    Should I evict?

    I thought the same thing as well. The big girls did bully them around quite a bit. That is changing though and one of the littles is quickly moving up the pecking order ranks. I was thinking of recreating a box for them but think instead I make make them some kind of chicken jungle gym. That...

    Pullet chittering at night?

    I cant help with the breed but we had a chick that chirped in her sleep. She loved to be held and I would pet her neck. She would fall asleep and chirp away.

    Are chickens natural relaxers, or is it just me? Lol

    That is funny! I have one who earned her name "Rebel in a Red Dress". Even as a chick she would take the opportunity to escape the brooder to look around. I have chased her around the garage, the back yard and the run! Tonight I was giving them treats before bed and the littles (10 weeks...

    My mid August hens are in no hurry to lay either. I figured I wouldnt get eggs until spring. Have you added light to the coop? That may help.

    The coop is finally done!

    The roost isnt in yet in this photo. To the right is 2 nest boxes. Left is the poop tray with the roost. In the center is the hole down to the ramp with a box built around it. That is quite the experiment honestly. We will see if it actually works. If not we cover up that hole, cut one in the...

    Question about my Ventilation

    I havent built the roof yet sonit can be whatever size I want it to be. I will put in as much overhang as I can on it without blocking the greenhouse door.

    Question about my Ventilation

    I did the math wrong. There is 45 sq ft in the actual run amd an additional 20 under the coop itself. In the next few months they will be getting about 100 more sq ft of run as I build my raised beds. They will get to play underneath them.
