    Best feeder to prevent waste??

    I have 4 chickens (7 wks old) and one in particular beaks food out of the feeder in the picture. I read on the Chicken-Chick website that one solution is to put chicken wire in the feeder, which I did yesterday. But now I'm not so sure they're eating out of the feeder. Should I remove the...

    Chickens in Clairemont...is an enclosed run necessary? I have a fenced off section for day use (they're secured in the coop at night), but only let them use it when I'm home (they're 6 weeks). Think it's fairly safe to let them use the yard when I'm not home? Part of it is covered by lattice...

    changing feed brand/type

    First time chicken owner. My chicks are 6 weeks old. They've been on the brand of crumble they were fed where they hatched. Would like to change to Scratch N Peck starter/grower. Do I approach it the same way I would with a dog or cat—changing it a bit at at time? Thanks for the help!

    Hiya! I'm in Clairemont area. My girls will be 5 weeks old this Sunday, and seem to be feathered out--one still has some fluff on her head. I'd like put them out in the coop/run, but was told they have to be totally feathered out. They sleep on top of the Brinsea heater now rather than...

    Weird pecking behavior?

    (Jackieperk was asking about my chicks) I'm using a kiddie pool for the brooder, and it's bright pink... (only color they had and I didn't stop to think). Could they be pecking because of the color? We could drape a sheet over the sides to hide the color...
