    Should I cull some of my roosters already?

    I bought some sexed female chicks in August and then later ended up getting some unsexed chicks at a feed store in September. They were on sale because chick days was over and I wanted some roosters. They are now 5 months old and they are all ready mature (breeding the hens). I have 7 roos and...

    How do I prevent hawks while free ranging?

    My backyard is 2 acres and I would like to free range my chickens. Right now my chickens live in an enclosed run. They spend a lot of time in their coop and don’t seem mentally stimulated enough (digging and foraging). I’ve let them out before but once a hawk came and almost took my favorite...
