    Thank you for the ideas! I've looked into both of them and I think the chunnels are the ideal way for my situation.

    Chicken run ideas

    My chickens are currently in one end of the barn with an automatic door leading outside. Right now they run free around my yard. The problem is they are digging up everything from my flowers to my garden! I have a fenced in "pasture" that I want to contain them in. My question is what do I...

    Crop leaking

    I have a hen who yesterday I noticed was looking under the weather. She was not eating or moving very much and her neck area was swollen. When I touched it it appeared sponge-like and and she acted like it hurt her. Today, it appears that her crop burst or something. It looks like it's...

    At what age can a new chick be combined with rest of the flock?

    Thank you for the responses! I think I will try putting them together in a day or two when I will be home all day and see how it goes.

    At what age can a new chick be combined with rest of the flock?

    Hello, I have a baby chick and ma hen in a separate tank and I want to put them in with the rest of the coop. The chick is a little over 3 weeks old...will it be okay? I'm afraid that the other hens will be mean to it. Thanks

    Hens or Roosters...how to tell

    I guess in hindsight I should have known something was up when she was selling them for $5 each

    Hens or Roosters...how to tell

    well I certainly learned my lesson when buying chickens! I will always post pics on here first before buying or else buy from a reputable seller. At least I didn't pay much for them and I'll have 8-9 nice sized roasters in the freezer for the winter! Thanks to all who answered!

    no. All she said was she has been selling chickens for a few years now and she has never had a problem until now.

    Hens or Roosters...how to tell

    I did contact the seller and she informed me that she bought them all from a hatchery and if she had known they were roosters she wouldn't have sold them as hens. While I'd like to believe her because she was really very nice and helpful when I bought them, I find it very funny that out of all...

    Hens or Roosters...how to tell

    I'm not sure if they are crowing...I've been thinking of getting up early and going out to the coop to see how many are crowing. At what age do they generally start?

    Does anybody have a guess as to how old these roosters might be?

    Hens or Roosters...how to tell

    thank you for everyone who posted...I guess I got taken advantage of. I would assume the lady knew what she was selling as she told me she had about 75 birds and sold at swap meets. At least I only paid $5 bucks a piece and they should make some pretty good chicken soup! You can eat...
