    chicken coop problems

    Hello! My hens have always gone to bed by themselves, however; last week I cleaned their coop and now they sit on top of it until I put them away. I used newspaper to line the bottom and the same hay and shavings, so I don't understand what their problem is. It's starting to get cold here and...

    What to put in the hen house.

    When my hens go into their coop for the night, do I need to put food and water in there with them? It seems like they don't touch it until I let them out in the morning.

    Unfriendly rooster with his hens

    About 3 weeks ago, I got two hens for my 4 month old rooster. I set up an area connecting to his for them to get used to eachother. The problem is, he still is trying to hurt them and attacks them when they're together. I have a great chicken coop area with 6 ft fencing to prevent escapes...

    Any info would be appreciated!

    If anyone could help me with any information on Rodgers, I would really appreciate it! Background is that I was leaving a pet and farm store and they had 4 roosters that had to be gone that same day! I took all of them in hopes of finding homes, and ended up keeping one. He is officially part...

    First night outside

    So, I think I am going to let my big boy, Rodgers, sleep in his new home tonight. I am really nervous about him being outside, but I think it's warm enough and safe. But still...the "what-ifs" are scary!

    I am so sad!

    When we bought our house three years ago, the previous owners had chickens and a huge chicken coop. SO, considering we live in the country and own one acre, we didn't think twice of getting our own chicken. This morning I called our township to see if we were allowed to get a potbelly pig. To...

    Rooster and a pig

    Please ignore my ignorance...but can a young rooster live with a baby potbelly pig? I am thinking of adding an addition to our growing "non-human" family, but since we aren’t' completely finished with the chicken coop, I'm wondering if there is a way to combine the two. Of course, Rodgers...

    heat lamps...when to stop using them.

    I am sure this question has been asked many times, so I apologize for repeating it. When can my rooster stop using the heat lamp? It looks like he's completely feathered and he can "jump/fly" out of his enclosed area when the top is off. My concern is that we've had some cold and rainy days...

    Hello Everyone...virgin chicken owner here!

    I some how ended up with the most perfect baby Dominique rooster about 2 weeks ago! I have two daughters, 2 and 5, and we love watching how much he changes daily. Rodgers (My fellow Green Bay Packer fans understand the name!) is now our "baby" of the family. He follows us EVERY WHERE...
