    Big boy

    My boy is 1 year old. He's a Brahma and is not small. He's picking on my girls, and today when I was working in the coop he charged me. Usually he just hits with his chest, but today he kinda spurred me. I think he's feeling his big boy pants. How do I correct him? I want to keep him as he...

    Feed waste

    It seems that my girls are being wasteful with their feed. How do I cut it down. Right now I use hanging feeders. Are there any feeders that are better? Plus how hard is it to get them switched over to the new feeder?
