    Roosting

    I've used the search feature with no luck. All of a sudden all of our chickens want to lay on the coop floor instead of roosting. I'm not too worried about it, just curious about it. No other weird behaviors besides they come out of the coop in the middle of the night for no reason.

    Light in coop

    I added a light to my coop after my chickens stopped laying. The light has been in there for about 10 days and left on a few hours before dawn and 2 hours after dusk. How long does it take for them start laying again?

    I need a processor in Indiana

    About 3 weeks ago we got 30 Cornish X chicks with the plan to process them at home. Now no one in my family (besides me) wants to process them. I don't want to do 30 of them by myself nor do I have the time. Does anyone know a place that processes in central Indiana? I have called a few places...

    Breed?

    This is by far our favorite hen. Just curious what breed she is. Thanks. Her feet are feathered and lately she has been getting a "polish-like" tophat. She has been laying for a few months now. She has a purple face.

    Heart attack

    I've been wondering this for a couple weeks. Can you still process and eat birds that die of heart attack or broken legs if they are big enough? Just something that has had me thinking. I am thinking of getting me first flock of meat birds late August/ Early September. Thanks

    Backyard plan

    My wife and I had this idea and I was wondering if it would work. As you can see we have our coop and run setup. Would it work having 2 more coops and have all the runs connected? Does anyone have a similar setup and will the chickens go to the same coop every night? Is it a good thing to give...

    Sevin Dust, how young?

    I treated my flock for lice after our silkies were covered with them. I treated them all with Sevin dust besides a 3-4 week old chick. I was wondering if she was too young for it. Momma hen had lice and the chick sleeps under her wing so I figured she has it too. Same train of thought, that...

    The Pullet Palace... DONE!!!!!!

    Here is the start of our coop. I put it on stilts today and I made it a little too high and have to build a deck around it to get to the nesting boxes. I also plan on making the run this week if weather permits. I'm trying to find a poop tray with no luck. We have 15 chicks, which I know...
