Thanks! It's all good information. :)

Thank you for the info and advice! It was extremely helpful.

I have 5 hens right now around 8-12 months old. They're all very gentle and I want to add more to my flock. How do you introduce new chickens to the flock? I want to add 1 adult rooster and several baby chicks. Will the current hens kill the chicks? Will they all fight? I don't want dead or...

I'm in Northeast Georgia. Franklin County.

I let them out. They all went and did their thing for a few hours, but then around 5 they all went back in the coop. It was so much easier than I expected.

There may be enough room to land, but there's lots of trees. Plus we're surrounded by woods.

They're about a year old. I'm going to try to train them to treats and sound.

I'll try that. Thanks.

I've kept my new flock in their coop for 2 weeks now. They've gotten used to me and will let me pet them, though they're a bit skittish. I couple have let me hold them for about 2 seconds lol. I'm about to let them out and free range for the first time ever. How will I gather them up back in...

I checked on them and they're all just fine. They were roosting still but were talking to each other so they weren't sleeping lol. I refilled their food and threw out some cracked corn for them and they all jumped down and got busy scratching and stuff. Their water had frozen though so when I...

They're cochins, so no frizzie fluffy feathers here lol. I'm about to go check on them so we'll see how they did.

Thanks!

Yeah the rain stopped. It turned to snow for about 2 hours, but now everything is calm.

No. Not for private school, but he's written letters to the school. The school called cps on us back in September because they didn't believe the kids need the medicines they're on (I have a biological child who has issues too), and our pediatrician explained everything to the case worker and...

Thank you!

We looked into that, actually. Unfortunately it's too expensive and there's no financial aid avaliable for it. :( I was so disappointed when we realized we couldn't do it

Unfortunately not. We have him in weekly therapy and his meds are ok, but at school he has no support. I've begged and pleaded for them to test him for disabilities for about a year now, but so far nothing. I begged them to fail him last year but they passed him. I'm afraid he's going to get...

So it rained all night and all day today. For some reason none of my hens took shelter. They're all wet. The temps have dropped now and its 25 degrees. I just checked on them and they're all roosting, but they're still wet. Will they be ok?

I'm sorry you had to do what you did, but you did the right thing. I'd have done the same. I recommend bantam cochins. The roos I've seen from that breed have mostly been all gentle.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcomes!
