    Do any of you have multiple coops?

    I wouldn't worry about a second coop. We have three different coops between 23 chickens. When we let them out in the yard we watch what they do to each other and with some of the new ones I put them together with the others under supervsion. The pecking order is a hard thing to handle with when...

    Lighting- too hot and too cold

    I think that I will have mine for about two months by the time for the fair. We keep all of our little (and meat) chicks in a welping box (our dog had puppies a long time ago) and we keep that in our barn, by our horses, so it really isn't a closed room. We also got our chicks in the 90-100...

    What's Your Chickens names and Why are they named that?

    First death

    My first death was one of my meanie golden comets and I was actually happy to get rid of her because she was mean and she would never shutup:weee, but then about 2 months later my sweet little polish got killed by a hawk. She was all most a hen. I hate that yucky feeling inside of you that makes...
