I live just outside of Austin and got my sand from Austin Landscape Supplies, Exit 259, IH35 South, Georgetown. It's so much cheaper than buying bags of sand! It was $15 for a pick up load. I love having sand in my coop...scoop up poop every morning and have flies, but not any more than...

I bought 10 pullets (vaccinated) last June and all seemed very healthy and grew fast! I lost one early on...found her on the coop floor with a broken neck....still haven't figured out how that happened. Everyone else was fine until late November. We had three days of 24 degree weather which...

He has to catch and force them. They run from and avoid him like the plague!

My pullets aren't laying yet but I've seen the Roo mate with 3 of them. Hopefully those girls are going to start earning their keep before long!

This afternoon I will try putting the treats in more than one area and see if that helps. Anything is worth a try, I guess!

My 5 1/2 month old Roo has gotten so mean to my hens! If I take a pan of treats or leftovers out to them he won't let the girls have any. When one gets brave enough to even get near the pan he literally tries to rip her head off. I can't stand hearing the screams they make...all they want are...

That's one reason I wanted all pullets. Wanted my girls to be stress free! He's really pretty but we'll just have to wait and see, I guess.

My 20 week old Production Red Roo, "Sonny Britches", has just started crowing and although he hasn't been mean to humans, he has started being mean to my 9 hens. If they do something he doesn't like he grabs them by the head or back with his beak and appears to bite them, even pulling feathers...

Thank you all from a very hot Central Texas! No more problems with the girls putting themselves up at night...must have been that mean ole paper that blew into the coop! Put pine shavings in their laying boxes yesterday and new boards to make it easy for them to get to the boxes. Was afraid...

So far everyone seems to get along really well. When I went out to shut the door tonight there was a piece of paper on the floor of the coop (guess it blew in in the 30 minutes since I'd last been out there). They might have been scared of it, I guess. I hadn't really thought of that. We will...

My 9 pullets and 1 Roo (he was supposed to be a pullet) put themselves to bed every night and I go out just before dark to shut and lock the coop door. Tonight 3 of the pullets had decided they were going to roost on a board outside in their chicken yard. I could not get them in so my husband...
