Hi,been awhile since I have posted,everything has really gone pretty good. I have 4 roosters now (got them all 4 from the last batch of chicks I bought this Spring) Are they gonna all get along? It seems that the older they get,the meaner they are getting with the fussing and basically being...
Does any one know why our girls are constantly picking the rear end feathers out of one another? We had one that got bad enough that she got a bloody sore and we had to isolate her till she healed.
I posted pics of these two girls when they were little,now they are all grown up and giving us large white eggs.Can any one verify the breed? They were labeled as brown legged pullets before,still agree?
Thanks JSC's Hubby
We have a Buff Orpington that the flock has pulled out the feathers and pecked here above her tail feathers to the point that she has a sore (bleeding). We took her out of the coop and put her in the chick cage and she is healing well. What I was wondering is the name of the blue stuff you put...
Do they naturally want to come in from the run at dark or do you have to "train" them by feeding them in the coop at that time? Our 8 and 9 week olds have been in their new coop for almost a week now but the run will be done in a day or two if the weather holds up.
I got the coop done today,it is in the corner of one of our detached garages.
Here is the new flock checking out the pad! They were ready to get out of their cage!
Checking out the new nesting box.
This is where they will come out to the run.
The run will be 8ft X 20ft
What...
................. and the chicken doors that go from the coop to the run? We are getting ready to build our run and would like to see some tried and true examples.
Thanks,
JSC's hubby!
