Great job on the coop so far! it looks really nice. I’m sure your chickens will love it. I would enclose all holes and the run in 1/2 inch hardware cloth instead. It’s pedator proof and completely worth every extra penny. No worrying about dogs or raccoons, plus you’ll never find a snake hiding...

Thanks for the advice!

I’ve never had any bantam breeds, but have had standard chickens for years. I’m currently cleaning out and disinfecting a coop that I plan to use for some bantams (possibly thinking Seramas). I have a few questions: 1. My coop was originally designed for standard chickens. Will the nest boxes...

She is only a little over a year old. This is the first time she has ever gone broody.

I have a standard size hen that has gone broody. I’ve always wanted bantams so I was wondering would it be feasible for her to raise some. I’m a little concerned about them getting squished lol. Do you think that would be a problem?

I would take him to the vet. Sorry I can't help. I think separating might be good incase its contagious. Maybe u could sacrifice one chicken to stay with him in confinement

It will take them several more weeks to really get settled in. Then they will increase egg production. They are still stressed

Definitely a RIR

:mad::he

Good idea!

I used to have that problem. It's easy to fix. Shut them up in the coop for 4-5 days. They will be forced to sleep there and will get in the habit. Then you can let them out and they most likely will return to the coop at night Good luck!:thumbsup

I did a lot of research on sand and it seemed to fit our coop the best. I started out with savings in the coop,and it was a hassle. Thank you for the suggestions. I will probably pick up a kitty litter scoop this afternoon :)

Their wings are perfectly normal. I wouldn't worry unless they show any signs of weakness or distressed

I have owned an raised guinea fowl for years. They will eventually fly. I can't think of a way to keep them off the patio though. I will tell you they are not the brightest birds but they will figure out that flying over the fence equals tasty bugs. Oh and :welcome

Thanks for the idea. I'll give it a try

My coop is a little large to use a kitty litter scoop. Thanks though

Hatching chicks is very stressful on the hen, so I would wait. When night falls, slip the chick under her. Good luck :thumbsup

Thanks

I edited my signature, but I did not see it appear on my post That's why I was wondering
