    Sand, Sand and more Sand...

    I turned a horse stall into a chicken coop for mine and had the same problem; floor was like a brick it was so compact. I used a thick layer of sawdust (no cedar) and about once a month I'll go in and rake out feathers and the majority of the nasty stuff and then I'll mix up the sawdust, moving...

    Help Sick 3 weeks old chick

    I don't know what it could be but you might want to seperate the sick chick from the others if possible. It being sick could not only spread it but the other chicks are more likely to pick on it just making it stress more

    New Coop Plans

    Hi everybody! In advance, thanks for the help(: So, I'm converting a horse stall in my barn into a chicken coop. The stall is an 8x10 ft and I'm not sure yet how big I'm going to make the attached run. I have 14 chickens but sadly, I might have to get rid of some since I ended up with 4...

    new babies and odd ball hen

    I'm a little confused...are you saying keep Poppy with your new chicks and have two seperate flocks or after a bit of them being together combine flocks? I think keeping it two flocks would be best. My sis just turned her month old chicks in with her full grown ones and one hen bullied them...

    Help my Lavender SILKIE is in Trouble.

    Muscovy eggs hatching 6 days early? HELP!

    Having the temp too high in your incubator can cause them to hatch early

    Boy?? Girl??

    I don't know how reliable this is but I just compared them to my chicks (2 weeks old) and the combs on yours are way smaller than all of mine, including the hens, so my guess is all hens...I guess you'll know for sure when egg time gets here (:
