I have a dozen Hens. When I first bought them I also bought a Bantam Roo but he escaped when I was unloading the Pullets. I have 2 of each different breeds including 2 Bantams. This all happened about four weeks ago, well, now that Bantam Roo has returned. Amazing I imagine. My problem is this...

I am a widow and just recently got my 13 Pullets, I love the whole experience. Not planning to raise prize hens to show, just planning to get and sell eggs for a little extra money. I so enjoy this that I am thinking I would like to expand to other barnyard animals. Any suggestions as far as...

Hi, Ummm perhaps I shouldn't be feeding them in the Coup? I have their food, water and hanging Greens in their coup. I leave the door open all day and they only come out every now and then and only four or five feet from the door. Am I treating them to good? I wanted to have free range eggs...

I'm a greenhorn with blue eyes:>) I don't have hens I plan to Show but I do love my girls. This will be my first Winter having them. I have a 9 X 13' coup and I have deep straw on the floor. It is a solid building but old so has some drafts. I did post pictures of it. I live in NC and am...

I have been reading the different Threads for a few months and have come to perhaps an unusual conclusion. So many seem to live with guilt or pass guilt feelings over the care of the Chickens or Ducks. I was trying to do most everything that was said then yesterday I said, "STOP" these girls...

My SF's are about ten weeks old, they don't come out of the Hen house unless I chase them out. Then they stay out for about an hour and they are right back inside. I want them to free range, does that mean I need to take their food and water out of the house. Do I do that now or are they too...

I was reading something on a Homestead Survival Site and someone posted a way to help your coop smell better. Putting Herbs, dry or fresh in the nesting boxes. They found that there Hens would sometimes lay their egg and fall asleep they were so content. Could even put flower petals in there...

Me again, a Newbie. I have six SF's and really love them. I just saw an add in local area for Silkies that are about four weeks old. I'm wondering if I can put them in the same house/coop with my eight week old chicks? Thanks

Hi, I am a newbie who has six SF Chicks. I didn't buy a Rooster because of the crowing around my neighbors and now I am being told that without having one I will not get eggs from the Hens. I know I would not get babies but thought I would get eggs. Help dispell my fears or tell me to go out &...

Hello, I was wondering if I can house quail in my Chicken coup? The Coup is 9' x 13'. It is a shed that I converted for my SF's. I imagine that I would need to keep them in a cage but not sure. Posting a pix of my Coop.

Hello, My first post. I have researched the floor info but could not find anything about grasses. I have a 9X13' coop/hen house with a dirt & some gravel on the floor. I just got 6 SF Hens and are only 6weeks old. I was wondering if I could add grass clippings on the ground floor? I have a lot...

I feel official now because I finished my home for my new babies. The Salmon Faverolle's I got are just six weeks old and would have got them sooner but wanted their house finished first. Never had chickens before but always wanted them and had it on my Bucket list, LOL. Got em now! This site...
