Help! I have three chickens that are great for me, but lately the have been really aggressive towards my mom. She does most of the taking care of them, and when she goes into their area, they attack her legs and even jump up to bite her arms! My dad says to kick them? If this isn't resolved...
I am hoping to allow my chickens to free range in my yard, but two of my next-door-neighbors have dogs and the street is close too. Will they stay where it is safe or will I need to shepard them everywhere they go? ( I have three young chickens)
I have heard of people using straw and pine shavings, but I have also heard to never use coder shavings. What type of bedding is best for chicks and what type is best for when they grow up?
I am still in school so I won't be there to watch them outside all day. I can't let them free range all day because most of my neighbors have dogs. Will they have trouble being cooped up a lot?
I am getting chicks very soon and need these question answered before I get them.
1: is it ok to put the coop up against our house?
2: how long will the eggs last in the fridge?
3: Should I wash the eggs?
4: will chicks like seeing people or be afraid?
5: how often should I clean my chicks'...
Hi
I am a soon-to-be new owner and want to know what type of chicken will be best for me. As of now, I am getting Production Reds. I want freindly, not broody, can survive through tough weather, and loving chickens. Are production reds right for me or is there a better choice?
I am getting chickens next week and I do NOT want roosters!!!!! I only want hens. Is there any way to tell what gender they are when they are newly born?
I have been begging for chicken for months and I finally received the ok I had been hoping for! When I get them, will they be lonely if there are only two of them? Would three be better or will it not make any difference? I need answers ASAP cause I'm hoping to get them next week...
I am a first time chick owner and my friends are dying to meet them. Is it a good or bad thing to handle chicks when they are young? I want them to be friendly when they grow up. Will they specifically remember 1 person?
