    Official BYC Poll: Who’s Your Worst Chicken Predator of All Time?

    It really depends on your set up.. your coop design. If you free range is another factor. Depends what you do as to what animals would be the worst predator.

    Pullet/hen never laying?..

    They do free range some. But even locked up she dont lay. There isnt that good of hiding places where they free range that I wouldn't have found it by now.

    how much room do I need in my coop for my chickens?

    You can never have enough space. 24sqf is small thats less than 5x5ft. I keep 10 to 11 birds in 10x10 coops. They get along real well though. Then they free range most days.... thats the big factor. If they dont free range you need a much bigger coop and run.

    Rooster hasn't accepted new hens in 5 months... time to give up?

    Have ypu tried separating him from the flock for a few weeks by himself then reintroducing him to the hens all together? If you separate him totally no interaction, it breaks his normal patterns. Chicks are creatures of habit. It will also raise his testosterone separating him from all the...

    How best to integrate hen into new young flock?

    I like integrating new birds first by separate cages next to each other where they can see and interact through the wire... then after several weeks, let all roam together free ranging.... then they can peck each other and figure out their pecking order free range where they can all get away...

    Advice wanted, rooster placement (ish).

    If they are in the same yard to mingle still, they will have spats and hens will mix. The other rooster would still put him in his place over dominance. They gotta be totally separated.... way apart... I have 2 roosters... each different ages and have different age tribes. But they live...
