Hello all! I’m pretty sure this is an odd question but would it be a problem to mix feeds together when feeding my girls? They don’t like pellets for whatever reason so they’ve been on crumbles exclusively. But I recently found a whole grain organic feed (Scratch and Peck Organic Layer feed...

I’m in need of some help. I have an 8x4 run that I’d like to expand the run to be 8x8 and the only way I can do it is by expanding to the right (when facing the run) my problem is that there is a hill right where I want to expand. I tried carving out part of the hill but there is a tree right...

Well it’s basically all done. Just need to complete the new pvc feeder and waterer tomorrow (using their old ones for now) but they have officially moved out today. I still feel bad kicking them out. I always feel like they’re going to be cold. But they’re about 8 weeks old now so it’s time...

Hello all! I was wondering if anyone has ever purchased a used chicken coop before? And what the pros and cons are to that? I was planning on building my own coop in the coming weeks but my husband doesn’t really want to build one because the layout I wanted is “too complicated” 🤨🙄 so he found a...

Hello there everyone! I’m new here so I’m sorry if I ask a dumb question or something that’s already been answered somewhere else. But I started my new little flock of 5 chicks on 4/23. Got 3 Americanas and 2 speckled Sussex. So they’re about 3 weeks old now (I estimate because I got them from...
