    Almost There!!

    Cochin has been sitting on her eggs for 23 days. 5 total have hatched starting 3.5 days ago, still several in the nest. She has left the nest to feed the babies and looks like she's creating a new nest out of the box (on the ground). I hear chirping in one egg and tapping in another, the rest...

    Hi All, My hen has been sitting on egg in her box in the coop for about 2 weeks now. I have made a makeshift divider out of curtains and wooden boards to give her a little extra private space within the coop. However, if the other birds wanted to, they could enter. My question is, can I just...

    Need help building a coop

    Hi, I'm building (well, my husband will be doing the building) for 4-5 chickens and I have no idea what I am doing. I thought about buying something off the rack because it would be easy and hassle free, but the reviews don't seem to justify the cost -unless I spend $500+. I already have my...

    Heat Pad Shuts Off

    Hello all, Was hoping someone could help. I've set up my MHP (yay! They love it!), went to check on chickies in the middle of the night only to find out my pad had auto shut off after 2 hours (I'm new to this). Thankfully the babies are ok! I must have woken up just a few after it shut off...

    To Medicate or Not to Medicate?

    Hi all just got new chicks and I’m so in love! My chickies are outside romping around as we speak and I worry about the bugs they may be eating out here. I’ve chosen to go more organic with non-medicated starter feed, however I’m concerned with coccidiosis (not well versed on this). Thought and...
