantams.

    Do Cochins grow slower?

    Do they grow slower or something? They are 12 weeks old and are still really small. They’re bantam Cochins. I’m trying to wait until they are bigger to intergrate them with my bigger chickens but they haven’t really grown since 8 weeks old.

    Brooder question

    Where would I get the cardboard box at. I plan on getting 10 or so, but the number isn’t set yet. Also we have had a couple chickens die so we went from 8 hens to 6 hens now and only getting a couple a week.

    Brooder question

    Ik that overall it’s his decision but our girls are starting to get a little older and he complains about them not laying when it’s bc they are getting a little older. So adding on new chicks would help with egg production. I also know that it can take 6 months for them to start laying. I’m also...

    Brooder question

    So I’m thinking about getting that for a brooder. I have a brooder plate and my dad is worried about the house catching on fire with that being plastic and a brooder plate being hot. I don’t know if there is an age restriction or something so hopefully I don’t like kicked off or something. I do...

    Separate

    Ofc if he starts picking on the others I will but so far it’s just her. She was separated for a week and he wasn’t picking on any of the other ones so hopefully not.

    Separate

    She also doesn’t like to be mated at all. She runs from him any time she sees him. I feel like it’s stressing her out so my best bet is to separate her from everyone else.

    Separate

    He’s not young at all. He will be 2 in April. The hens don’t pick on her but they aren’t the best buddies. I think I’ll just build another coop and get her some friends hopefully. I have to force her to go in the coop.

    Separate

    So my rooster has decided to pick on my favorite hen and I think it’s bc she isn’t part of the cliche he has going on with the rest of the hens. Well recently two of her friends have either died or went missing. It started a little before but now she doesn’t have any friends. Killing isn’t an...

    Predator or Mites or Fight

    To me it also doesn’t make sense bc one of our neighbors has a dog but he’s seen my chickens plenty of times and has never done anything but I guess that’s a possibility.
