    winter concerns..

    I am concerned. I live up in NY, and winter is on its way. How should I provide for my roosters? I have 2; a RI red and a white. They are inseperable. Now, they spend their nights in the barn (unheated, 2-horse stall barn.) I know that obviously I need something to keep their water thawed out...

    hay?

    I have alfalfa hay here for the horses. Would the roos eat it is I tossed some in with them? I read that they eat plants and greenery and am wondering if they would like this.. there is so much to learn! Another thing: I know that they like to scratch around for their feed. I have a bird feeder...

    wheat straw as substrate/bedding?

    I keep my 2 roos in a horse stall with a flat concrete floor. It has good drainage.. now, is wheat straw a good bedding for them? It is not dusy and I use it for the horses.

    can they fly that well?

    I know that chix can basically hover and jump/fly up short distances. How well can your basic larger types fly? (meaning, like my rooster in my avatar?) I know that our bantam hen can fly into tall trees! Can these bigsters fly that high/well?

    New roosters.. pics! (starter chickens..)

    Here they are! We were going to get some more from the city that were rescues, but the neighbor ended up eating all of them.. kinda scary when you consider the drugs they give those things.. Anyway, here goes! These boys were owned by my friend for awhile now and are actually inserperable. They...

    How bad is it :)

    I made this little coop last week, before doing much research. I thought that I needed something right away, but the chickens were not brought home yet. I know that it needs reinforcement to keep out predators and snakes.. what I am thinking, is to build something better and just use this as a...

    DuMor laying-hen feed?

    This is the feed I plan on using. It says that it is 16% on the bag (does this mean protein, as it does with horse feed?) How is this feed? Just wondering if anyone uses it.
