    Night time roosting

    Yes I replaced the ramp to its original spot immediately then I placed the hands inside the coop that evening close the door I let them out the next day but that night they went back to the roost up above the coop

    Night time roosting

    Hi everyone my new flock I had trained to go into the coop at night then I moved their ramp one night now suddenly they don't want to go in anymore they're all roosting at the highest point inside the chicken run they're safe they're high up they're all penned in but I'm afraid that they won't...

    This chick has an interesting pattern..

    Could it be a rooster? I had some bullets that I picked out and I picked one cuz it resembled a hawk turned out to be a rooster! 😂

    It has been my experience that wants the bird has full feathers it can withstand the cold better that can take the heat if you have a flock if need be they will huddle together make sure you use straw instead of hey straw is tubular holding air pockets which helps to hold heat. Best of luck!

    Topic of the Week - Raising Chicks

    I'm fairly new to this myself but I've learned that any Chick or rooster or hen that's being aggressive it's best to pick them up and hold them hold them close to you hold them by their legs and make sure they can't turn around and Peck at you the more you handle them the more docile they'll become
