I never thought of it that way. It's good to know that it might be a good thing after all. I really appreciate all of your help. I'll be giving it a try then. As soon as I get brave enough that is. Thanks again.

How do you think they'll handle still having two coops to deal with?

Hmm. Very interesting. 🙂 Thank you so much for the great and promising advice!

Hi all, I need some advice on if an integration of 2 small adult flocks might be possible without setting myself up for some major problems. I currently have one very large heavy duty dog run that is divided in half with each half having their own coop. The coops are both on the small size...

I have 2 ravens that have a nest a couple of hundred yards from my coop and run. I used to keep my egg gathering basket hanging on a hook outside the run to keep handy since I have 2 separate runs that I collect eggs from. The basket has a dish towel in the bottom to help protect the eggs from...

I'll check it out. Thank you! 😉

It's looking like it's probably ground squirrels. I thought it might have been ravens since I've seen them hanging around the run. Thanks so much for the reply! 😁

I didn't think so. I don't think it's the chickens because one of the eggs that were eaten was found a few feet outside the run. I was hoping it wouldn't be the ground squirrels but it seems like that might be the case. I was actually hoping it was the raven. They've been getting the neighbors...

Hi all, I have what I thought was a pretty secure run. But twice this month I've lost eggs. The first was an eaten egg in the nesting box inside the coop. I figured one of the hens ate it but haven't had any problems like that for a couple of weeks. So I come home from the store today, went to...

I also got an OverEZ and am not happy with it. We've had to adjust the rooting bar. We got a 2×4's and did almost the exact same thing as far as adapting the higher roost and building a lower one abovevthe pop door. This coop will not house 15 full size birds, IMO, and buyer really needs to...

Ok. Thanks so much! :D

Ok. Does it look normal in that picture?

They're on Nutren Naturewise layer crumbles, non-medicated. And the run is 28x8 ft. The coop is 4x5 ft. I have 5 full size hens.

Can someone please tell me what's going on with my hen? All 5 of them have been picking each others feathers but this one has this sore at the base of her tail. The others have varying degrees of baldness under their vents. They aren't itchy. Some of their feathers look like they've had the...

Hi, My chickens have been losing tail feathers under their vent for a couple of weeks now and I've observed them pecking feathers off each other. I went online and here and I read tgat it might by low protien so I upped the protein but they still look pretty messy. They look like the tips of...

Cool contest! I choose Una!

Ok. I'll do that. I usually just give them fresh water when they come out of the coop at sunup and then I head back inside. But I'll hang out tomorrow and watch them for a while. They do have room in the run but don't free range at all. Thanks again for the help.

Eggcessive, thank you so much for the great information! I went back out with the hens and was checking her and watching them interacting. She has no physical symptoms and had completely stopped sneezing. But I did see one of the other hens pecking on her face earlier when she was making the...

Hi everyone, I have a chicken that has started sneezing quite often today. I've read here that many people use Tylosin and I plan to get some as soon as I can get ahold of the vet tomorrow. I'm going to put her in an isolation run since all of the 4 other chickens that are in with her have...

That's right! I didn't think about a roost. Thanks!
