    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    I think I started to comment on: And got distracted while typing. :smack:th you are right, I did not get the point. Most prefab coops are not what the chickens and caretakers need/want. The ‘great’ ideas of the manufacturers in general are; - The people who buy coops only have bantams. & -...

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    Chicken keeping is different for everyone. Depends on the owner, the chickens size, temperament, the rodents, predators, climate and probably a lot more. In general the prefab coops (plastic and wood) don't have an adequate size, ventilation and proper roosts. Therefore a coop (or shed) that...

    New on the block

    My chickens do not eat much

    I’d like to see some photo’s too. And do you know the breed? What kind of feeder do you use?. Anti-spilling feeders with pellets, or deep bowls with crumble prevent a lot of spilling. Adding water to the left over in the bowl and add a little fresh crumble feed makes a good mash they like and...

    Please help. Hen went broody. Chaos ensued.

    Yes, if you can not separate your broody from the others, you definitely need to mark the eggs and remove all the new eggs every day. This is okay if there is not too much disturbance. Adding another nest with fake eggs might help to encourage the other hens to lay elsewhere. Some people...

    Nothing to be ashamed of imho. But please do look for info, how to prevent a red mite infestation, before winter comes to an end. These bastards thrive in our climate with mild winters and warm humid summers.

    Agree on this part,…. at someone else his property. It’s not something I want for myself. Hadn’t really thought about the other points (breeders /heritage breed). Edited a little bc I was to eager to respond.

    Question of the Day - Tuesday, October 14th, 2025

    I didn’t have a clue what it was. Google translate is useless. We say “lambrisering” the English word is wainscoting. I have no general opinion.
