    HELP, Hard Headed Rooster.

    I only have one arm so carring him is pretty much out of the question. And i'm not risking injury to the one arm i got in order to try to pick him up. Maybe i can do it while hes on the roost though.

    9 month old chickens stopped going into coop and it's 19 degrees outside - HELP!?!

    Lock them in, Chickens are creatures of habit. What they do tonight they will do tomorrow night. Keep them in the coop for a few days or a week. I have noticed that in my own coop that when my brooder light is on my chickens will run in and out of the coop even after roost time but they will...
