    Picked on chicken

    We have a 25 week old hen that was picked on until she bled by her comb. We seperated her from the other 5. But do we keep them seperate at night? We have a seperate coop she's in now. She stopped bleeding, so back with the others? Or away for the night? Thanks

    How can I tell my leghorns apart?

    My 6 leghorns are about 17 weeks old and looking like twins, or sextuplets. How do i go about knowing who is who? Kids have names for each and want to keep them straight. Are leg tags good? Or do they peck at them all day? Thanks much!

    First ever eggs!

    We got our 6 leghorn chicks 16 weeks ago tomorrow and today my wife and I are happy to say we found 2 eggs today (in the run)! Kids were beyond excited since this is our first time having chickens. I do believe they tasted a bit better than our neighbors eggs.

    Riots....

    My heart goes out to all those affected by the violence across America in the past week. Two wrongs do not make a right. Be kind to one another, lift up your fellow man.

    Insulated walls??

    I am building a coop now that will be about 4 foot by 5 foot with a 8 foot by 8 foot run, for 6 chickens. They will free range during the day when we are at home. We live in Wisconsin where sometimes it gets to 20 to 30 Fahrenheit below at night in winter. But mostly around 0 most of the time...

    Little runt in group of 20

    We have a little lethargic chick who is noticeable smaller than the other 19, they are about a week old. It just sits and doesn't do much. We put it away from the others for a bit so it does not get crushed. And gave it its own water and food. It will eat and drink so i guess thats good...

    Hi everyone

    I am new to the chicken family, we just got 20 chicks with the help of our experienced friends. We have a nice heated garage to raise them until they are ready to run in our backyard. I'm looking to learn as much as possible about raising them here in Wisconsin.
