    What Age to Let Chicks Walk Around in Garden

    Usually in the 80s. I wouldn't let them walk around if it was 60 degrees. I am just trying to see if it is okay to do that. Like can their stomachs handle it.

    What Age to Let Chicks Walk Around in Garden

    Hello everyone! I am new to chicks, although I have had chickens before, but I have a question about letting them wonder around supervised. They are about 5 days old now, and I am wondering at what age, if I am watching them, can I let them walk around in the grass and in the garden a bit. Thank...

    How Much Room

    That's what I have heard! And that is why, this time I am going to add a roost in the run. In case they get in a little bit of a squabble, it also adds somewhere for them to go, if they cant be let out just then.

    Are Silkies good with other breeds of chickens?

    Interesting. Thank you! I am looking for good egg layers, but I also want a Silkie as I have heard good things about them. And they are so darn cute, too! But I don't know if it is worth the risk of it getting picked on...

    Coop Size & How Many Chickens

    Actually, the breeder I talked to will take a Silkie back if it is a rooster... So I don't know what the difference is.

    Coop Size & How Many Chickens

    Okay. So I am wondering if I did get all 5, and then I soon notice pecking, and the breeder would take the Silkie back, if that would be a good idea. Or if just sticking with 4 would be a better idea.... I don't know . Thanks for your help!

    Coop Size & How Many Chickens

    Okay. Yes, that is the thing. I don't have the chicks yet, so I don't know their personalities. They might be pecking each other constantly, and they might get along just fine. But is that something I would notice right away? Or does it take some weeks?

    How Much Room

    Okay. Yes, I guess my biggest question is do they need much space in the coop area? The nesting boxes are attached on the back. Because I feel like if it is a bit crowded at night, but then they have tons of room throughout the daytime, it wouldn't be a big deal.. But it might be? I live in...

    How Much Room

    Yep! We let the free range basically every day. Right now we don't have any, but we are getting chicks this Thursday. And I was wanting to add a Silkie to the flock, but I have a feeling she would be picked on if they were over crowded. Thats why I wanted to add some extra run room. We'll see...

    How Much Room

    Hello! So I am trying to figure out if I could add one more chicken into my coop without crowding the chickens. So our coop is 6' 1" long, and 4' 1" wide. And the henhouse is 3' 7" long and also 4' 1" wide. Does each chicken NEED 4 sqft in the henhouse? I know that people say like 10 sqft per...
