    Adding new chickens (8 wks) to flock (also 8 wks)

    Hello, we bought 6 chicks (3 buff orpingtons, 2 Speckled sussexes, and 1 black Australorp) and they are now 8 weeks old. I have the opportunity to add a polish and silkie, both 9 weeks old. Do I need to introduce them gradually? Or since they are all young can you just add them in? Thank you!

    What color should I paint my coop?

    Silly question, but what color would you paint the coop? It's going to be seen right as you pull up into our parking area, so I'd like it to go with our home in some way. I'd appreciate all suggestions! I need to paint the coop itself as well as the metal roof!

    CHUNNELS?!? (AKA chicken tunnels)

    Hello, I posted yesterday about keeping free range chickens out of a play area. The consensus was... I can't. Now I'm onto to CHUNNELS. This seems like it could be a great alternative, but I have a couple questions from folks who have them. 1) How do you clean them? Or do you not need to? Our...

    Keeping Chickens Away From Child's Play Area

    We are in the process of building a coop for 6 chickens. We plan to let them free range much of the day in our large fenced (split rail) yard. It was brought to my attention that the chickens may want to spend a bunch of time in my daughter's play area and will poop all over it. Is there...
