    Free range chickens with fence?

    The last ones we had, we gave to a friend so I still get to see them, and three of them fly over the 6 ft fence they have around their run, two of those three are Aeuracanas (sp?) and one is a white rock. So I wasn't sure if 4 ft would be enough, but I am thinking with a large enough area and a...

    Free range chickens with fence?

    How high would a fence need to be to prevent chickens from jumping over? We had to get rid of our chickens this year (just before they started laying) b/c the neighbor complained, now they are changing the zoning so I am getting ready to get chickens again in the spring. I liked having them...

    Where Do I start?

    HELP! Bird acts like it can't stand up!

    We have come to the conclusion the chick was possibly being lazy. It seems to walk around fine, it also gets up on the roost fine, and even flys fine (or tries to anyway, there is a top on the brooder) and now another one was doing it, I think maybe it could be dust bathing? They seem to roll...

    HELP! Bird acts like it can't stand up!

    One of our leghorns, that are 10 days old and fine up to this point, is acting like it can't stand up. When I open the brooder, it jumps up and moves around but when it lays done it falls to it's side and can't lay down upright, any ideas???

    free range

    How do you teach a chicken not to run away, or run into the street? We live out in no mans land, but we still live close to the road, and cars go by very fast (even though the speed limit is 25mph)

    HELP!!!! Birds trying to get through kennel/brooder wires!

    I have cardboard around the kennel and it is about 12 in high, and I put two sticks for roosting, but they don't want anything to do with them lol, she could just as easily jump up on the perch to get away from the new one but no she has to be difficult and try to escape.
