    Will mom reintroduce her babies to the flock?

    I had three chicks hatch yesterday. I separated them from the flock because my nests sit off the ground and if the babies hatched in the nest the would have no access to food and water and if they fell out they could get hurt. So I took mom and eggs to our hot tub room and put them in a very...

    Heat related death and new housing question

    Well, I let them out in the afternoon (it rained so it was only about 85) they stayed in the coop last night, then when it was about 92 I brought them in. They promptly laid. I guess I did something right, however, my house smells like a barnyard (just like hay now) and they are very vocal.

    Heat related death and new housing question

    Quote: well the second two died under some bushes. I think our coop is great for ventilation. It has a bid door, a window and the beams are open under the roof. It's just flat too hot. They get to run the whole 2 acres during the day and are only in the run and coop at night.
