    Chicken Surprise

    A month ago I was very surprised to find a lost loose Americana chicken in my yard as three of my cats watched her through the fence. I tried to find her owner but nobody claimed her. Long story short, we built a 10"x10' coop for her and named her Mollie. She was nervous at first but it...

    Adding chicks with other chicks

    I have seven 4.5 week old chicks who have been in outside coop for a week with a heated box that they use at night. Temps are 70s and 80s during the day, 30s and 40s at night. I also have three 3 week old chicks who have been inside with temps 77-84. Would it be okay to mix all 10 together in...

    Two sets of chicks

    Thank you. Do they still need to be fully feathered when in 75-80 weather outside?

    Two sets of chicks

    I have two sets of chicks. Seven are 4 weeks old and recently have been introduced to outdoors and have a heated box at night. Three are two weeks old and still indoors. The smallest of the seven seems to be lowest in pecking order and often hangs back. Would it be okay to put her in with the...

    Rescued a single hen

    We recently adopted a hen and we have seven chicks that are 11 days old so it will be awhile before we put them together. In the meantime, would it be a good idea to find another full grown hen to keep our single hen company?
