    Chicks in coop overnight

    I have integrated my four babies with my two older hens and that has gone well. However, I only have had them outside during the day. I bring them back in to the garage at night. It's finally getting warmer over-night (mid 50's) and I'm wondering how I should go about having them start...

    Hen?

    I have two hens, or what I thought were two hens. Here is why I am confused. I have one of the a RIR, and she is for sure a hen. She is that last of a batch of hens I got a few years ago. I worried that she would be lonely, so my friends gave me one of her Barred Rock. We've been going...

    Dog killed chicken

    Thank you so much. I did give them some watermelon today, and they came out....only to see the dog in the yard and ran back inside. I think it'll be a slow process.

    FFA Project

    Thank you for all your suggestions. I love the analogy of a garden. Thank you for that. I will share it with my family. I don't think we will participate in the processing. However, it will be done in the next week or so.

    Hello from San Diego County!

    Hi all, I'm new here and new to chickens. I'm not much of a "message boarder", but I love my chickens. I'm going to learn as much as I can and ask lots of questions! Glad to have found this site!

    FFA Project

    That's what we will do. Give thanks for them. As for our new loves, according to the Feed Store: Barred Rock, Red Sex Link and Rhode Island Reds. Two of each. They were born May 23 and we've had them a week. Like I said, I'm new to the whole thing, but am jumping in with both feet!

    FFA Project

    We have never processed chickens, but I have a friend that will help out with that. Yes, the ultimate result was to process them, but it's getting more difficult by the day! They are so sweet! We will do what is best for them, though. I don't want them to suffer. The good news is that we...

    FFA Project

    Hello, My son raised five meat pens as his FFA project. We have become very attached to them. This was the first time we had chickens. We loved them so that we got we got six babies for eggs. Now we are thinking that we don't want to process the meat pens. Is it possible to have these two...
