    Chicks will not go up into coop at night

    Hello! I moved my (now 13 weeks old) chicks into the main coop with my lone survivor hen a few weeks ago. They now all get along fine, but no matter what I do, the chicks will NOT follow the older hen up into the coop at night.. I cant keep going outside every night to manually pick each of them...

    Possible Easter egger? Random breed in bin at farm and fleet

    Hi everyone! Farm and fleet surprised me and had chicks for sale the other day. I decided to get a few and noticed this girl in the “Golden laced Wyandotte” bin, when she clearly wasn’t a GLW ( poofy cheeks, totally different patterning and color). What do you think my chances are that this...

    Do you think this could be a roo?

    Hi everyone! I got 5 chicks almost 2 weeks ago, and all of them but one has lots of wing and tail feathers coming in. I have a light brahma and a buff Brahma, and when you compare the feathering it’s pretty noticeable. Possibly a roo?

    Do they usually have such light feathers though? Or will they darken over time

    Definitely yellow legs. Too young to really tell the comb, but seems like maybe a single comb.

    Meyer meal maker

    Hi everyone! They arrived today, and since I opted to receive a free meal maker, this little lady is what I received. I’m thinking she’s probably a buff orphington or maybe a white leghorn? Her feet are very yellow, and the little feathers on her wings are very very light, almost white. She...

    Need help- all girls but one killed, chicks on the way

    Hi everyone! This has been a terrible week due to a coyote(s) killing all but one of my ladies. She’s obviously freaked out, and is constantly running around calling for her friends. I ordered more chicks and they will ship Monday. My question is, how early can I introduce them? I think...

    Hen randomly passed away in nest box... :(

    Hi everyone, Today I went to feed and water the ladies like I do every day, and when I went to get the eggs out of the nest box I found my white EE who passed away while sleeping (or thats what it looks like she was doing..) :confused:. There werent any injuries, blood, missing feathers, etc...

    What would do this? :(

    I live in northern Illinois. No, the "second" run is not enclosed on top, since it is literally huge. (125' perimeter, 5' high to be exact). The actual coop and run are fully enclosed in hardware cloth. I usually open the door to the run attached to the actual coop everyday and let the girls...

    What would do this? :(

    Thank you :( this is the 4th one I've lost in the past year. I love these ladies so much. Breaks my heart to know they had to die so awfully (the other ones were taken by some sort of animal over the summer)

    Full grown. I'd say a few pounds at least. She was an EE
