    Hoop Coop Sleeping Box Ideas Needed

    I'm moving my birds from one place to another and I have built two hoop coops. In their old coop they had a nice big coop to go into every night and it had the sleeping roost and the nest boxes inside. In the hoop coop I plan to use milk crates for nest boxes, but I'm kind of drawing a blank as...

    What to feed day old chicks in a pinch

    My chicks came and I just realized that THE DOG ate all the chick starter feed. What can I give them when I pick them up from the PO (in 15 minutes) before the feed store opens and I get a new bag of chick feed? Cooked egg yokes maybe? Thank you for your help!!

    Can you tell the age of a chicken?

    If you got a grown adult hen is there any way to tell how old she really is? And is it 'normal' for an old bird to start laying eggs with no shell? I have all the extra oyster shells available to them and yet I have 1 chicken who is laying eggs with no shells. I'm not sure which one it is so...

    Chickens raiding the compost pile

    Well they just love it!! Is it bad for them to be rooting around in there? Our compost pile is pallets screwed together like a box with the front a little lower. We can't move it and can't move the chickens. We would have to just rake it down and not have one....so is it OK for them to have...

    Blind Chick.

    No, I'm not going to cull her ( wouldn't have the slightest idea of how to do that anyhow.). My question is for anyone who had dealt with a blind chickie. Will she eventually learn to eat on her own? And if so, how did you go about that? Poor little thing.
