I successfully managed to sneak 4 day olds under my broody hen. She had been separated from the flock in the coop and the little are now almost 4 wks old. I have had them in my chicken tractor spending time along with my 4 other hens who free range. ( no rooster)
How old should they be before...
Anyone have experience with juniper shavings......working on live edge tops for a project and thought they might be good in the run.....are they too aromatic for the chooks ?
Sorry no build thread ...we are working on some fun cut outs to decorate and replace wood strips midway on run
They have caught on to laying in the nesting box after being kept in Thanks for your reply
My girls are about 5 ½ month old. My Maran has just started laying but has proceeded to do it under our porch steps. They free range from about 12-5 each day and want to encourager her and the rest of the gang to use the nesting boxes.
Any suggestions? Should I take one of the eggs and place...
Just two weeks in with my 8 chicks and wanted to know what supplies might be good to have
for emergency issues or treatments. Wanted to put together my kit and have it handy if anything arises as I'm sure it will.
Thanks

And I was wondering if anyone has ever used a seedling heat mat when picking up chicks from USPost ? Thought I might cover it with a towel ......any suggestions ? I am in Florida not exactly the frigid tundra. Thanks in advance
