    Gotchya, first time with chicks in about 7 years lol, my hens now are aging out of laying. There is a fan i can turn on out there when they use the grill and aim it at the door. Unfortunately we cant leave the back porch door completely open because of stray cats that try to get on the porch...

    Baby chick set up question

    Ok so I know about Teflon poisoning, and im paranoid about it lol. The only place I can put the baby chicks is on the enclosed back porch, which is also where the propane griddle/grill is. If the grill got cooked on would it make the chicks sick? I know it's not an ideal place to put then but...

    Two broody hens

    That was the plan with the new coop, sorry for the misunderstanding, this was just a temporary set up with long-term plan of merging. We have been collecting pallets for almost two years now and have just about enough to build it. There is more than one nesting box in both coops , but they only...

    Two broody hens

    What would be the safest way to break her ? The run doesn't have a roof on it and the coop isn't big enough for a dog crate

    Two broody hens

    Remove the fertilized eggs I put in there from the brahmas or the unfertilized eggs they keep laying, and let them wait it out? I don't think they're fighting over them

    Is a Brahma rooster okay to put with a mixed flock?

    Hi sorry for the late reply I just seen this, I found some buff and lavender orphington crosses, I haven't put them in there yet, they're in a separate run right beside them, I have a small field fence rolled out for them to free range ( about like a dog play pen ) because I can't fully let them...

    Buff/ lavender Orpington cross hen or roo?

    Absolutely! I'm not in a rush for eggs, I'm fine with next spring lol. Just out of curiosity, because of something someone I know told me, would it be better to re-home my brahma roo and keep this roo? I don't want to cause I got attached to my brahma, I've had them about half a year. He's huge...

    Buff/ lavender Orpington cross hen or roo?

    They're very beautiful, I've never seen chickens with the kind of markings they got! When the light hits them a certain way it's like a blue/black reflection with the brown markings!

    Buff/ lavender Orpington cross hen or roo?

    I have a flock of 4 brahmas, 3 hens and a roo literally right next to them, with a half foot gap between the runs. I dont know if that could be why it isn't crowin?

    Buff/ lavender Orpington cross hen or roo?

    Thanks a bunch!! I haven't heard any crowing but it is growing a lot quicker than the others and the tails pointed downwards, and the combs much bigger! I just wanted to get another opinion before I contacted them!
