I hang a 5 gallon bucket from the ceiling with 4 watering nipples on the bottom of the bucket. I have a water heater in the bucket but the nipples freeze and the chickens cannot get any water. The water in the bucket stays unfrozen, it is just the nipples that freeze. What else could I do to...

I am thinking of getting 2 guinea hens. Right now I have 15 chickens and 1 rooster. This is my first flock of birds. The chickens I have right now are 5 months other. The guineas will be about the same age. Is it OK to put them together in the same chicken coop? My coop is 6x8. But they only...

I really just noticed them because the hens are always free ranging. I never keep them in their yard anymore. I will try removing them though to be sure.

will the "eggs" do any harm to the chickens?

I was watching over the chickens yesterday because we just got a rooster. I noticed these little eggs on the netting on top of their yard. What are these? Flees? I have never seen them before. How do I get rid of them if they are flees? The chickens are always free ranging so they are never in...

Ok cool. Thanks.

Alright. Maybe I'll make a 3rd then. But they didn't even want to use the second one

I have 15

Well I have two roosts about 6 foot long. But they were trying to all fit in the top one. None of them wanted the lower one.

I have just put up the roosts in my chicken coop this week. The chickens are about 12 weeks old now and have been in the coop for 3 or 4 weeks now. I went out to let them in tonight and they are all on the roost and they are trying to walk over each other and they are standing on each others...

This is perfect! Thanks! Do you think this will hold out the rain fine? That's the only thing I was worried about, was rain dripping in through the sides with a sliding window.

this is where i have the windows now. I have hinges, but i have no idea how to do that. I figured sliders would be easier. Sorry, this is the best picture i have now.

I bought plexiglass for the windows of my coop. I can't figure out how I should use them on the coop. I want the easiest thing possible. I was thinking of just doing removeable windows, like sliding them in and out each day between the outside trim. But i do not know how to use a router and I...

I have removed the poop. Now just some is smeared in the hair but not in the way. All the other chicks have hair on the butts and look normal. This chick with the paste butt is all red. Not fur like the other chicks. Looks like red is sticking out and keeps convulsing like she has to poop. Will...

This is my first time raising chicks. The chicks are now a week old. One of the chicks is a bit smaller than the others and keeps to herself a bit. I noticed there is a big clump of poop on her behind and looks like she is trying to go but may be constipated?? Is there anything I can do? Has...
