I held one down and tried to wipe the comb. Doesn't seem to want go come off and I notice a few gave it. Just led profound as my 2 rooster. They are worse then a greased pig to hold when they know your being nosey.

My 2 Buff Roosters combs have these black spots. Is it contagious. Are my other birds eggs safe to eat around them. Could it just be frostbite? It actually appears all my birds have small spots of whatever it is

Do you think I should put plexiglass over the peak vents. Cover the 2 big triangles. I was going to just drill hiles in it and screw them up for winter. Just leave the openings under the roof overhangs open. They are 4 4"x2ft holes from the rafters. I was going to put something clear up...
Thank you. I did not know any of this. Should I just do a heavy bedding method for the winter in the run for the pooh and inside the coup?

"Winter is Coming! " couldn't help it. But anyway, I was hoping for some guidance. In PA I have 9 chickens. Do I need to wrap my run for the birds? Or leave it open and just close the top vents of my gable for winter. Was going to do a heat lamp any ideas what works and doesn't. I will...
Also went back this morning found an egg. Extremely brittle. Lack of vitamin d? More sun? My birds weren't laying yet. So I know it's one of the knew

I have no extra coup to keep them in. So quarantining is hard to do. What do I treat them with. And should in is the deworm on on all my birds? I had though you only did it when the eggs got a lot of pooh on them. "Sorry still learning"

Had 9 birds from hatch. 7 Roo. Sold 6. Have 2 hens 5 months and a roo 5 months. Just went to auction and picked up 3 hens. Put them in the run with the 3. Should I discard the first eggs I get. It was a local farm auction. What should I watch for?

Males sence. It was 47 last night so I didn't want to make them to cold. My coop I has a heat lamp 4ft up. Just to help with chill. Figured it would make it more appeasing. I mean I coud leave coop door open 24/7 it's very secure in the run. Let them do what they want.

Have 9 1 1/2 month old chicks. They are now in the coup and last few really nice days I opened the door to run and let them stretch there legs. Use the new feeder and water system. But at night they wouldn't go into the coup on there own. Have to put them in there. Why do they not go up...
Cool idea. I'm going to use a car window motor and a photo cell for a house light. I have all the parts. But not ready for that stage yet.

Moved my 1 month old 9 chicks outside with a heat lamp. Even though I was keeping up with cleaning smell was noticeable with small rancher. But since PA is warming up. I'll let them into the run while I'm out side and it's above 70 went with wire lath for fencing since i have 5 bundles of it...
