Welcome to BYC! August 2020 was my first time having chics. We built a coop and run big enough to house dogs lol Have Rhode Island Reds, Rhode Island Whites and CocoMorans. I enjoy watching them! Great personality’s! And eggs!
Hey everyone! I have 17 Hens and 1 Rooster. He was a surprise freebie sent when I ordered Hens online in August. He’s beautiful! But he is always jumping from one hen to another and doesn’t leave them alone. Is there any way to get him to stop “mating.” I am not interested in breeding just...
This is my first time having chickens and they are 23 weeks old. Huge! Happy! Laying eggs... I use Purina and Dumor depending on what tractor supply has in stock. I also hang zucchini and carrots a couple a times a week. Good luck!
Hello everyone! In my Purina pamphlet that came with my chics 16 weeks ago... it states I should provide light for the hens now. At least 16 hours a day for egg laying. Any advice? I just started them on egg laying feed.
hello! So sorry to hear about your predator problem. I am going to post a video/pic of my new coop and run I built. With heavy gauge wire. I live in the country in deep woods and have had no issues. Hope this helps!
