    Feeding Mixed Age Flock

    Hi! I am getting my newest chicks next week! I have 6 hens about to turn 1 year old. I plan to introduce my chicks to the flock at about a month old.

    Broody Hen and ordered chicks?

    Hi! I have 7 chicks coming in 2 weeks from a hatchery and a hen has started being broody a couple of days ago. What are the chances I can just sneak those little Nuggets under her?? She's a pretty chill welsummer hen. This is the second time she's gone broody this year.

    Hi! I have 6 hens and plan on getting more in the spring. I'm hoping to put my brooder box in the coop. Do chickens typically handle the rearranging of their house ok? I'll need to move my nesting boxes and probably change how my roosts are set up.

    Coop & Run Flooring

    Hello! All tips and tricks appreciated. :) I have 9 twelve week old chickens (one has a scissor beak) that we converted a metal shed to a coop for. They have free access to their covered run. I can't free range all the time because of my dogs, but I do like to let them out when the dogs are put...
