My chicks are fully feathered and 7 weeks old. Are they ready to go in the coop at night, The temps tonight will be around 50. I have a total of 11 chicks.
I have a broody silkie that has been sitting for 3 days. When I found her sitting I took her egg and placed 2 EE eggs under her. The next day she had kicked the green one out and kept the pink one. I put another pink one under her and she has been fine with it. Now my question if I put 2 black...
Here are some pics of the new coop I built for ou new silkies. The coop is 3X3 and the run is 12X3 and 2 feet tall. I plan on getting 2 more hens is this enough space for that?
I bought 4 easter eggers from a guy about a month ago. Now I have decided I want 2 Barred rocks from the same guy. Do I need to keep them seperate or can I just put them together. He had them all in the same pen when I got the EE.
Is it ok to use apple cider vinegar if you have the nipple drinkers? I thought I read were you couldn't use it with metal waterers and the nipples have a metal pin in them.
I saw a post were someone made a waterer out of a 5 gallon water bottle and a 5 gallon bucket. The water bottle fits inside the bucket upside down. I tried the search feature for the last 2 days and cant find it.
