    Deep Litter composting/dry conditions

    I have a deep litter question and this seems like the most recent, relevant post. I read in another thread that some people throw scratch out to encourage the chickens to help stir it up. My initial thought was that would be throwing their food into their litter. Is there any concern about...

    Quote: Thanks. I like how you worded it; "A lovely flock of barnyard crosses." Is there any doubt with these four roosters? I think I want to go ahead a get rid of them because a couple of them are alredy trying to bully another hen we recently got and I don't have any need for them anyway...

    new basic coop

    Our newly built, inexpensive, basic coop with 20 ft run. We do plan on them free-ranging during the day and cooped up at night. Basically 4'x8'x4', set 2.5' off the ground. I got the plywood from work, they were disposing of it. A scrap piece of vinyl floor from Lowes. I later installed...

    Quote: I am confused on the barred rocks. Based on size and combs, one looks clearly like a rooster compared to the other one. But they are exactly the same color. Could this have something to do with them not being pure bred?

    They came from a mixed flock. You are probably right on both counts though because the only local supply store to the guy I got them from is a Tractor Supply.

    New to chickens. Got some chicks from a friend and recently finished a coop. Have 6 chicks about 9 weeks, unfortunately I think I only have 2 hens in the bunch. So we are going to a local farm that has some chickens for sale and will buy a few 1 year olds. We have a mixed flock, the only 2 I...

    I got these 6 chicks from a friend about 6 weeks ago, they were 3 weeks old then. Their son hatched them as a school project. I am new to chickens and they are only 9 weeks old, but I think 4 of them are roosters and only 2 hens. Am I right? And if you recognize the breed you can help me out...
