    Only one hatched chick, help!

    Unfortunately we don't own an incubator. Hatching out chicks was more her idea than ours, haha. We could potentially buy one or MacGyver something, but we were expecting to get either several chicks or none. Getting only one chick wasn't really on our radar.

    Only one hatched chick, help!

    She usually hangs out outside for an hour or an hour or a half at this time in the afternoon and preens and sun bathes. I guess if she returns around when she normally does, it means she may hatch out more chicks?

    Only one hatched chick, help!

    We know where it is, she's in a chicken tractor by herself with it set up. It's more we don't know if we should trust her to go back and sit on the remaining eggs or if seeing this one chick means she's done.

    Only one hatched chick, help!

    Hello! We spotted my broody hen with a chick for the first time just now! We're worried that we only see one chick. Will she keep trying to incubate and hatch more? Should we get an incubator and fish the eggs out to try to hatch ourselves?

    Sentimental Hydrangea Dying: what's the variety?

    Hello everyone. With the harsh snow this winter, the hydrangea my grandmother planted got destroyed. It was planted probably some time in the 80s, in Ontario Canada zone 5b. I'm wondering if anyone is very good with hydrangea varieties and can help me identify it. It's a paniculata...

    Does an A-frame coop/run need a real floor or can it be open air?

    They've actually just finished. It was white rock Cornish crosses, and there were 20. They sure liked eating, haha. Made it easy to move though because they had 12 hours on 12 hours off food. They'd run to the feeder so the tractor could be dragged along.

    I did end up building a tractor for my broilers, it looks like this:

    Tacticoop Design: embrace the box

    Hey! I fixed the hasps with some bolts with washers and wing nuts! It works super well and keeps stuff tight so weasels can't get in. For final photos, I got the run and everything put up! I put roofing underlay on the top piece of OSB (it's like plywood) so it's waterproof. I put a tarp on...

    Large Rooster, smaller hens, is he going to hurt them?

    He looks even bigger when roosting. Look at him next to the hens on the bar. He's taking half the bar, and the four hens are taking the other half haha. I've only got the four hens, which I'm hoping is enough for him.

    Can I Remove a Roosting Bar?

    The chicken math, it got me! Copper the rooster joins in. They're still all on the one bar though, haha. He's taken half the bar to himself.

    Large Rooster, smaller hens, is he going to hurt them?

    Here's a photo I just took. Copper and the hen on the right are the same distance from the camera so this photo is a good representation of their size difference. And another angle

    Large Rooster, smaller hens, is he going to hurt them?

    Hello! I picked up a rooster (named Copper, a barnyard mic) recently to join my flock. My pullets (red sex link) are about 6 months old, and he is about a year old. I noticed that he's significantly bigger than my hens. I saw him looking to cover one and when he did, he used his feet to...

    Why will none of my pullets sleep in their coop?

    They're so cute in a big cuddle puddle on the ground. We've been picking ours up from outside and putting them on the roosts for the last few days, and they're finally going in the coop and up on the roost themselves.

    Can I Remove a Roosting Bar?

    They're both removable! They sit in between some wood chunks to keep them in place. What are some signs I should add the back bar in again if I take it out? You can see how the bars sit here
