    Integrating a few new layers

    I have 7 layers in the chicken tractor right now. There was 1 younger one that I tried to introduce a few months ago but they pecked the heck out of her and there was blood everywhere so I took her out. She's completely healed now but has been by herself for a while now. I'm not currently...

    How hard is it to raise baby chicks?

    New here. And to chickens in general. I have other animals but new to chickens. I am having a dilemma. I don't really want to raise chicks because I hear it's hard and time consuming. I really wanted to buy older chickens (like 18-20weeks) so that I can just get them and they are ready to lay...
