    Failing in Introduction of new birds

    We had ours living side by side for over 2 months seperated by chicken wire. After growing tired of the younger rooster's 4:30 wake up calls I decided enough was enough and put them all together in the same run/coop. We had 6 adults and 10 younger chicks. I went against all the advice I had...

    RIR looking really scruffy

    We have a RIR that's a little over a year who has taken on a very scruffy almost mangy look. She seems to be healthy, very active, just not very attractive. A couple of our other hens (not RIR) have some of it going on, but not nearly as bad. At first I thought it was molting, and that could be...

    Introducing chickens to an existing flock

    We have 6 adult hens and 10 18 week old chicks (one of them being a roo). They've been co-habitating in neighboring coops seperated by chicken wire. We'd like to de-comission the small coop/run and put the younger birds in the main coop/run this weekend, but we're concerned about any potential...

    When do Roosters start getting their groove on?

    We have 1 (maybe 2) Americauna Roo that's darn near perfected his crow and shows the others who's boss. When do they start trying to mate?

    It happened again!!!

    you need to create a penalty system with you wife it sounds like. For every chicken that gets killed she'll owe you ______. Make it a good one and she'll figure it out. Sorry for your losses.

    Moving Day!!!

    I was surprised that our adult girls weren't that interested in them. I figured our more dominant Jersey Giants would have harassed them, but they paid them no mind.. I'm planning on keeping them in their temp coop run for another 6 weeks or so, then putting them all together.

    Moving Day!!!

    FINALLY!!!!! We moved our 10 chicks out of the garage and into their temporary home last night. So happy to have my garage back and get all that dust out. They are happy to have some room to move around. I'm hoping they figure out the whole coop idea tonight and I don't have to break in...

    Medicated Chick Starter given to adult chickens

    My wife just called me and said that we were out of food so she gave them the medicated chick starter. I kind of flipped out a little and told her she needed to go back and pull that from them. If they have to go the morning w/o food then so be it, but it seems to me I read that this is really...

    Runt chick

    The brooder is a water trough that's 4x2x2. They all seem to have enough room. We see her eat and drink and added another feeder to the brooder to make sure that she'd have a place to eat and not get crowded out. She's just so small. I might try to add some apple cider vinegar to their water...
