    Plucking feathers and bare bottoms - can't figure out the problem

    No I don't think so. All ten hens eat the same food and only four of them have this problem. I have separated out the two larger birds that are not affected just to make sure that they are being too aggressive with the four that have this condition. Our original four Brahma Bantams are...

    Plucking feathers and bare bottoms - can't figure out the problem

    We bought them as chicks so I don't think so.

    Plucking feathers and bare bottoms - can't figure out the problem

    Hi all. We started with four Brahma Bantam chickens almost two years ago and they are doing great. Last spring (2013) we added (2) New Hampshire Reds, (2) Buff Orpingtons and (2) Plymouth Rock Barr pullets. I was able to successfully integrate them with the Brahma Bantams. But in November I...

    Feed recommendations for integrating new birds

    We have four 1 year old Brahma Bantam hens and tonight we will be introducing our new 8-week old birds ((2) Buff Orpington, (2) New Hampshire Red and (2) Barred Plymouth Rock) to the roost. We have been feeding the Brahmas layer feed since they started laying and the new birds have been on...

    Coop Cam

    The barn is about 30-35 yards from the house. I had a signal in the barn from the Apple Extreme network in the house but it was not strong enough for the Dropcam to connect consistently. But it was plenty strong for the second Airport Extreme (earlier version that I replaced on our home...

    Coop Cam

    I had a spare Apple Extreme wireless modem so I set it up in our barn to Extend our home network. I purchased a Dropcam wireless HD camera with 2-way audio and infrared. Here is a screen who from their first night no camera and only second night in their new coop. I'll be posting some new...

    Comment by 'ncangler' in album 'Hen house'

    I wish I'd seen this before I built my coop/run. Extremely well thought out and executed.

    Modifications to my EggYolk chicken tractor and pics of my birds

    Okay, I took some quick pictures inside the coop. I'll try to take some better ones next time I clean it out. I need to add some shavings as they've scratched and bunched them up. Here is inside view from the rear access door. This is from the same view that shows one of the...

    Modifications to my EggYolk chicken tractor and pics of my birds

    Oh and we have two next boxes that are accessible on the back side of the coop as seen in this picture. Simply turn the handles and reach inside to gather the eggs. We can't wait till the girls reach laying age. The large middle door is where you access/place the inside waterer/feeder units...

    Modifications to my EggYolk chicken tractor and pics of my birds

    We love it too. There is a roost bar inside the coop and on the outside that you can see in the picture. There is also a feeder and waterer unit inside and out. There are lots of ventilation options and clean out of the unit is very easy. There is a trap door underneath so I just disconnect...

    Modifications to my EggYolk chicken tractor and pics of my birds

    Hi all. My wife and I are new chicken enthusiasts. I acquired an EggYolk chicken tractor back in May and four Brahma Bantam pullets. I love the EggYolk and the birds are very happy in it. But with foxes and hawks already sighted in our back yard I wanted to further secure the birds during...

    Can't post a review

    Got it. That makes sense. Sorry I didn't pick up on that. Maybe it was in the registration welcome email and I missed it. I run a forum for fishing enthusiasts in NC and we did the same thing to fight SPAM registrations. I've got some updated pictures of our chickens and our coop setup...

    I want to write a review for the Yolk System, which is a chicken tractor coop that I own. I found the item in the reviews section but when I click on Write a Review I get this error message: You do not have permission to create or edit a review. I tried logging out and back in again but...
