    Sleeping in the nesting box question

    They have plenty of roosts - I don't know why they have started doing this. I'll start blocking them at night. Thanks!

    Sleeping in the nesting box question

    I have 2 pullets that had decided to bunk in the nesting boxes at night. Should I block it at night so they can't get in? I do have one chicken that is laying. I heard that they don't lay at night. Does anyone know if this is true? If so I can board up the boxes when I shut them in for the...

    why are my 26 week old chickens not laying?

    Haha - I'm doing the same with my 6mo Easter Egger - apparently chicken soup does not scare her.

    The Cracked Egg Chicken Coop

    This is my first big project. I'm happy it's coming along as well as it is. I looked at several designs, ideas and videos. I even bought a couple of plans on line. I didn't use the plans but drew up my own size using others ideas. Here is the framing. I painted it cream and plan to use dark...

    4x8 coop

    Thanks for the pics! I sketched out a similar design. I am a novice and intimidated starting the project. I already built the raised floor but it's not squared so I will be taking it apart and redoing today. I need to find a more level spot to work.

    What Color is your Coop???

    Good question! I am building my coop now and trying to decide what to paint it. I am thinking for the inside that I am going to go with white and yellow - yolk colors . I've been trying to come up with a name for my coop as well. Maybe The Broken Yolk Motel or Speckled Egg Inn? Not sure yet. As...

    Brooder temperature questions

    I have my brooder inside, keep my temp at 69 and found the 250W way too hot!! I couldn't regulate the temp. I switched to a 125W white heat lamp and hated it - couldn't regulate the temp on that either. I finally bought a 75W red heat light and have had much better luck. I also set it up so the...

    Non-stop distress call

    Thank you New Egg. We started with 7 and I expected to lose maybe 1 or 2 but not 3. I am going to start giving them cooked egg for extra protein and have added supplements to their water.

    Non-stop distress call

    Little Miss was the third chick that has died on me in 17 days. I coddled her so it was harder on me than the first two. I started to get worried that she wasn't gaining weight so this morning I cooked up an egg and fed that to all of them. She wouldn't eat the egg but took a bite of food and...

    My chick is not growing

    I was relieved to see this thread. I have a runt as well. She eats, drinks and poops like the others but hasn't grown much except for her wings. They are almost to big for her. However, she does cry a lot and when not eating or drinking sits under the heat lamp. Not sure if I should up the heat...

    Non-stop distress call

    Thank you for all the replies. I have to agree that I think she has imprinted on me. Not sure this is a good or bad thing but I will have to wait out the cries. I was a little concerned because I started with 7 chicks and now have 5. One of the ones that died did the crying thing before it...
