    Day 21 & no chicks yet

    Started raising chickens this past summer. One of my Red sex link hens went broody so I decided to buy some fertilized Ameraucana eggs & let her do her thing! It's day 21 and no chicks yet. Could there be something wrong or am I too impatient? What should I do? Thank you!! :/

    How much harm did I cause by feeding layer pellets to my young pullets?

    Portable (Tractor) or Permanent?

    Its been 18 months at my new place and I still don't have chickens. I just can't decide on getting a portable (Tractor) style coop or a permanent one. Live in an area with coyotes, hawks, loose dogs etc...and I'm afraid a portable will not be safe enough. Or are they safe enough? Also...

    Newbie question

    Haven't gotten my chickens yet...still looking for coop. I saw one yesterday (tractor style) that I am very interested in but it does not have a screened bottom....can I add wire to bottom? Will this hurt the chickens? Worried something can get under the coop. Thank you for your help.
