    Extremely mean rooster

    What is your rooster to chicken ratio, I would adjust that first. I do not agree with bondage on any animal.

    Ok got some flock feeder and a 10lb bag of crumbles to mix in. I also got a new better feeder. We will see in the morning!! They did begin to eat out of it this evening!! I definitely added mealworms to tempt. LOL

    My chicks are 9 weeks old and I am almost done with a bag of chick food, I don't want to buy another since it only comes in 50lb bags. I am told at 11 weeks I can give them regular chicken feed. But for the time being can I get another brand that comes in a smaller bag? I have been feeding...

    MJ's little flock

    I live in NH, USA. Got the Australorps because of their great egg laying ability. They are so pretty and said to grow larger than most other chickens. Not in it for the size but the eggs. I love to hang out with them.

    Extremely mean rooster

    My answer is to have a great dinner out of him. Sorry but a destructive animal is not a good thing to have on the farm.

    MJ's little flock

    I have 13 of these black australorps they are the Australorp Gang that lives in Chick-Mahal. So far my guess is I have 12 ladies and one boy but at 9 weeks old still not 100%. No visible signs that there is a boy but one used to make strange noises and suddenly no longer does that. Time will...

    Kicking them out of the house Final Chapter....

    Had to anchor down the fencing for under the coop access becuase they found a way to get in there. LOL Now it is secure and no access. Twice I found at least one of them in there but of course they could not get out on their own. LOL

    Kicking them out of the house Final Chapter....

    So next dilemma. My coop is raised and I have fenced around it so they can not geet under there, I was thinking they might use that as their safe place instead. But so far 2 nights they are good. But when can I remove the fencing so they can go under the coop again? There is great grass under...

    Kicking them out of the house Final Chapter....

    OMG, today I let the chickens out of the coop after being in there for a whole week. Today I cleaned out that smelly coop and re-set the door opening to manual. Door was set to close at 9pm EST and well it did with all my babies inside. The Australorp Gang has learned their safe place!! Thanks...

    Auto coop doors!

    I have one a Brinsea Ckick Safe door opener. It is operated on a string attached to the door. It works well but rainy days not so good for dusk to dawn. I plan on setting specific times for the door to open and close. I am close to inner city but woods behind me so I have double fencing, 2 X...

    Kat’s Journey into Chicken Keeping

    Nice job. I am new to chick raising. I did something similar to give my babies more room. I had a brooder in the house made of cardboard and added a second one with a door connecting them. At first it was a good idea so when I cleaned the brooder I wouldn't scare them so much but it became...

    Getting in the Coop at Night

    My 13 babies while in the house in my brooder were in a not so well lighted room so I put lights on in there with timers. Each night when the lights went out they all began to chirp really loudly until they were organized for bed. I had a camera on them to watch. As they got older it got...
