My chickens here free range, but go in their coop at night. I have a little BB Red hen that quit laying eggs in the coop (laying them some place outside) Then on July 4th she no longer went in the coop at night to be locked up and stayed out all night. I assumed she was sitting on her eggs some...
Yeah, I didn't know what to expect. Right now they are just make light peeping and slight giggle chatter (if that's what you' call it) noises. They aren't chicks, but about 8-10 weeks now. I guess he just hasn't found his voice yet.
I dropped him off today. I'll give it a few days and ask how the transition to his new diggs are working out. I told him to keep the Rooster in the coop for a few days before letting him roam the property. That way he knows where the food and water is located at, and can establish a new home...

Well, I went out to gather eggs this morning , and it’s 9 degrees outside today. It’s a balmy 25 degrees inside the chicken coop. I checked the temperature of the water bottle, now with a 25 watt bulb installed in the base. And the water is at a warm 41 degrees. So no frozen water for the...
