    Roosting in Run not Coop

    My five 19 week old chickens have been outside in their coop now for 3 and a half months and at dusk they always go in their coop and roost by themselves. Two weeks ago we added a roost in their run so that the girls can get a break from the maturing rooster and it gives them something else to...

    Wild Turkey Hanging Around Chicken Coop

    I have 5 chickens that stay in their coop and run all day and night. A young, male wild turkey about a year old has been hanging around the coop/run for at least 5 days now and counting. He is friendly and I can walk up to him and get within a foot or two away from him and he doesn't care. He...

    How and When to Separate Rooster

    I have 4 hens and 1 rooster and they're all 4 months old. The rooster is starting to try to mate with two of them and those two hens are scared of him and they curl up in the corner and hide their heads. They scream when he chases them and he bites them and the one hen's head was bloody...

    11 Week Old Chick Just Passed Away

    My 11 week old Black Australorp hen just passed away on Monday night and I can't figure out why. :( I only had 6 chicks and raised them since a week old, so I'm pretty upset. She was my favorite out of the bunch and she was so sweet. She didn't show any signs of being sick that I could tell...

    Vent Open at Night?

    We bought our chicken coop a week ago and moved our chicks into it on the same day. The coop has a vent in the back with a wire over it that has a door to open it and lock it and also a sliding window in the front with normal window screen. I'm a little too nervous to leave the window open...

    How long is Weed & Feed hazardous to chickens?

    My father in law fertilized our entire property on Saturday morning with Scott's Weed & Feed granular fertilizer and I'm so worried about it harming my 7 week old chicks. I didn't know he was going to do the entire 6 acres, so I wasn't able to warn him or tell him ahead of time where to not put...

    Apple Cider Vinegar & Probiotic Supplement in Water

    I'm new to raising chicks and mine are 7 weeks old now. I am just hearing about adding apple cider vinegar to water now. I give my chicks some Sav-a-Chick powered probiotics from Tractor Supply and mix it in with their water each time. So it is ok to mix the probiotic powder and the ACV both in...

    Girl or Boy??

    I'm new to raising chickens and I bought 6 chicks from my local farm store in PA. I was told all 6 of them were pullets, but when I posted a photo of her yesterday, a few people seemed to think she may be a roo. I'm really hoping she's a girl. "She" is a 7 week old Silver Laced Wyandotte. I...
