I went to TSC to get some chicks and came home with a dozen. I'm not so sure they were labeled correctly or that the kids didn't put them back in the wrong bins. Anyways, all is well with them and I'm hoping to end up with some hens out of the batch! I took 6 Golden Comets and 6 straight...

I have 2 roos and 8 hens. They are all the same age, 20 weeks. The hens are just beginning to lay, 3 small eggs so far. The roos have been trying to mate for about 3 weeks now. So far, no visible damage to the hen's backs from the mounting. What I'm noticing is how rough they are on the...

I have 10 chickens that are about 13 weeks old now. They all get along well. I see the occasional chest bumping but never any pecking at each other. I keep finding what I would consider a lot of feathers around the coop. None of the chickens seem disheveled like they are getting picked on or...

I have a 3 week old white plymouth rock. She is part of a flock of 10, 2 of which are white plymouth rocks. These 2 seemed to be the quickest growing, biggest eaters and most active. Now this particular one seems to spend alot of time just hanging out on the perch rather than investigating...

Hello! I have a 36X60 barn that I've had restored. New roof, new foundation, floors, etc.. Basically, I just use it for storage and a workshop. I've been wanting to raise some chickens and possibly some other livestock someday. My question: Are there any reasons not to take a corner of my...
