I have the kind of the same problem. I just put my chicks out in the coop with the older chickens. One of my older hen is been really aggressive with the new ones, the new chicks all have injuries. The are big enough to fight back, but don't. I have blocked of part of the coop just for them...

thanks

I live in the chubbuck/pocatello area, and I don't think I can keep my chicken anymore. We have treated our chickens like pets, they all have names, they are all about a year old. I have 3 sex links and 3 leg horns. Any ideas on how to find them a good home?

My hens love rice to always cooked, thats why I was thinking of adding it to my scratch feed. Don't worry I won't feed them just rice. I just did not know if you could give them uncooked rice. I was always told never to feed birds uncooked rice.

So to make my own scratch grain, I was thinking of mixing so flex seed, whole oats, corn grits (my chickens don't like the big bits of broken corn in the scratch grain) and some wheat. Most of the scratch grain I have found have wheat, millet and, corn that's it. I do worry about adding thing...

I live in the city limits, so no guns allowed. I just watch a video of a coyote jumping a six foot fence, just hoped right up like a cat. So I'm thinking a top is a must. Thank you for letting me know about the chicken wire. Look like I need to be replacing that as soon as I can. My girls...

No raccoons in my neighborhood, yet. There is no water for them and not enough trees. My neighborhood used to be old dry farmland, so no trees, but new ones people have planted. I do think they around in other neighborhoods, but have no safe place to live or safe way travel to my...

I need to Coyote proof my coop and run, but I don't know were to start. 1st I have a 6 food high fence around my yard, but just saw video of a coyote jumping one. The coyote stay away from my house during the day. So I think it mostly the night time that I have to worry about. If I locked...

I live in the city limits and gun shots are not allowed. I will have to make sure my chicken run is safe. Right now the only thing I can do is lock up their coop at night and I will have to work on their run.

Wow, I did not know that they could jump that high. I don't know why, but it bugs me to no end the the coyotes are so close (I hate their howls) and with or without chickens in my back yard I don't like thinking that they can just jump right in my yard. They really, bug me. I grow up in...

Coyotes have been coming down to our neighborhood. I think my chickens are ok, because our whole back yard is fenced with a 5-6 foot vinyl fence. I have to confess if the coyotes got in my yard it would might be easy from them to get in the run, once in the run they would have open access to...

He did come over and get the eggs and throw a little bit of food in their coop( I saw so food on the ground around their coop so I guessing that what he did). I know he did not open the door and fill up the feeder. No sure way. I think he was just being lazy. Thought throwing a hand full of...

That would be so cool to hire a pet sitter, but I don't think I can pay a pet sitter. I posted my city (I think). I don't really know what to do I don't have any plans to go out of town for a while, but I will have to find someone else to take care of them that for sure..

Pocatello and it always windy at my house....

We just went out of town for a 2 days and hired the 12 year old neighbor to feed and water our chickens (we have not family close to use to help). We also let him take home the eggs to enjoy with his family. However came home with to the chickens not being feed. Which I really upset about...

I have been washing all my eggs even though they come out of my coop clean looking. I did not know about the bloom, I been washing it off. GOOD to know, time to stop washing my already clean eggs.

Thank you to everyone that posted photos of their coops. It gave us loads of ideas when we were building ours.
