About one week ago I noticed that one of my EE hen's had started getting lost from the flock. I checked her out and one of her eyes was a little red and puffy. I brought her in the basement and I noticed she could not find her water or the food.
Only when I would tap at the bowl would she...

I am very new to all the ways to keep you coop clean. So I read that DE was so good. I used it all over my coop.
Now that I have been learning more I want to try the deep litter method.
My questions is do I have to remove all the DE that I already put down in my coop to start the deep litter...
My oldest chickens are 12 weeks old the youngest is 8 weeks old. When is it okay to start letting them out to forage. Then how do you get them to go back in to the coop ?
I am a little timid on letting them out , I don't want to be chasing 29 chickens around three and half acres of property...
I have 13 EE that are 8 weeks old. This morning my husband and I got to witness our first fight in the coop. It was pretty intense.
I have four different breeds in the coop. But the EE are by far the more aggressive of the breeds.

We built a coop 24 x 12 and we weren't able to finish getting the roost up at first. Due to my husband's job. So I put up one of the roost poles across the coop about 10 inches off the floor. The Chicks had boxes and tote's to sleep in with pine shavings. I still had a light on them due to the...
I posted pictures the other day . Got two different answer's . I would like some input from someone who has either of these breeds . H/she has four toes. Flighty little thing. Hangs out with the Giants. Makes noise all the time.
This is Drumstick, I think it might be a rooster not sure , all the other chicks have all of their feathers. I put them in the coop already, I kept Drumstick and this other chick not named yet together till he or she grows all the feathers in. They are going on 7 weeks old.
Is this normal ?

Oatmeal , applesauce.
They don't like anything right now except their feed.
Any suggestion's.?
My chicks are 5,6,7,and 9 weeks.
