Youngsters are all hiding in the corner. I kicked out the older hand and blocked the entrance for now the older hen that got in is one of the smaller ones. They aren’t drawing blood and the youngsters can get to their food and water OK. I’ll wait it out And see if I can’t get them together. I...
Hello, I have five 9 week old birds and five older ladies that I have kept in a separate part of the coupe. I had a plastic netting between the two so they could see each other for a couple of weeks. Yesterday I cut a hole in it so that they could start to get together and one of the older girls...

Had 4 oldish girls this winter, got a pair of cream legbars in the spring, couldn't resist 6 prod. reds from tractor supply (they said they were RIRs but they aren't). Just hatched out 6 cream legbars. suddenly, I have 18 chickens!
Hi, I had 7 eggs in the bator, only got 1 hatched (today). :-(... Does anyone around central CT have a couple of day old standard size chicks they could sell me to keep the little bugger company?
Thanks, Gary
