    Hen won't leave nest!

    Our girls have been laying now for about 3 weeks, they've been doing great! But for two days now one of our girls won't leave her nesting box.

    Escaping Chicks!!! Too early for outside?

    You guys think they are older?! They did not inform me of their age when we bought them. I assumed they may have been a week old when we brought them home. They still have fuzz on them, and not completely fully feathered yet.

    Escaping Chicks!!! Too early for outside?

    We have 4, 4 week old chickens. We have a coop already outside that they spend most of the day in and at night they come to the garage where they have a box and heat light. We've continuously build taller boxes and they keep getting out and roosting on the ladder above their box. My question...
