    Free range chickens with fence?

    How high would a fence need to be to prevent chickens from jumping over? We had to get rid of our chickens this year (just before they started laying) b/c the neighbor complained, now they are changing the zoning so I am getting ready to get chickens again in the spring. I liked having them...

    Where Do I start?

    My neighbor complained about my chickens. Now I have none I was under the impression (b/c EVERYONE has them, and b/c I live in an AGRICULTURAL TOWN, with an AGRICULTURAL high school) that as long as I don't have a rooster I can have chickens. NOPE! I live on a full acre, apparently chickens...

    HELP! Bird acts like it can't stand up!

    One of our leghorns, that are 10 days old and fine up to this point, is acting like it can't stand up. When I open the brooder, it jumps up and moves around but when it lays done it falls to it's side and can't lay down upright, any ideas???

    free range

    How do you teach a chicken not to run away, or run into the street? We live out in no mans land, but we still live close to the road, and cars go by very fast (even though the speed limit is 25mph)

    HELP!!!! Birds trying to get through kennel/brooder wires!

    I brought home some new birdies tonight, and now my peaceful birdies that we have had for 5 days are now flying up on top of the cardboard around the kennel and trying to go through the bars. I am afraid to go to bed tonight b/c I don't want to find one stuck, or walking around in my living...

    Eating Poop?

    Is it normal for chicks to eat poop? Well I guess I don't know for sure they are eating it, but they are pecking at it.

    Foot Baths?

    What is the best way to clean their feet? Mine seem to look for the poop to step in it, unless of course I change the bedding everyday twice a day (I don't have to do it that often right?) but I want to clean off their feet.

    Labeling Chicks

    We currently have 6 chicks, 3 are considerably larger so we are guessing those are the meat birds. The girls want to name the other three (which are the leg horns) but we are looking for a way to tell them apart. They are all yellow and look the same, can we tie a little piece of yarn around...

    Cornish Rock & Leghorns

    We got our chickens today. We got 6 chicks from TSC, 6 Cornish Rock (which I did not realize were meat birds) and 3 leghorns. The girl offered to put them in separate boxes, but I knew I was putting them in the brooder together, now that I know that 3 are meat birds I wish I could tell them...
