Hi everyone I have six five week old hens and shut the red heat lamp off today. It was way too hot for it. Still too hot to turn back on, and probably will not. They are in my garage that is quite cool in there. Although I did put a floor fan in there to circulate the air around. I had the...

When I tell all of my friends out there how hard it has been for me to try and find a nice coop at a reasonable price - jeepers it's been a pain in the butt! I saw a very nice looking one and got excited. It was a 4x6 for 750.00 but they wanted 450.00 to ship it. What are they nuts? It's only...

Here is a good question for a beginner chicken owner ( I don't even have them yet ) But when they get old enough to fee range do they wander off very far or pretty much stick arounf your yard? My neighbors have a Golden lab that is usually fenced, but the other night I saw him out in their...
