i am finding that my coop doesnt have a cross breeze which makes it quite warm. it is ventilated, but because it is a rock building it can get quite warm. how do i cool it off since fans are a no no for chickens?
this morning when i opened my coop, there was a chick missing. it was 13wks old. there were a few feathers on the bottom of the coop, but nothing else. the rest of the babies and my four month old silkie were all fine. we thoroughly checked the coop and we found a slit about 1 1/2 inch high...
these are some pics to help with the identity of my babies..the ones that were upposed to be hens and are turning out to be roos!
this is my blue silkie that was thrown out of a truck with his brother on the expressway...
i have what TSC called bantams. i was also told i had six hens...i think so far four are roos. the puffy headed black one is what? any clue on the others? i think you can click to enlarge the image.
