My back yard is enclosed with chain link fence 48" high. I would like to add electric strand or two on the outside perimator to discourage "climbers". At what level would you all recommed placing them?
Finally after a year of waiting my wyandotte has finally started laying:) bad news she is not laying in the next boxes were the other are. Should I not let them free range for a while so she hopefully will learn to lay in boxes? Thanks all in advance:):) fyi she is laying just outside coop...
Took our two extra rooms to a place by westbranch that takes in chickens and such that u don't need anymore. Wife didn't what to cull them. It was a nice place:)
I have a wyandotte pullet that is just short of a year old. Hoped she would start laying before start of this winter. Have gotten zero eggs from her so far:(:( will she ever lay? No change in comb color as a of yet. Do I just need to wait for longer daylight hours?
Hi to all:) so I have an auto door narrowed down to the ador1 or one on autochickendoor.com: just looking for input or problems you all may have had with either. Any advice will be helpful:) Thanks.
I have two wyandotte roos that will b a year old in March. They are very gentle and hate to get rid of them but have too many roos. They are free. I live in n.Michigan and will not ship.
Thanks to this site for all the advice for coop building. Had 20below this morning and no frost in coop and all 9 chickens were fine:) still worried all night though
I got my 2 red sex links and 3blacksexlinks at the same time this past April. Since early fall the 2reds are the only ones laying.is it because of the decreased amount of daylight?
I got 3 wyandotte pullets in June that I was told were hatched 1st part of March. So far no eggs yet from them:( they are all pretty much look the same two of them have pale reddish pink combs but one has gotten a deep red comb and has started crowing. Could it be another roo? I have 7other...
Just got done wrapping the run with six mill plastic. First snow of year 3in so far. I kick myself for waiting till last minute:( and the girls are not liking their first snow either all staying inside. Guess I can't blame them. Good luck to all this winter:)
I currently have two nest boxes roughly 12by15in. Are they large enough for my 2 large wyandotte to lay eggs in or should a add a larger box just for them?
