Ok thank you so much!!! These🤞🏻girls are 8 weeks and we’re building a new coop this week for them to join a pair of ladies we got in October. We’ve been letting them socialize outside together with some scratch so everyone is having a good time! When do you thInk I should move them in together?
We have a 7/8 week old Golden Commet chicken and her poop has been like this like 4-5 days. Is this her breed’s poop or is she sick? We have them all on chick electrolytes and probiotics in the water. Any and all suggestions are welcome!!! Thank you!
Wow! She’s the smallest of them all and has the least amount of feathers. Whats the deal with people posting pics of the wing? Should i do that tomorrow?
I think that could be good for 4 at the most! And it all depends on where you live and how wet/dry it is. Getting to see your run would help too. So I started out with something very similar to you and after one week of owning the chicks (who had yet to move out) I decided that it was WAY not...
Hi everyone. We have four girls who are 10 weeks old. Honey is a Buff Orp, Nellie is the Black Astro, Ruthie our Americauna and then Pearl our white Leghorn.

I thought I’d give everyone an update. It’s not done yet but it’s getting there!!! I have a long list of stuff still to do tomorrow but if anyone has any feedback, I’d greatly appreciate it! Thank you!!!
Yes, we can only have 4 so I’m starting with the max lol!! I’ve been reading more and more about the no extra heat in the coop and I’m becoming more comfortable with it. I’m just always cold!!!!! We also sometimes get down to Siberia temps...no eat then? But when they become egg laying age I...
I plan to cover the outside run with a clear plastic sheeting and still deciding on how to winterize the roof with either metal sheeting or something for light and I plan to keep it open for the chickens to go in And out
i only have 4 and you can't see the other side has two more nesting boxes so a total of 4 boxes. this is just for them to roost at night and get out danger if need be during the day. The rest of the time they will be free ranging.
