    Sick chicken

    Should I separate her? I'm wondering if the other chickens are picking on her.

    Why won't my hens lay?!?

    Sorry I have one more question. Here is what my coop and run looks like. I put a light up at the very far right to light the whole run and coop. Or should I just light up the coop only?

    Okay thank you! How long will it take for them to start producing once I add extra light?

    Why won't my hens lay?!?

    The two that are 25 weeks have large red combs. The other three don't. And the two older ones squat when I pet them. I look around the yard after I put them to bed and don't see any eggs anywhere. I might try to put a light up in the coop tonight.

    Opening and closing the door

    My girls seem to make their way up into the coop almost an hour before sunset. After it gets dark I go out and close it and always have. But in the morning I don't get up until a few hours after sunrise. Is it bad to keep them in the cool after sunrise or should the door be opened right at sunrise?

    Illinois?!?

    Hi all! I'm in northern Illinois, lake villa to be exact. I got three chicks from a local farm and I'm pretty sure one is a rooster. We are not allowed to have roosters and I have to get rid of him before he starts crowing. I think he is about 7 or 8 weeks old. Can anyone help me out?
