Oh by the way the chicken coop is on the other side of my property not near the neighbor.

I have three free range Narragansett's. Two hens and a tom. I got them as adolescents and have had them for about 5 months. I live out in the country on five acres. On three sides of me there are hundreds of acres of fields and woods. On the other side of me is my only neighbor about 400 yards...

Well I opened the chicken door and even though the girls didn't go out in the snow I think their sounds got the turkeys to come back. A couple of hours after I opened the door the turkeys were back in their run all by themselves and I ran out and closed them up. Thanks for the responses.

I have two Narragansetts that are about eight months old. I have only had them about six weeks. I have kept them in an enclosed run with a roost and covering to product them from the rain, snow and wind. On occasion I would let them out to free range with the chickens and when the chickens would...

I have ten hens that were hatched in April of this year. Three Dominiques, three Silver Laced Wyandottes, three Buffs, and an Americauna. This morning I went out to feed and saw one of my Dominques has this going on with her neck and head. These are my first Chickens ever so I if it is an issue...

No older birds this is our first foray into the world of chickens. No bloody stools either. This poor little girl just seems out of sorts from the others. I have tried to watch to see if she is being bullied around by the others and she is pushed aside sometimes because of her size but that is...

Sorry I tried doing a search to find the answer but after reading through pages of posts I can't seem to find what I was looking for. I have eleven chicks that are ten days old. One is smaller than the others. She seems to stand off by herself and sleep a lot and sometimes will not open one...

Meyer does a special called a Meyer Meal Maker. It is a free chick that they offer on their site and through their catalog. Meyer Meal Maker They ask that you raise it to laying or butchering age and then donate the eggs or meat to a needy local family or charity.

Ordered from Meyer weeks ago for delivery this week. The chicks shipped yesterday and the local post office called today at 1:30pm that they were here. Introduced each one to the water and they drank right up, then to the chick starter and they have been eating like crazy! They all seem in...

Thanks for the quick replies. Here are pics of my setup. Just getting nervous since this storm hit and don't want the kids to wake up in a couple of days all excited to see chicks and have them find chickcicles instead.

Eleven chicks are coming in the mail tomorrow and we are getting hit by this snow storm. I built a 2'x4' brooder in our mud room. It is not heated but out of the wind and I have a space heater on to raise the temp. I have a heat lamp setup in the brooder and a thermometer directly under the lamp...
