    Do they look almost fully feathered?

    These are my 4 week old black australorps. My intent was to have them go out next week, at 5 weeks old. They seems to be clambering to get out, flying up alot. Their heads still have the downy soft feathers and i see a few of them have a couple white feathers in their wings and chest. Temps...

    Does this coop and run look ok?

    I’m probably going to extend the back of the roost out maybe 2-3 more feet. right now the run is around 15’ x 3’ and the roost is 2.5’ x 3.5’.

    Does this coop and run look ok?

    yeah, it’s been one of my concerns, sigh! Do you think the roosting area itself isn’t sufficient to hold 8? I’ll probably be popping on here again about researching to extend the coop. Not sure how to go about doing that. It may be easier to extend the back then the front. I may have to...

    Does this coop and run look ok?

    yeah, coop door will always be open. They will have free range of the coop and the run at night. When I come out in the morning, I plan to let them out and free range the whole yard. At night I will have them go back into the run and close it up where they have the access to the coop to roost.

    Would the chickens be pecking around at night in the run, and not sleeping in the coop?

    Does this coop and run look ok?

    Hi everyone! My 8 black australorps will be free ranged in my back yard but I set up this run for when I get out too late to open it up for them or if I’m away. We have raccoons here, so I wanted to make sure this would be secure enough for the girls. I have zip tied the run to the coop...

    where does Coccidia Eimeria come from?

    no no-not upset at all! I’m appreciative of all your questions. Questions I wouldn’t know to ask. I’m going to the store tomorrow to see if they have the medication to keep on hand for just in case. I want to try and get them started ASAP on acclimating to our environment. Thank you all for...

    where does Coccidia Eimeria come from?

    so can chickens only give it to chickens or are they capable of getting it from a pigeon or dove? i’d rather prevent this parasite naturally then giving medication.

    where does Coccidia Eimeria come from?

    I’ve read that it is host specific. I’m not 100% sure what that means. I’ve also read this: While poultry, game birds, pigeons, and doves are most commonly affected, coccidia eggs have been found occasionally in parrots, canaries, finches, lories, and budgerigars. Does this mean that my flock...
