    Advice: Get a Rooster!

    my young rooster was getting a little mean so I decided to bribe him. At least once a day I take a cup of sunflower seeds out to the run and toss them on the ground a little at a time. He now runs to me to get his seeds.

    I'm thinking about putting all my dried leaves into my chicken run so they can help break them down. Has anyone tried this??

    nest boxes

    I am completing their new coop today and moving them from their brooder pen to the coop, so if a new bowl scared them this much they will probably have a heart attack when I move them to their new coop. LOL

    nest boxes

    I think my chickens are drama queens. I put a new stainless bowl in their coop today and they acted like I put a fox in there. They stayed at the far end for over an hour until I tilted the bowl up and showed them the food inside. And the young rooster hid behind the hens.

    nest boxes

    Thanks for the replies. I was thinking about 5, so that will work out. This site is great. I learned so much before my chicks arrived this spring.

    Nipple watering

    I put mine on the nipples as soon as they arrived. They seemed to enjoy pecking at the nipples so I took away the jar waterer when they were 2 weeks old.

    Nipple watering

    How high above the ground should I put my water nipples. I would like my chickens to be able to pass under it and reach up for a drink when they want it.
