    My muscovies will not lay!

    It takes a while after any changes for my Muscovy hens to lay any eggs. My free range girls would lay eggs under things (tarp, woodpile, shed) until I read the thread below and put some rubbermaid totes in the area they slept in. Now they lay in the totes and it is much easier to keep track of...

    Chicks not as friendly ever since they moved outside

    Bribery works. You could use the same call or noise each time you bring out the treat bowl and they learn quickly to come when they hear it. Some chickens seem to have different personalities which emerge as they mature and get past this flighty, too busy to notice you stage. Eventually a few...

    New flock not laying!

    It sounds like the CQ was stressed from the new arrivals and the RIR’s stressed by being relocated. When I introduce a new bird to my small flock egg production drops for a week or so until they sort everything out. Here is another good article on possible reasons hens are not laying...

    Ready to be a chicken keeper in Ringgold, GA

    More experienced members will have better information but in my "flock" I have the following breeds: Marans-dark brown egg, Ameraucana-blue egg, Black sex linked and Orpington-light brown egg, “Olive Egger” – dark green egg. All of these breeds, for me, are calm, quiet birds that get along...

    Newbie from Michigan

    I had to laugh at your example of what I believe they call on BYC "chicken math". Your collection will definitely need a bigger coop. You might as well make sure it has room for all those chicks you will hatch out of your newly acquired incubator too ha ha. I think spouses of chicken addicts...

    new member from Manitoba Canada

    Welcome to BYC. It is great you are getting more chickens and can have a rooster in your area. We had two Brahmas long ago and they were the sweetest birds. Have fun reading all the threads about different breeds usually those are loaded with pictures which is a bonus.

    How to best clean sand in coop?

    Would a "litter scoop" for cleaning cat litter work to get the poop out of the sand? If the dust is still an issue those paper medical masks are cheap if she is willing to put one on for cleaning. If you go to shavings it looks like a small push broom could get most of them out that hole by the...

    Integrating small chicks into the coop

    That is a really innovative idea you have there and it is working for you and your flock, great job! How long did it take for the 4wk old chicks to realize they could go in and out of that hole?

    New to raising chickens - what night time routine must I have?

    Some chicks figure it out right off, mine did not so I spent a couple nights collecting sleeping chickens in the run to put them in the coop. A BYC member then told me to lock them in the coop with food and water for 2 days/nights without letting them into the run. After I did that they would...

    *my* dog killed a neighbor's chicken!!!!

    It sounds like you have done everything you could to contain your dog and this was an unfortunate accident. Maybe you could add a second latch of a different type to your gate/s to ensure that they are secure when closed. We added second latches to our gates, a slide bolt for the wood one and...

    unknown breed of a rescued hen

    This is just a guess- Rhode Island Red. A friend of mine had some hatchery RIR pullets and they looked very much like your rescued girl. It is great she is is now going to have a good life in a happy home.

    Can't build new coop rehome polish, frizzle, bantams?

    I have one bantam who lives with large chickens happily. When it was time to integrate her into the flock I put up my temporary pet fence next to the coop and placed the bantam and the lowest large hen on the pecking order inside it to spend the day. After a few days I let those two free range...

    Newbie and needing some help

    For what it is worth the man that owns our local feed store and has a large flock always tells me 5 to 6 weeks for medicated then switch to grower so by his parameters switching to grower now would be OK. My chicks are now 5.5wks old and my medicated bag will be done tomorrow and I intend on...
