    Getting pullets to sleep on the roosting bar?

    We had that problem and found a simple solution. Just before sundown we block the nesting boxes and that forces them onto the perches. It didn't take long at all for them to get used to that (about a week) and now they ignore the unblocked nesting boxes. Also, make sure they have adequate...

    Comment by 'Glen30458' in article 'Adding To Your Flock'

    Very good article and I learned a lot reading it but in my particular situation I am still in need of advice/guidance. Please allow me to explain our current flock dynamics. We have 4 older hens (two are currently raising chicks) that we recently added a whole new flock to. It took a couple of...

    What can I do to stop a hen bully?

    I'm pretty new to all this stuff but have already had to deal with several bullying issues. It may seem a bit harsh but this worked well for me. I have taken aggresive hens or roo's and simply put a nylon tie around each leg (not to tight but tight enough it doesn't ride up) then used a third...

    Meyer Hatchery - 4 of 15 chicks dead

    I received my shipment of 27 chicks from Meyer's hatchery yesterday. There was one doa and I lost 2 more in the first 8 hours. There are still two others that don't seem to be doing well but the rest are fine so far. I'm hoping my total loss on the shipment will stay at 3 or hopefully no more...

    How do you catch your chickens?

    lady i purchased mine from used a large long handled fishing net and it worked great.
  7. There is our Coshin Rooster. He is about half the size of the Bantam rooster right now and is being bullied (but not harmed yet) by the larger rooster. I will be asking advice on this issue later in a more detailed post in the forums. Please, if you see or think these birds are other than the breeds i think they are speak up. I'm new and only going by what I was told when I bought them.

  9. There is the lovely Bantam rooster we got to keep those 2 bantam hens company. Chickens sure are hard to photograph with a cell phone. Most of my pictures they all turned out blurry. Future pics to be taken with a digital camera to eliminate this problem.

  14. One of our 5 dogs country seemed to take an instant mothering instinct towards the chickens and wouldn't let any of the other 4 dogs come near the pen. Hope she's mothering them and not simply protecting what she see's as her food source. lol
