    So if they all have it is it to late for the aforementioned vaccinations? Is there anything I should do to prevent from having to put anymore down?

    When can I put chicks outside in the coop?

    I live in Ione. Not far from Sacramento and I have lost 6 Chickens this year to the heat. 4 of those were Bantams. Be careful.

    High Heat = less eggs?

    I noticed that here to. I could not understand why our 3 would only produce 1 rarely 2 eggs per day when we were getting three a day. This went on for a while and now they are back to 3 per day "One from each" We went through a heat spell and for the past week or so its been a lot cooler.

    Do to the responses of my lasts question I decided not to take the chance of my chickens getting out so I built a movable coup out of all 2X2 galvanized wire. It is a circle about 4' in diameter and today I put my 4 Bantam's in it. They are doing a great job taking care of my weeds and I figured...

    Letting them run free

    Hi everyone. New here. We have a half acre that is all fenced in. The shortest part of the fence is about 4' tall. Is that tall enough to contain our chickens? We have 4 Bantams and 3 I don't know's.
