    Prolapse

    Thank you so much. I didn’t know the first one was prolapsed until after she died and I looked her over. I’m still such a new chicken mom that with her, she was just panting and lethargic and so we isolated her and she died quickly. It was fast. That was 3 weeks ago. So yesterday my second one...

    4 hens about 24 weeks old not laying

    No I’m scared. Mother in laws dogs are insane and I can’t chase chickens down every time she decided to let them loose. They have a huge run and then their coop is inside. Any ideas? It’s just weird that only 1 is laying. Weather is beautiful plenty of daylight. Should I put a light in their coop?

    Thank you!!!! Today my biggest concern is the barn cats. I don’t think I’ll be able to free range these chicks like I wanted cause the cats, wild just love in the barn, are gonna hurt them? What do y’all think?

    Radiant heat pad

    Here’s my question cause I’m cheap: can I use a heat plate for full grown hens? I hate spending money on something that I may never use after next week. I know I’m cheap. They’re almost 5 weeks so I want to get something that I can use now and later. This one is smaller and I can put it in the...

    Can I use a plastic storage bin with my heat lamp?

    Thank you! So the coop can go out in the barn now and they can go in? I know they still need constant heat so how about a radiant heat pad hanging in there? I can leave the asphalt top off temporarily and put chicken wire over it so no predators can get in and then they’ll have light until they...

    Hot hubby building the coop. Much bigger than I thought. Gonna weather proof. Gonna put it in this area of the barn with concrete pad and put it on top of this chicken wire thing for extra protection. Can I put a radiant heating pad in and get my chicks in or too soon?
