    Integrating 4 new Hens---How long before you think they'll be accepted

    We had a hard time getting the 4 new hens introduced to an established flock of 13 hens & 1 Roo, so we have them separated in their coop by a fence.

    Update- What is going on with my hens???? Please help

    I noticed one out of the 4 hens has bloody poop. Last night I started them on Vitamins & Electrolytes. They are acting normal though today, but this has me very concerned. I've been reading about symptoms, and am hoping they aren't coming down with Coccidiosis. What type of meds do y'all...

    A couple of questions about my RIR Roo's

    Should I think about separating the 5 Roo's with them being 10 & 12 weeks old? They were raised together but should I be concerned right now about them going after each other? I'm concerned about what's going to happen when the first one crows. Any and all suggestions are very much appreciated...

    If y'all have pics of your Hens & Roos....Would someone post pics of them, please? As I said in another post, we believe we have 5 Roos, but it's not wrote in stone. No Crowing yet, so there's still hope we have a few Hens out of the bunch. I've read that some clues to determine if they're...
