    Not sleeping in coop

    I have two 4yr old hens and six 3 month old chicks. They seem to get along well enough. My new babies will use the coop during the day but not at night.

    FOREVER LONG BROODY MAMA

    Thank you! It kills me just to leave her in the cage just for a day :( but I will try this. It's hot here now and very humid, I keep the cage 3/4 shaded but I worry she needs to get out and be a normal chicken. The life of a chicken momma LOL

    Losing their feathers

    I will try and find out about the feathers, unless I catch them in a nesting box they are difficult to catch LOL. I bought recommended grains at the feed store. I store them in a plastic tub so I do not have a label but will stop and take a look this week. I appreciate your input :)
