    Can I put a fully grown chicken in with 4-5 week old "chicks"?

    So can I literally keep her in a kennel for a month to quarantine her? Does she need exercise time? We're truly talking about a backyard chicken setup here so there's not a lot of extra space to keep them separate. I'd have to keep her in quarantine in the garage for the month.

    Can I put a fully grown chicken in with 4-5 week old "chicks"?

    Sorry for the massive amount of questions. How secluded does she need to be? Is it a lack of physical contact entirely? Like could I put her in the dog kennel inside the chicken coop and just pull her out individually and let her run around a bit? I may just tell my friend to hold onto her for...

    Can I put a fully grown chicken in with 4-5 week old "chicks"?

    Thanks for that additional info. I have a small dog kennel (wire) that's about 4-5 sqft that I could seclude her to but I don't really have another coop I could put her in. do you think that would be enough living space for a single chicken? She wouldn't have a whole lot of room for moving...

    Can I put a fully grown chicken in with 4-5 week old "chicks"?

    So at what age or level of maturity do you put them together? They seem to be pretty fully feathered that this point - and they outnumber her three to one. She's also fairly well socialized as she's coming from a coop with many (15+) chickens.

    Can I put a fully grown chicken in with 4-5 week old "chicks"?

    We have three chicks that are 4-5 weeks old at this point. They're living outside in the coop. One of our friends has a chicken they'd like to give us as well but it's fully grown. Any concerns with putting a fully grown chicken in with chickens that are that young? I'm going to have to put...

    3-4 week olds, 3 different breeds (wyandotte, new hampshire, plymouth)

    Another question - for these breeds when can I know for sure? It seems for the Rock it should be obvious based upon coloring - what about the other two?

    3-4 week olds, 3 different breeds (wyandotte, new hampshire, plymouth)

    Thanks all! I hope I have 2 / 1. I'm getting another chicken (full grown) from a friend so if I end up having 3 girls and one roo that would be not a bad split!

    3-4 week olds, 3 different breeds (wyandotte, new hampshire, plymouth)

    Just curious how you came to those conclusions (for learning purposes) i can tell you the NH seems to dislike the most being picked up. The Wyandotte is the most friendly followed by the Plymouth Rock.

    Retractable wheel for chicken ark - need advice

    That's actually a really cool solution - and it's possible I can do that without the need to build onto the back at all. I'll have to take a look at it and see what I can come up with. Thanks Mark!

    Retractable wheel for chicken ark - need advice

    Hi All I just built an ark and I'm trying to build on some retractable wheels to make it easier to move. Picture: I tried to use regular construction L-brackets but it's far too heavy and they bend sideways without much movement. Does anyone have a recommendation of what else I might use...
