    Need help with unexpected kids

    I have only had 2 kids within the last year but I bottle fed a 4 week old until she was 4 months old; until she was old enough to eat on her own. Are you able to put a heat lamp on the babies in the same area as the momma? Keep trying to show the momma her babies. Let her clean them and get...

    ROOSTERS OR HENS??

    ] I bought straight run baby chicks in May. I was told they were RIR's and Silkies. They are roughly 7 months old. No eggs and no crowing as of yet. Can you help me determine the sex?

    Help...All of my Chickens are dying

    They were sorry for the most part. I have posted signs around all the pens. I also put deer cameras up to see what goes on while I am at work. It's a shame because I had all of those chicks from birth. I am looking for a local breeder that had laying hens for sale. Where do I look on here? ?

    Night Behavior

    The chicks were in the coop for about a week or so before I ever let them in the yard. I have plenty of ventilation for them, it is dark in there though. I have two windows on opposite ends for cross flow ventilation. I have a roost bar about 5 inches above the floor of the coop. I may try to...

    Night Behavior

    I have 2 Silkies, 3 RIR's, and 3 Marans they are all 6-8 weeks old. At night they climb the ladder to there coop and they sleep in the doorway. They don't perch they just huddle up and sleep together. It isn't cold at night. Is this normal behavior? Should I be doing something different?
