    What can I do to make my chickens quiet?

    ".. It's not a problem in the winter because it is later in the morning, but right now it is at 6:00-6:30 AM and I know my neighbors don't appreciate it. It is to the point that I m considering rehoming her, but with my luck another would just take her place with the noise. Has anyone ever...

    Pecking order?

    HELP! the art of TREATS and getting back in the COOP

    I have 7 2 month old pullets. They have a very large run and coop which for the moment is where they stay- no free ranging as we can only let them roam when we can watch them (finicky landlord). *Sometimes when it's dusk they seem to get agitated but just wont go inside, when i KNOW they just...

    Sparring Chicks - OH NO.

    So i have 7 babies (almost a month old). Supposedly BUFF BRAHMAS, but i highly doubt it based on pictures I've seen. Up till now they have been pretty mellow, except one which we suspect MIGHT be a rooster. In the last few days they have stepped up the sparring. This morning when i had them...

    Pallet Coop Plans?

    I thought there were a bunch, but so far I've only seen actual plans for a couple. We want a simple coop for 6-8 chickens, and of course we'd like to make it as easy to clean as possible. My husband is VERY good with building, so it doesn't have to be overly simple... TIA!!!

    SO Excited but have an important Question!

    I just don't know if I'm taking on too much or not. What is a huddle box? It will be in the 60's here from now on and dropping at night. By June it will be quite warm. Can you acclimate them to each other right off the bat with small bursts of supervised time? Would that work? Or do I have...

    SO Excited but have an important Question!

    BLUE SEAL is a feed store around me. It's a chain, but quite reputable I think. I would have to keep them in different brooders No?

    SO Excited but have an important Question!

    Hello! We are so excited to bring our 6 baby chicks home from a private doner (is that the right moniker?) in 2 1/2 weeks. We've done our research, reading and have a nice big run/coop in the making. TODAY we fell in LOVE with 2 small chicks in the BLUESEAL brooder. What would be the...
