The 2 hens have not spent the night with the newcomers yet. The newcomers have been here a few nights, in their own coop, right next to the other coop, but they cant see them in there. just when everyone is in the runs, can they see each other.
Im in the process of introducing a rooster (Dinner) and a hen (Foxy Brown) who have been raised together (about 15 weeks old) to my 2 existing hens (Popcorn and Praline, about 22 weeks, I raised from chicks). The hens are about the same size, but the roo is bigger obviously. Ive been letting...
Hi I am interested. I just lost 4 of my 6, 20 week old hens to a weasel or racoon. I need to re inforce my coop over this weekend/week and make sure it is safe, but i can pick up the chickens next weekend.
I have a ~48 sqft coop with a ~72 sqft run.
So I whitewashed the inside of tge barn over a week ago. it dried nicely. but i went out early this morning and the walls looked like they were in the middle od drying. so obviously there was condensation accumulating in there! i had left the door open overnight. do i just need more ventilation?
