    Roaches

    How to get rid of roaches in chicken coop? Didn't realize I had them until I went out last night to check on eggs, and they were everywhere. I haven't seen them during the day.

    My silky hen is bloody and has 4-5 eggs under her. Will she stay warm enough to incubate her eggs? Its in the 30's tonight. She just started yesterday. Her house has plastic around it and she's in a crate with hay.

    laying hens

    A couple of my hens have started laying their eggs on the ground instead of the nest boxes. What could be the problem? There is mosquitoes in their house and I've wondered if it could be hot?

    Is there a preventative treatment for mites on baby chicks? I was told spray with vinegar mixture.

    As a new member to BYC and chicken keeper, I have lots of questions. I have found this site very helpful. I have 5 hens and a rooster. Its a mixed flock. I want to get some silkies. Do silkies have to be kept separated from tbe bigger flock?
