    Snixter3s Chicken Coop

    We converted an old hog house into our chicken coop. We cut 4 foot(it is 4x10 feet) off the front of the hog house and took boards from the hog house to use in the remodeling of the chicken coop.

    crossed beak

    I have a friend that has a month old chick she is wanting to give away, it has crossed beak. Is that a big problem? What will the outcome of the bird be when it grows? I have 10- 7 week old chicks now, would it hurt to get this one to be with them? I only want them for eggs, not for meat...

    when to shut the light off

    My chicks are 6 weeks old now and in the hen house. I have been keeping the heat lamp on for them 24/7. When is a good time to turn it off for good? I don't want them to over heat or get to cold either. I am in Indiana. The days are anywhere between 40 and 65 degrees the nights 30-50 degrees...
