We got these guys on Easter and they're outgrowing their space.
Is it too soon to put them in the coop with the rooster? It's hot out during the day...60s at night.
We've lost 4 chickens today and a 5th is dying. :( we picked up 2 house cats on Sunday night. Would the cat kill the chickens? 2 hens and 2 roos...dead one roo mia... middle of the day attack. Our birds free range during the day. We built a "pen" but silly us...they fly out so they free range...
It was messy to say the least. We need a sharper knife for starters. Then accuracy on the artery. Cutting was awful because we didn't get the main vein right away.
Glad I read about the cone thing. That was very helpful! We used a milk jug.
Our chicken was a disappointing 2 lbs 13 oz all...
Hi everyone!
I have just begun keeping chickens. We currently have 12 roosters and 2 hens. They were free and are about 6 months old. We plan to butcher most of the roosters...we have too many! My husband I are novices so I'm sure we'll make a few mistakes.
This is our 1st attempt at a coop...
