    Have to separate hen and new chicks??

    I have 2 hens sitting on clutches of eggs. They should be hatching very soon and I don't know what to do then. Can I just leave them in the very large coop with 2 other hens & 1 rooster? If I take the chicks out, can I only take 1 hen with them? My "holding pen" is pretty small. If I do...

    shredded paper in brooder

    I have put shredded paper from my home office in the brooder. I haven't gotten to the store for pine shavings. Does anyone know a reason I shouldn't use this? The chicks seem ok so far. They are about 2 1/5 years old. I don't want to mess things up!

    bedding in brooder--what to use?

    I want to put something on top of the newspaper that I am using on the floor. What do you recommend? I have heard of pine shavings. Is that the same as pine bedding at the pet store? Obviously, this is my first time with chicks!
