    I believe I am going to have trouble adding my dozen chicks to the other "older" six chicks... A smaller chick got out of the brooder (I guess) yesterday.

    WHAT IS THIS??

    Can anyone tell what this might be? It is not the best pic, however, it resembles a cut or lil tear-like wound. I have searched my health handbook on chickens and this website and have come up with nothing close to concrete as to what it might be..it is on both feet

    Fighting in the corner??? WHY???

    Since putting our chicks into the coop (out of the brooder), every morning I go out to check on them I have found poo in the front corner. I found it strange, but just thought they likened that place to "go". Went out to the coop last night at dusk (to check on the new chicks), only to find my...

    Will these nesting box ledges be mistaken for a roost?

    After putting up these ledges for easier access into the nesting boxes, I am having second thoughts to whether they will try to use these as a roost?? The corner of the platform to the right of nesting boxes in the picture is the poop shelf and above, of course, the intended roosts? If I take...

    PICTURE OF BARN "STOOP"

    Does anyone have an image of a "stoop" or short roof that is attached to the side of a barn/shed...I am wanting to hang my garden tools on the exterior back wall of the chicken coop. I am looking for a "go-by" to construct a covering so the tools, ladders, etc are not directly exposed to the...
