    Layena crumble (has calcium in it). Occasionally toss them some meal worms or garden weeding to peck through but not regularly.

    Vent gleet?

    Hi folks. I have a 3 year old hen who has been having diarrhea and poop backside feathers for about 2 ish weeks. I've washed her off but it persists. After some research I'm wondering if it's vent gleet? She has been eating and drinking and mostly looking fine. Til today, when she seems to be...

    Breed and sex?

    Thanks for the math on this. Our run is 9ft x 13ft so we're good on that front. And then I let them out of the run to another area a few times a week to free range a little. The chickens seem to do fine in the run. Some normal pecking order stuff but nothing too intense. But yeah the coop is not...

    Breed and sex?

    I'm hesitant as well as I raised these two from chicks and their are otherwise good hens. I think I'll see if things change as they get older. Thanks for this - it made me feel better about the idea of re homing them.

    Breed and sex?

    So I have 2 of my old adult hens left. But there are 6 babies. The coop had said up to 10 so I figured 8 would be okay since they only seem to sleep in there and are in the run during the day. Guess not. I originally had 5 grown hens that did well in there together.

    Damn. I had kind of assumed that since they only sleep in there it wouldn't be a problem.

    Breed and sex?

    I'm in Pennsylvania so it does get cold but my hens have always been out and about in the run during the day.
  13. Q

    Breed and sex?

    Damn... they were supposed to be sexed. No roosters. The coop itself is fairly small. It's the largest eglu coop. But their run is quite large. The coop states it should fit this many. I just tried to place one of the chicks at the door of the coop and one of my hens came over and gave it a...

    Breed and sex?

    Hi all! I have some young chickens (about 10ish weeks old) that we have integrated with our big hens. They share a run well and the little guys are learning the pecking order. However, every night the Littles go to sleep on the top of the coop..... instead of inside. And every night we move them...
