SJudd -- We had a scare last night when we couldn't find one of our 16-week pullets. I was relieved to find her in the run this morning, waiting to get into the coop, so she must have been high up in a tree where we couldn't see her! So - out came the scissors. Used the diagram as posted...

I'm totally new to this but I had 5 pullets about 10 weeks old that were ready for the coop before 2 (1 roo, 1 still unknown) 6 week chicks. 1 of the younger chicks also has a bum leg, so needs special attention. I put the roo in the run with the big girls and when he seemed to be getting a...

My sister sent me this link - we just got chicks this spring and are building the coop. She thought this might be useful. I thought some of you might get a chuckle. I hope I'm not breaking any rules posting this - I read through them and think it is ok - I'm NOT advertising this! In...

Ok - am brand new to posting but have been lurking since getting our new chicks last Friday. 6 girls from Tractor Supply. 5 are thriving. One died the first day and was replaced. The replacement chickie was fine - a little smaller but probably a day younger than the others. Then 2 nights...
