I plan to hatch a few eggs and raise a few chicks, i plan to get more chickens in the future to add. But wanting to have a good idea of what to have right now for the current chickens i have. More chickens is better for sure!
Hi all, my chickens are starting to outgrow their coop i built them a few months ago and starting to need more room. What would be a simple and effective coop size for them? I have 13 chickens that will be going into it. A coop that they can grow into will work they’re about 2 and a half months...
What would be the best solution right now for my cockerel? Should i re home him and just have pullets until they start laying then reintroduce a new cockerel/rooster. Or should i some how separate him for the next six months? He’s one of my favorite chickens along with my blue EE and silver...
I think they have an established pecking order the hens that are around his size don’t get messed with at all, i have about 2 month old hens with him (all hens and the rooster are 2 months and 2 and a half months) the smaller hens don’t get bullied or anything as well. Will thinning the flock...
I got them all around a week old including the rooster so they’ve all grown up together, i had 3 roosters out of my straight runs and rehoused 2 of them when they started fighting for hen rights. The current rooster does fine with all the hens and minds his own business, he doesn’t bully or peck...
As hard as it is i’m in the process of thinning the flock from 30 to 13 :( i plan to keep my favorite ones and was wondering if 1 rooster for 12 hens would be a good ratio to where the hens aren’t getting messed with too much, They’re about 2 and a half months right now.
Hello all,
I got this chicken today and when asked what breed she is they said she is a Welsummer. I’m just wanting to see other opinions on what she could be.
