Sad part was that she was one of our first birds that...

    Introducing new members to the flock, behavior

    This is our first time raising chickens and so far we loooove it but this was a new chapter trying to integrate the two groups. We have been slowly introducing them but i guess a couple of weeks longer won't hurt. Right now my coop is divided in half with chicken wire and would love to have...

    Roosters and New pullets

    Thank you sooo much for the input . But you are correct I have one RIR and two leghorns. One of the leghorns is very calm never even crows. Our main focus is egg production. At this point raising chicks is a possibility but not on the agenda. Getting the flock in order before winter is a main...
