I’ve got some egg eaters and will be adding curtains to the nesting boxes. Looking for recommendations for fabric and method of hanging the curtains. Pictures welcomed. Thank you!
They started eating eggs, I was told if I trim their beaks this will stop. I do notice their claws are growing and starting to curl, so maybe they aren’t wearing down. I am going to add in some cement/brick/rocks for them.
I have noticed that my hens are eating eggs and I was told they may need to have their beaks trimmed and it will stop. This is the first time I will be doing it. I am looking for some advice thank you.
Help me sex my new chick. I have some broody hens that are hatching out chicks, the first one hatched. Pictures 1,2,3 are of the chick- pictures 4 and 5 rooster daddy and the rest of the flock.
Does anyone have a pallet roadside stand to sell eggs? I plan on building one but have not built anything before. Picture examples would be nice to see different styles so I can make a plan. Please help. Thank you 🧡🐓
I am considering switching from pine shavings to sand bedding in my coop 8’x8’.
Any advice is appreciated.
Pros/cons?
What type of sand?
How deep?
How do I clean it?
Thanks!
There are ten pullets. I have them in a big wire cage with cardboard zip tied to the inside and lots of wood shavings. When I do move them to the coop I plan on moving the entire cage and they will stay in there for a week before I let them run with the hens.
I have six week old chicks that are getting too big for the house. I live in New York so it can still get below freezing at night and fluctuate between 20 and 60° during the day. At what age can chicks go outside without heat below 60°? I am hesitant to put a heat source in the chicken coop...
