    Put Chicks Under Broody Last Night - One is gone, other is barely hanging in there.

    Well, I put them under last night. In the morning it seemed all right. The other chickens found a spot to lay their eggs. However, I just got back from shopping and I found one of the chicks outside of the nest just with closed eyes and barely moving. I don't know how long it was out...

    Seems like I got a broody...

    So it's been almost a full year since I've gotten my chicks and now they are all grown up. Now I got one of my hens being broody for about 2.5~3 weeks. My family have tried breaking her by taking eggs, locking her out of the nest box, and that sort of stuff. I'm only home for weekends at a...

    Keeping the chickens out of the patio

    Hey All, So I was wondering if anyone has found or made some type of temporary/removable fencing that they used to keep their chickens out of a certain area?

    What to fill cracks with?

    A couple of questions for coop

    So my pallet coop is under construction and I'll post some pictures eventually. A few questions before that though: I want to put some sort of clear material on the roof so the light can shine in rather than putting in windows since they are a bit expensive. What material could I use for this...

    Alright, I just made a purchase of two RIR chicks and apparently a Delaware chick (I think it's a brahma though b/c some feather feet). I was just wondering, they are all about one month old. Do I really need to buy a flood light, or am I fine? Also, if anyone could post a picture of a...
