New to backyard chickens! I need help!

Good luck...- JanKuziel

Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!
Hi and thanks for the reminder! We've been super busy, traveling and of course "chickening" with our 9 hens. I'm actually about to post a question about one of my hens who is very aggressively protecting phantom chicks! She skipped being broody and thinks she has chicks but we have ZERO chicks...- JanKuziel

Nest box drama
I have 9 hens and 5 nest boxes in their coop. So of course they all want to lay in just 1 of the 5 boxes. They all stand there staring down the one who is laying, squawking at the top of their lungs for a couple hours each morning until everyone has had their turn. I’ve tried to entice them into...- JanKuziel

The 2 sex-linked have passed and my bantam was lonely so we got some more pullets to raise with her. Despite being a broody girl (she is 4.5 years old now, she was not mother material so we...- JanKuziel

Fans in coops??
I have a fan mounted higher up in my coop and then on hot nights I put a small, battery operated fan in the window going out to pull the heated air and also for more ventilation.- JanKuziel

Regular sized rooster + Bantam hens?
My young sussex rooster tried to mount my 4+ year old bantam who has no experience with a rooster at all. I have 9 regular sized hens we got with him (actually we were buying pullets but he slipped thru the sexing I guess) We love him and he's a nice rooster but I'm very worried about my little...- JanKuziel
