    Keeping Multiple Roosters

    I would like to have several different breeds and be able to produce purebred offspring; consequently, I need to keep a few different roosters, but how do I manage the roosters? Do I keep them in with just that rooster's hens all the time? Can I keep a mixed flock of hens and only put the...

    I've been waiting and waiting and finally this morning I found an egg in my Peep House where I keep my Silkies and Polands. Pretty sure it's a Silkie egg since it's pretty small ... but it's possible that it's from one of my Poland hens. What colour eggs to Silkies lay?

    Neurological Issue?

    I have a six week old Silkie peep who just started exhibiting some weird motor issues. She can walk around just fine and do all the normal things chicks do, but when she stands and looks at me head on her head falls to the left as if she is having trouble holding it up. It kind of bobs up and...

    Coop Q

    Why are most chicken coops built off the ground? I used an old shed for my hen house, but it needs to be rebuilt soon so I've been looking at coop designs, and I just can't figure out why everyone builds 'em above ground.
