    Strange behavior

    I locked them in their run today because of severe weather, they went into their coop like normal at bed time. Hopefully we are on the road back to normal

    Hen help!

    Hello, I hope everyone is doing well. I need some help! I have 2 grown hens and they all of a sudden have decided to sleep outside of their coop. They coop is predator safe.

    Strange behavior

    Thank you! I have one long roost for them in the coop, it's just the two of them for now. I truly thought they were just mad I put sand in the run the first couple of days and when they went in on their own last night I was relieved they forgave me. Haha, well I guess not, maybe it was because...

    Introduction to dust bath

    Hello! Curious what your thoughts are as I've read mixed things. Is there a certain age baby chicks need to be before introducing a dast bath station for them? I've heard as early as 2 days old all the way up to 6 weeks.. Thanks so much!

    Vaccinated vs non Vaccinated chicks together

    So it's better to just put them all on a medicated feed to help with coccidiosis as it doesn't effect the vaccination against mareks? I started non medicated today for my 4, will it hurt them to switch to a medicated in a few days? Can I keep my vaccinated and non Vaccinated together?

    Vaccinated vs non Vaccinated chicks together

    They are vaccinated against Mareks. picture of brooder attached. Heat lamp is the current heat source on one end. I have a thermometer in there to keep an eye on the temp. It's attached to a chair so can be adjusted if needed.
