glad to know!
I have several boxes and actually started taking out the one they do not use to give them more room to run around.
Just a moment ago there were 7 in one box. When I tried to look for eggs I found the smallest of the chickens under all the Red's.
There are no broken eggs but it...
UPDATE on MAD CHICKEN
He is fine!
After about 2 weeks of showing him I was the nice one and feeding him treats and holding him he got back to him old self. I think next time we will have someone else watch the hen house!
Thanks for the advice!
Does the health department need to come out to check before you start selling?
I know if you want to claim "Organic" there are more hoops to jump through.
We went on vacation and my MIL watched the chickens for us. Seems she brought in a rake to keep the main rooster away from her. We had never had any issues as I could even pick him up and hold him for a while.
Now he is MAD!
I can not even walk in there with out him trying to bite me. I gave...
She really sweet and spoiled!! Since she was the tiniest in the bunch she was my favorite.
She eats out of my hand and whines when I do not pay attention to her when I am in the coop.
Thanks for letting me know what breed she is
She is tiny.
Thanks!!
Here is my little chicken. She is about the size of a dove. I would like to know what breed she is. She is really calm and sweet. She is about 19-21 weeks old.
Thanks for your help!
JodyJo~ I hope that we do not have to get rid of any.
They have already arranged their peeking order of who is in charge and who is second incharge. It is kinda fun to watch
Happy Chicken Farming!
Thanks everyone!
I figured they would be ok since they have been together for about 3 months and no real fighting going on. The two smaller roosters are friends and the two larger one are friends and one he is a loner but gets along with both sets.
I think with the number of hens we have it...
We have 5 Roosters that have been together from the store to us. So far they are doing great at 18 weeks old but I have had a few people tell me they will start fighting and I will have to get rid of them.
These people who tell me this does not have chickens???
So I was wondering.....
Thanks everyone!
Its not hot inside there are 2 vents on the bottom and a whirly bird on the top that you can't see that helps with the wind flow. We keep the windows open at all times and only close the door at night.
They also have a chicken door on the back that we have open but wired until...
We finally finished our coop and currently working on the chicken yard.
The door was at a surplus store, the tin was recycled from an old barn from a friend. The bottom was old pallets. We tried to use as much recycled products as possible.
We really did not have any plans just built as we...
