    Chicken won’t go in hen house at night

    Do you have a light in the coop. If not try putting a small red light in the coop. If it hot use a LED light. Just male sure it’s red. White light is hard on their eyes. Chickens can’t see in the dark so they won’t go into a dark coop. Good luck :)

    Help raising defected chick

    Sorry I think I said that wrong. I am feeding her chick food. When she gets bigger and starts laying eggs I’ll switch her the egg layer food instead of food for meat chickens. Less protein so she’ll grow slower and it won’t put as much pressure on her heart and other organs.

    Help raising defected chick

    Thank you for being considerate. I have done tons of research and I know they won’t live as long. I have her on food for egg layers so it will help her grow slower. She’s already all over the place hoping back and forth. I’m going to put her out with my other chicks, but I’ll put up a barrier in...

    Testing My Dogs with the Flock

    Sounds like your dogs know that the chickens are part of “the family”. I have a 90lb lab/boxer/greyhound mix who is actually somewhat afraid of my girls.
