We are building a large chicken tractor 16'x6' and need help with constructing the lever-wheel apparatus. We were using this diagram: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/695714/chicken-tractor-wheels but it's not working for us. We need it broken down step by step, and a materials list...
We currently have 4 baby chicks approx. 2.5 weeks old. I want to get 4 more nb's this week. Will I be able to put them all together at once, or will I have to introduce them slowly?
Does anyone use, or have you tried using a heating pad placed under the waterer to keep it from freezing? A friend recommended it. What is your experience with this method?
We recently inherited some chickens- 3 silkies, 1 Japanese Banty, and 2 Ameraucanas. Our coop was very make-shift, and today we FINALLY got the new hen house out and and fencing expanded:))
So, now that they have actual roosts inside their hen houses, how do I get them to use the roosts...
We just inherited 4 silkies and 2 Ameraucanas from a friend. We have seperate coops for both because they fight. We live on an acre and have neighbors right next door on both sides, so the possibility of allowing the chicks in our yard is pretty slim:( .....unless you have suggestions,lol...
