We bought these coop plans online. What is considered normal diameter for the roosts? Last night we blocked off the nesting boxes and they went insane. It sounded like the rooster was attacking them. I could see a few birds way up high in the trusses.
I'm totally new to chickens. We have 9 chickens in the coop and two are fbcm roosters and one sizzle rooster. We plan to thin out the roosters soon. The Marans are 3 weeks older than most of the flock except I have one Marans hen that is the same age. One of the fbcm rooster just started to get...
My chickens are anywhere between 13-17 weeks old and they pretty much all climb into two of the nesting boxes to sleep at night. Is this normal? Will they adjust when they start laying? I'm going to put a couple more wood ladders in there today but they don't even use the one that is in there.
I have 9 chicks. They are between 1 1/2 weeks to 3 1/2 weeks. Then I have a batch of 7 coming from Mypetchicken mid April. These will be our first chickens. I'll have 16 and will only keep one rooster so hopefully we don't get too many of those. I also have 4 runner ducks coming in April too.
