Been a while since I’ve posted on here, my little flock turned into 30 hens, followed by getting goats, and a pig. Anyways, we wanted to expand our horizon so we decided this year we will get meat chickens. We went to tractor supply yesterday and bought 17. They had some that were a week old...

Not sure if this is the right spot to post this, anyways here it goes: I posted up on my local FB page about eggs I have I wanted to donate them....but I had an overwhelming amount of people wanting to buy them. I did end up selling 9 dozen for now, talking to my brother he asked me what if...

I got chickens this year right at the end of spring. It was a trial and I bought used pre fab 4x8 coop-sleeping area is 4x4 attached is a 10x10 run covered with tarps and it just looks tacky and I want to do it up nice. Turns out we love chickens and the eggs they produce. So we’re looking for...

I have 14 chickens, and they live a pretty good life I’ll tell you. For some reason everytime I go into the coop and knell down to fill food or just try to say hi, they’ll constantly peck at me. just an FYI-this doesn’t bother me at all since I know they can’t hurt me. but what does concern...

Yes, I have my license to carry/own guns, yes my town allows discharge of a firearm on my property. Ive practiced shooting targets on my property and the cops have been here before and they don’t tell me to stop. They just want to make sure I’m legal and safe. anyways, I am having some very...

I have chickens now, and a perfect spot to level out, and make a massive chicken coop. ideally this winter I would like to level out that spot 1/2acre or so, build a 2 in 1 coop/goat hut. Obviously they would be divided for sleeping and egg laying purposes, but, for during the day I’d be...

Not sure here, but, I bought 6 chicks from tractor supply. They were 3 weeks old when I got them. Now they’re a little over 3 months. I have them all in the coop/run with my 2 hens which are about a year old. The hens would kind of pick on the smaller chicks-but recently I’ve been hearing one of...

I have 9 chickens. 2 are about a year old. 1 is about 5 months old 6 are 3 months old. I have a 10x10 run attached to my coop-I built a custom roosting bar with a heat lamp above it. the heat lamp is NOT inside the coop-not near the coop. But it’s going to be in the mid 20s tomorrow night...

Around 5:30 today I was just leaving work when my camera notification went off. a massive bobcat walked around my coop/run the chickens freaked out and it ran away. im sure it will be back, and, I will make some adjustments to the perimeter around my coop this weekend. I have zero interest in...

Been doing a bunch of reading on it....fall is here and the days are getting shorter. My 2 isa browns are still laying eggs daily, although they aren’t getting 14 hours of pure day light. I would like to continue to get 2 eggs daily thru out the winter season. In the spring time I hope to be...

I have 2 16 week old chickens and 6 chicks waiting a few more weeks to be introduced to the coop. I’m just curious as to when the 2 16 week olds will know when it’s time for bed? So far, every night I’ve had to pick them up and put them to sleep in their “nesting boxes” I’ve had them for...

A lot of great info on this page, first time chicken owner here, and so far me and my son are loving it. I bought a used coop off Facebook roughly 5x8 in size with 4 spots for the hens to lay eggs. The person selling the coop also included multiple watering bowls and food bowls and multiple heat...
