What would you put on wood floor in large garden shed (like a Tuff shed)?
I have 2 wooden floored coops--one has shavings over the wood, the other has sand. Both work just fine.- SueT

Worst chicken breed
I'll never get another Rhode Island Red due to a vicious bully hen, who was also a hard to break compulsive broody. (And reading numerous negative reports of others' RIR's)- SueT

Help! Hens Not Laying
Yes, I've had Wyandottes, they take a break in the winter as well. There are production breeds that will lay all winter, but they don't live as long....- SueT

Help! Hens Not Laying
It's the length of day. Mine all have stopped laying now, and will resume in the spring when the days start to get longer.- SueT

Really EXCESSIVE CROWING
Roosters don't just crow in the morning. You know that, right? You've had roosters before to compare to? Ours pretty much crow all day and half the night, and I never considered them abnormal....- SueT

Hen not letting chicks roost at night
She has weaned her chicks! Mine usually wean theirs by 6 weeks! They're on their own... Sometimes, if a chicken won't share the roost, it helps to improvise roost dividers. Some like their privacy....- SueT

Really EXCESSIVE CROWING
Roosters do crow all day and often during the night. All the ones I've ever had do. Not sure if what you consider excessive may be completely normal....- SueT

Chicken waterer
There is a heated nipple waterer available. I've used this one for the past 2 years. It will stay unfrozen in below zero temps. I put it away after winter and get out the non heated ones.- SueT

Do I have to train chicks to drink?
I prefer nipple waterers for new chicks. They pick it up really fast. Just keep tapping on the nipples. Once one learns it the others will follow... And you won't have to deal with dirty water at all!- SueT
