    New from Stockton, CA

    If you have school aged children and they are in 4H or FFA you could probably obtain a city permit to raise what ever you like in your back yard. That said no one probably would care if you have a few hens, they are not even as noisy as a neighborhood dog.

    5 month old Cochin hen is wheezing...

    If your hen has heat stress an underlying respiratory illness could present itself that you hadn't previously noticed. I would keep her isolated but cool and comfortable. Although chickens love their scratch it's better saved for when it's cooler outside as it makes them warmer.

    9-week-old pullet started crowing...

    Don't be hasty, I have a hen (egglayer and broody) that when threatened by noises will crow, loud just like a rooster.

    fox

    I had a fox kill a hen mid day, made me re-think free range during the day. I would never have expected a fox in town, and as it turns out it is an endangered species. I hope I don't jink myself by saying but although he makes rounds daily and leaves scat, he hasn't tried to break into the coop...

    Wire Skirt Help

    My chicks are burrowing under the sill of the aviary run of the coop, has anyone run a wire skirt on the inside to prevent this? Any suggestions to prevent the digging along the sides?

    Burrowing Chickens...

    We don't currently have a wire skirt as our hens are cooped at night, did you put a wire skirt on the inside of your run?

    Burrowing Chickens...

    My chickens are so happy in their new coop, but they are tunneling under the edges with the scratching and dust bathing. We are worried that they'll shift the walls. I was wondering how you keep chickens from scratching tunnels under the edges of the coop. Any suggestions?

    Chick choked to death??

    It's hard to say what caused such a sudden death, I too lost a chick from Ideal at about day 3. I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm sure it wasn't something you had control over.

    Cover the run or not cover the run?

    For security purposes I would cover it. It not only provides shelter from the elements, but from overhead predators.

    Thanks, I like the way the door looks from the outside, do you have a picture of the inside track that the door must ride in?

    Pictures of Pop hole

    Trying to design one last detail, so would be interested in pictures of your pop holes. We plan to use an auto opener, so need it to slide up. Thanks.

    Raising Chickens with Ringneck Doves

    I would like to hear from anyone that raises hens with doves. We are building a new coop and I was wondering if I could incorporate facilities to co-habitat doves with my chickens. My aunt keep trying to give me doves and they are really sweet.

    How many broodes do you currently have?

    I only had 2 bantam hens (cochin and japanese), both went broody, so we ordered chicks and they are both sitting on 7 each. I have 7 more in the brooder, I would like to add them under the hens, do you think they could manage more?

    How do I keep my bantams warm in winter in Brisbane, Australia - Help

    When it freezes I use a 100W lite bulb well away from the shavings to warm the air.

    Hen hatched her egg, What now?

    I don't have a rooster, however I just ordered hatchery chicks and I like to use my broody hens, it is so much easier, and perfect, besides being the cutest thing ever.

    Connecting coop to chainlink run?

    We used a dog run attached to a small coop in the past, we had to cut a hole for the coop door to attach to the run. Since it had a cover on the dog run it did work well for daytime use giving the hens more space, and recycling the no longer needed dog run.

    Two Broody Hens Together

    I was wondering has anyone allowed with success two hens to brood chicks in the same enclosure or do you need to keep them apart. I have chicks coming today that I will put under my broody hens, but have never let them all stay together in the same coop, anyone experienced with this?
