    My chickens are breaking off their roost and dragging it into their feeder!

    My chickens started dragging their roost out of their coop and into their feeder. The roost is not screwed in- it's hooked onto the side of the coop. I just don't understand how and why a chicken would do that. It isn't a problem, I just want to know what my chickens are up to. Any...

    Where do I get my chickens?

    I've been searching around on the internet and I can't find a chicken provider suitable for me. My local feed store doesn't have the breeds I want and everything on the internet sells chicks only. I want ready-to-lay hens but nothing has them, only chicks. Also, a lot of online providers make a...
