    Winterizing Coop for NY winter

    I'm in a few chicken keeper facebook groups where some people had instances of the mulch lodging in their chicken's foot and causing bumble foot. I'm glad to hear it's been a non-issue for you! I feel like anything can cause an issue though. I was originally thinking on wood chips!

    Here is our run 6 months ago back when the gals had grass in it. Any advice on roofing material so it’s not too heavy? We don’t have a support beam in the middle so may need to add one. Thanks for all of the advice

    Hi everyone, I gave my 7 week old chicks their first dried mealworms treats 2 days ago. They have been having grit since 5 weeks because i was concerned about them digesting grass. Is it okay to give mealworms sparingly at this age? I’m reading mixed things about treats. Thanks

    Is this a red star?

    Hi everyone, 7 week old Rosie here was supposed to be a Buff Orpington but totally is not. She is much lighter than my New Hampshire red, and is extremely outgoing and friendly. Is she a red star (golden comet), or something else? She’s front left in the group photo. Thanks!!

    Thank you so much for the pics, mine is much darker than that. Wow, I'm so shocked I was not expecting a different breed to come out of this post! LOL. I love her just the same but I'm sad my flock is not as mixed now with 2 reds.
