    Ultimate Chicken Mystery...what’s your opinion?

    So, if a leader or respected chicken signals for the other chickens to come eat at a certain spot they will. There could be several reason for a specific chosen spot. Lead hens and roosters talk the others into doing all sorts of stuff. .... ???? :)

    araucana Chicks , how do I determine sex?

    Agreed, I’m thinking (Long Feather) he’s the keeper... the tailless (rumpless) cockerel is a little crazy and super aggressive and the mutant with the wild tail feather is even stranger and aggressive as well.

    just a little frustrated (feather picking)

    I second that ... but I have noticed that chickens or chicks that are the most non conforming and most mentally unstable tend to get picked on the most. It’s like the others know who’s the weakest genetically.... just a theory though

    Help What should i do?

    I would replace altogether ... but how about carefully cutting the entire flat part of the bottom and replace with another insulated flat material ... certain glues might cause a problem but two side tape or the right caulking might work instead of glues or epoxy??

    Best/Strongest Way to attach hardware mesh

    They’re is romex wire staples sold in the electrical section of hardware stores. They are not galvanized but are way easier to hand hammer than poultry staples. They are super strong and will last for years just not decades. They are cheap and do an awesome job ... I used them for my setup and...
