    Best thing for single chicken.

    Thanks so much for replying. I think I'm going to have to definitely get another hen at the weekend because it's so sad to see my existing lady looking so lonely and looking for her pal.

    Best thing for single chicken.

    Unfortunately I went from 2 to 1 chickens yesterday as one of my lovely ladies suddenly passed away. The remaining one is obviously lonely but I don't know what to do next. I've read conflicting info about the best thing to do. I've read that I'm better to rehome this one and start afresh or...

    Chicken died, bloody back end.

    Thanks so much for replying. There was no chance of a predator as the run is really secure and the other one seems fine.

    What time do you shut the coop?

    Thanks so much for replying. I've got an Eglu classic that leads on to a run which seems secure enough. We have snow at the moment so I was concerned about leaving the door open as it's cold, but to be fair they've been outside in the cold most of the day.

    What time do you shut the coop?

    Hi everyone, I'm new to chickens, brand new in fact, I got my first two chickens yesterday :) I'm curious as to when's the best time to shut the door to the coop. My girls have been in and out all day but mostly in the run. I'm in Yorkshire, England and it's getting dark about 5pm at the...
