    roost question

    I HOPE im in the right section. If not im sorry. So i do have a roost built and they all use it except 2. I have a smaller silkie pullet who cant reach it yet and a silkie cockerel who has a birth defected foot. His foot makes him unable to roost with the others. I dont mind for now because he...

    Egg laying issues

    So my EE Dusty laid wonky eggs for about a week or 2 (as in oblong), which i dont mind A+ for effort.

    I.S.O. Jersey Giant (md)

    Preferably located in Md so i can pick up. If not will you/do you know a breeder that will only ship 1? I literally have a mixture and like it that way. Sadly 1 hen passed away and we are hoping for a Jersey Giant this time. Any leads on breeders appreciated.

    Chicken unexplained/unexpected death

    Chicken attitude problems

    So a little bit of back story.. We started with 4 babies and then got 1 hen and 3 more straight run babies. Now we added 3 more hens (roughly a month ago). Well we assumed the pecking order would calm down all the girls know their place. Well our original hen (Big momma) is at the top of the...

    nesting box & perch questions

    So we turned our 16ft by 8ft shed (about 7 feet tall) into a coop. We are putting 3 different doors with a moveable run to give them enclosed access to 3 areas at different times. We figured moving the run one time a week will be fine. Other than that they will free range for a limited time (2-4...
