    Getting older hens to perch??

    Okay so I went to put them on the roost. I decided on no light. I get in the coop some were pecking around and some were huddled.

    Getting older hens to perch??

    Oh man. Well I usually only take a glow stick. It's neon green kinda bright but I didn't think it was too bright. They do however move around in the night my rooster thinks it's fun to crow throughout the night.

    Incubator issues!!

    Do you have any suggestions on which ones to get? I had read this before and bought another one but I assume that it would still probably fall on the cheap side since I only paid $10.

    Incubator issues!!

    So I've just started out with hatching chicks, I've had my chickens for 6 years and nothing has really went wrong. Until now! I've let my broody hens hatch their chicks, that's went okay. I bought one of the cheap incubators since I don't have $700 to spend on a high tech one, but that has...
