I ordered some feed from an online store here in Romania. I was expecting pellets but I received a powdery mixture. I'm not sure the best way to feed it to them. I tried mixing it in with their grain but they didn't eat it.
I'm sure I'll find a tape measure somewhere. My late mother in law had a strange way of storing thing's. You are right about the coop being small. The six chicks, although very welcome, threw me for a loop. We had already ordered and paid for the new hens before I knew about the new ones. I...
Honestly I don't know the dimensions of the coop. I had hoped to replace it by now but we had to replace our work computer instead. My husband says that it has housed up to 15 chickens in the past.
I am in Romania and in my area of Western Transylvania the winters are pretty mild. It's...
The coop is quite old and we will be replacing it when we can afford to. It is of a structure which does not easily allow access. It is about 6 feet by 3 feet. I think it can house about 15 I think.
The 6 chicks are in a small coop and the 2 new hens are in another small coop that I made. It...
The broody hen took her chicks out of the main coop after hatching. I may add that at that time we didn't know that she would successfully hatch any chicks because she sat on eggs from the beginning of May (while my MIL was still alive and dealing with it). In the meantime we had only one...
Thanks! They currently have their own little coop in their own run. The 4 big chickens and roosters are using the big coop. The 6 little guys free range in the same large yard as the others but sleep by themselves at night. They would very much like to join the big guys in the big coop but I'm...
Thanks! I'm sure I will have lots of questions. My mother in-law took care of them, but she recently passed away without imparting any of her wisdom to me. Hubby is disabled and can't help beyond researching. He did arrange the purchase of the hens etc.
Hi all! I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right place. I'm new here . I am an American expat living in Romania with my husband who is Romanian. We just inherited a property with 4 adult leghorns and 6 six week old chicks. U just bought 2 Lohmann Brown hens yesterday. Really I have no idea what...
Hi all!
I have recently inherited chickens from my mother in-law. We have 2 adult hens, 2 roosters and 6 six week old chicks all free ranging. Yesterday I brought home two sixteen-week old hens. I have them in a temporary enclosure but they won't come out of their coop. Is this Normal? How...
