Hi, we have got 2, 16 week old chickens, had them for a couple of days, they are in the run and coop, how long before we can let hem out to run free range during the day around the garden?
Thank you, never had chickens before and was worried incase we done any harm to the other chicken that wasn't laying. Lots of horror stories about causing damage to them by feeding layer pellet before 20 weeks.
We have 2 new 16 week old chickens, 1 of them is laying a egg in the mornings. We have bought grower feed and corn. But have been told they should be eating layer pellet?
We have 2, 16 week old hens, only had them 3 nights. They slept on a perch the 1st night but have since taken to sleeping in the nest boxes. It is 0 degrees here in the uk, was wondering if that was why? Very new to chicken keeping.
We are buying 2, 9 week old ixworth chicks tonight, we have everything ready except for the feed, what do we feed them with and do they need anything in the coop to keep them warm. Georgia & Lucas xx
