I know it's natural behavior, but it was so funny to watch! I had to share. I'm trying out a new set up that I was thinking of enclosing and hanging from the lower side there. I dismantled it from the back end of the coop because it was too high and the Wyandottes that got picked on kept...

I was away for a month. My chickens started laying eggs while I was gone. I'm up to 4 eggs per day now. Today one of the hens laid an egg that shocked me. They've only been laying for several weeks now. Man oh man!

As you can see in my profile pic, the sides and door are mostly wired with no covered walls. The sides have plastic that slide up and down on the outside of the wiring, which has been helpful because I can close them up at night, when it rains, etc. When I got the coop it was only covered with...

Well, my little cross beak is laid to rest now. I posted a video and description on youtube, but I'll paste it here. Sept 4th, I found Chubby sitting under the shelf in the coop after the others ran out. She acted like all she wanted to do was sleep. I wrapped her in a towel on my lap for...

I put together 2 videos of Chubby Cheeks, the littlest chicken (the cross-beak that's the same age as the oldest group). She will walk right over anyone (chicken or human) to get where she wants to go, including the feeder. She even pushes her way between several of them to snuggle when...

My chickens are 10 1/2 weeks old now. I have 2 large feeders in the coup with a 5 gallon water container. They stay in the coup 24/7. I have seen different ones feeding their chickens after they let them out of the coup in the mornings. Is this a preference thing? Or do most give them 24/7...

Hi, How early do you start feeding the chickens crushed egg shells? Thanks, Ann

I have a Premier One Fencing system that I wanted to use to keep predators out, as well as giving the chickens a safe area to run around in. Some of the chicks are still small enough to go through the holes, so I'm keeping them inside the coop until they're bigger. They were out today after the...

Hi, I wasn't sure where this subject belonged. I'm out of D.E., so I figured I would use soil and wood ash from a fire pit. I was given a bag of coconut flour awhile back that was old and wondered if it would work in the dust bath along with the other stuff? Thanks, Ann

Hi, Pinterest brought me here awhile back when I saw someone's thread about how they grow their fodder. I included a picture of the trays I found at a thrift store that'll be perfect for mine (I just have to line them with toile fabric). I'm in North Carolina. My daughter had chickens several...
