    desparate chicken owner - Integrating three 4 month olds into an established flock

    I have a pen too small as well, but I only use it as a coop for locking them up at night. If you do this, they should stop the fighting.

    How do I deal with my rooster?

    It sounds like in your current situation you don't need a rooster. A rooster is going to do what he does best. Be a rooster! See if someone will trade you a hen for him. You never know

    That's why I don't feed it. Mine free range and get a little scratch every 3 days or so. They seem happy too

    Newbie losing chickens :(

    Newbie losing chickens :(

    I can't use it when it's freezing, so I can ONLY use it about 350 days of the year. It don't stay cold very long at all here. Now you definitely can use a aquarium heater, AND wrap your hose or pipes if you need to.

    I made a waterer out of a Home Depot bucket and a low profile toilet ballcock. [/IMG] you can cut a 3x3 square hole about a half inch above the water level line. They CANNOT poop in it
