Quote: Once we get the new coop built, I'm planning on keeping the troublemakers in the original coop. If it takes too much longer for my husband to come up with a design, I may have to find a new home for the troublemakers. I'm really hoping that we'll get the new coop built soon.

Thanks so much for all of the wonderful suggestions. I went and bought two flock blocks last week. I put one in the main pen with the 4 Buff Orpingtons, 4 Wyandottes, and 1 Americauna. Of course I had to add one to the temporary pen that the 3 Americaunas that had been bullied are in. I give...

Quote: I have seen them pecking. I went to our local co-op yesterday where my husband purchased the chickens from. He was told that he was being sold 4 Black Orpingtons, 4 Americaunas, and 4 Buff Orpingtons. When I spoke to the gal yesterday, I found out that our 4 black and white chickens...

Thanks so much for all the help everyone! I really appreciate it! I was going off of memory with the size of their run and I did put the wrong size down. It is actually 16' long x 8' wide. We put some medication from the feed store on her quills and she seems to be happy. She was giving...

Hello! This is my first post on this forum, so I hope that I'm posting in the right section. We got 12 chickens in April. Four Black Orpington, 4 Americaunas, and 4 Buffingtons (we were told they are Buffingtons, but can't find them in any books - they're yellow). This is our first time...
