    Introducing new birds to old...any ideas?

    Nice setup. All is well. Let them loose. They have space to move. They have had time separated to get used to each other thru wire. It will be fine. That chasing business should get tiresome soon. If not, isolate the perp for a week. In short, I agree completely with cavemanrich. The...

    Some guy tried to tell me my roosters would fight to the death...

    "Roosters will always fight to the death." I wonder where this notion comes from? I would have said, "Only trapped roosters fight to the death." Or perhaps, "Any rooster who can get away, will live to fight another day." Given a chance, a rooster will run for it, save his strength, and try...

    Why do all our hens want to use the same nesting box?

    The domestic chicken was developed from the Jungle Fowl. The JF had a rooster and an alpha female, along with several other females, perhaps three or four tops. The alpha female was in charge of the nest, and did the brooding and raising of chicks. All of the females laid eggs in her nest. The...

I do not let mean roosters mount. They have to go. I find other homes for them, or they meet Mr. Knife and...

    Stray chicken. What do I do?, and it’s been SO hot.

    I have read that feeding plain crushed egg shells to chickens may cause them to peck at, break, and eat eggs out of the nest. Consequently, according to this authority, one should always boil or bake egg shells to change the smell, then crush them up well before adding them into food, never...
