    Review by 'Anonymous' in article 'Snixter3s Chicken Coop'

    A very unique chicken coop that also looks quite good, the only proble, is that for the run you used chicken wire for the run which isn’t that good for chicken coops as it’s very easy for predators to break. Try something like hardware cloth for more protection.

This also means that once the wing has grown...

    Is the colour of a pekin chick determined by the parents?

    Hi, I am getting a breeding trio of pekin bantams soon, and I was wondering that, since pekin come in a variety of colours, should I have all three the same colour or have a mixture. I am looking to breed them (hence getting two hens and a cockerall) and wasn't sure what colour the chicks would...

    Planning on hatching some chicks. Any tips?

    Thanks, I think I'll try those rubber eggs as I don't like to leave eggs in the coop for to long for fear of them breaking and making a mess that could not only be annoying for me to clean but also uncomfortable for the chicken

    Bleeding Comb

    When I have the occasional scratch on a comb or leg or something I have this antiseptic powder I put on it just in case and then I leave it and it turns out fine. Just make sure that it doesn't get in their eyes, I don't think it will harm the chicken but it might be a bit annoying for her.

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    We’ve only just got our ten hens and a cockerel so we’re only getting 3 eggs out of a possible ten but we normally have a double yoker every other day so that’s good!

    To be completely honest, I think you’ll have to wait a bit longer to see, maybe a week or two.
