    Heat lamp???

    Thanks for all the tips. My brooder is in my house. I'm not ready to put them out its way to cold here, plus my hens outside don't use a heat lamp, I do the deep litter method. My chicks seem to stay under the heat lamp but sometimes they like to cool down so they go to the other side of the...

    Heat lamp???

    Hello brought home my chicks. They seem very happy and know what to do. But I'm curious, at night do I keep the heat lamp on??? I go in there and they are sleeping but wake easy. Do they need dark to sleep?

    I don't understand why you asked for advice. The community has given you their experience and your not listening to any of it. I hope your hens do ok. It's going to be a tough life if you put 5 girls in that coop. Egg production will be low, as well as the health & happiness of your girls will...

    Straw or shavings?

    I am completely new to owning chickens but am planning for the future.

    All my girls lay everyday, no rooster here! As for space they say 4 square feet for each girl in the coop & 10 square ft a bird for outdoor space. When I made my run I used wire cloth. It's strong & hard for rodents to get through. I don't have foxes here but if you do the research you'll...

    Hello I started out with 4 girls in a coop that was about the same size. But I started noticing some loss of feathers. It just wasn't enough room for them. I recently took my small coop (cost me 600) and used all its parts to turn my shed into a coop. I have 8 girls now so I needed extra...

    Got my girls more space!

    I was told she's an Amuracana (? Spelling ?) she lays a green egg. Her sisters lay green & blue-green eggs. The 3 that I have were given to me by a neighbor when she had to move due to heath problems.

    Got my girls more space!

    Thanks I've been thinking of doing that. I added 3 new nesting boxes they've been using them all.

    And I added a cabinet that has storage, cleaning supplies, treats, my chicken first aid kit, & bedding for the nesting boxes.

    Got my girls more space!

    Best idea was getting the food off the ground, and making sure it was unmovable. No more tipping over the food!
