    Who goes in time out

    Thanks to seeing a post by Ridgerunner about some picking at different looking chicks, things are going well today. The two in time out came out late afternoon yesterday to find all light heads painted with blue kote. As were some similar sized rocks, a fake duckling and random spots on their...

    Who goes in time out

    I have 10 pullets,and 4 cockerels 7 months old. Coop portion of shed is 4x8x6 tall, opens to 12x10 enclosed run with roof. I can make pens out in the run for days, temps dipped to 60 but days back up to 70s-80s but temps have been upper 30s at night the past week. Back up to forecast upper 40s...

    Who goes in time out

    Yes. The two who picked are in closed crate on top of the big crate the hen and remaining 4 are in. She called to them while she and the younger ones were out in the exercise extension

    Who goes in time out

    These bantams are quite a Learning curve from any chickens I’ve had in past. Admittedly only one time with a silkie mama who brooded chicks inside. But 3 different flicks raised in a brooder and never has this issue. Fifi the frizzle has 6 chicks who are now 4 weeks old. She hasn’t lost one and...

    Back to the nest box

    Thank you, I had that part maybe it was the as thumbnails or preview part I slipped up on. I’m so glad not to have the old way of run to library to read or try to find someone with experience, but I think some days I could inadvertently break the internet 🤓

    Thank You ChicalinaI wasn’t thinking small enough- that I can manage for them until I get help with the outer one. That double decker in your pic! I keep checking local listings for something similar to make a nicer set up for solo needed or brooding someday again in the far future. Ha unless...

    Did the reply with the pics and explanation work or I still need to learn how to do that?

    Back to the nest box

    Thank you, and yes you got it. With so many young and no where to get away well if multiples decide to go after them, I’d planned to box off a space so can see outside. They are used to them inside. Some sleep by the pen on the floor and some try to grab through it when going in to lay eggs but...

    Back to the nest box

    I’m sorry. I went detail and pics under raising chicks. I thought. But no views so I prob didn’t do it right. my pullets are 6 months old. By the time I realized 4were sharing 2 nests, broody and eggs were developing well I didn’t have the heart to pull them. These 2 have 4 chicks with them...

    Back to the nest box

    This mama raised babies 🐥is confusing There are 3 spaces from these 2hatches. Since I put the girls in low contained areas in the coop, I daily pen everybody else out and open one pen at a time so they get space and explore. The 2 hens have been flying up on the kennel the single hen is in with...

    Working on broody with chicks solutions

One of the two rejected chicks in bin and everyone else waiting outside The 4 with two moms & ones in bin they pecked are 3 weeks and 2.5 (Bin)weeks...

    Broody mamas chicks and I’m lost

    No. They didn’t come off until all hatched. She’s the one who actually stayed with these late comers while the other hen took the 4 already hatched out in the coop. I figured even though all together she was taking on the smallest
