    Thanks for this plan. We are going to get some red boilers for the front yard to free range and this will do the trick. Cannot wait to get started.

    Do hens mount each other?!?!?!

    Just experienced this with my red sex links. The biggest one(i call her anti-social), was on Scruffy, they are about 1.5 years old, and had them about 8 months. I was shocked when I seen this behavior. We had lost a foghorn last year, had its head gone, with no sign of a break in of an animal...

    concerned my flock won't go inside to roost at night

    I have done that several nights in a row to get them to go into the converted dog house, but they refer to be in the original one. I was wondering why they decided to go on top. At first I thought one was bullying the others. Sometimes just one will go inside, the rest outside. I suppose I...

    concerned my flock won't go inside to roost at night

    My flock consist of 3 red sex links, and 3 foghorns. The past 2 months they do not want to go inside to roost and have been wanting to sleep outside on top of their prefab coop. It is cramped but made for 6 to 8, two would sit in the bedding where they lay, and others on the post. I converted...
