    Inter-chicken aggression? Also: hen trying to crow?

    ...the newbies were all huddled in a corner as far from the Sussex as they could get, and they weren't moving. The reason why became obvious when one *did* move- the Sussex came tearing over to beat the "offending" hen down- from across the 17 foot pen, mind you. After that happened a few times...

    Hannalices Chicken Coop

    ...the classic (and available in the mistint bin!) red with white trim. Opened up the inside, added the feeder and waterer I've been looking for *forever*, salvaged the roost and added a poop board, and hidden under the shavings is the linoleum floor. The new window that still needs a...

    Coyote proofing pen

    Electric fence would be my suggestion. When I was out in CA, I lost all 8 of my thanksgiving turkeys to coyotes. They broke through cedar privacy fencing and pried up the chain link on the dog run I was using to hold the birds. I don't think you can go overboard when it comes to coyotes

    CHICKEN SWAPS OF NH SWAP LISTINGS

    Boo for migraines! I was so looking forward to the swap today, but I went back to bed at 8:30 with a whopper of a migraine, and woke up 10 minutes ago! Takes about an hour to get to Walpole from here, so I won't be making it. Hope everyone had a good time and that it didn't pour too badly!

    Serious, serious case of coop envy here. AWESOME job! (This got edited down from OHMYGAWD! I WANT your chicken coop!!) Thought the first statement was a little more mature.

    Question aboutt bedding

    I don't see a problem- for the most part, the pellets are too big for them to eat, I've used them in the past and didn't have an issue. Just watch them, make sure they're not eating them, but you should be good.

    Wire Brooder Vs Box Brooder Pros and Cons.

    I've done both- enclosed box w/ floor and wire cage. With the wire cage, you're going to need more heat, because the wire holds absolutely nothing in. I brooded my chicks in a wire cage in a tack room in a CA spring, so heat wasn't that big a deal. You're also going to need a place where they...

    I Need Help!!!!! Rescued Chicks In Bad Shape.... UPDATE!!

    I swear by Nutri-Drench for debilitated animals- Agway usually carries it. The stuff helped me save a weak pair of newborn goat kids years ago, it's a mixture of molasses and vitamin supplements. You'll need the stuff labeled for poultry- you can add it to their water, or give it directly- I...

    New Hampshire!

    Hey all! Checking in from VT, actually, but I'm right on the border with NH, Brattleboro area. Glad to see some locals! I've got 8 new(ish) chicks, four in the brooder, and four that I just put outside (it's certainly been hot enough!) I am LOVING the Cochins I just bought on Saturday, and...

    Sneaking chicks under a broody hen

    A friend's broody took 3 week old chicks last year- we moved the babies out to her barn (in a separate stall) and Mama Cochin was *desperate* to get in with them, so they let her in, and the rest is history. It's certainly worth a try!

    Can I be the nervous "parent" now?

    I just tossed my girls out today too... I'm sure everyone will be just fine!

    Coop Re-Boot

    My coop makeover is just about done! After using my coop for about a year, I found out a lot of what I wanted to change, namely an extra window and to open the whole thing up, no more duplex. Before: Unpainted, moved into just before it was actually finished last year, then never got...
