    Hen molting issue

    I'll take a look at it. We didn't purchase our coop from any store or manufacturer. We built both of them and the second coop and run with the chicks is considerably larger than the first. After doing more reading I think we're planning to take a walk out and extend the size of the current coop...

    Hen molting issue

    Extremely helpful information! Our coop that houses 6 (currently 5 due to removal of said hen) is about 12 sqft. The run is about twice that size.

    Hen molting issue

    Hi there! We have six laying hens. This past fall they all began to molt. However, one of our ISA Brown's began to be 'pecked on' as I'd like to call it.

    We have chicks right now as well. Some that are a few days old and some that are a couple weeks old. We have them all in the same pen and directly under our lamp the temperature reads right around 95-100 degrees. The older ones move away from the heat lamp when they're too warm and the young one...

    Good Morning, I'm new around here!

    Hi there! I'm Maggie, a twenty-seven year old mother of one from Ohio. My son, husband, and I have twenty-six chickens that we adore. We've had chickens for about two years now. Just recently, we jumped from having our six grown hens, to acquiring twenty more chicks just in the past few weeks...
