They’re allowed to free range on an acre. It’s primarily a duck coopbut there’s three chickens. I put roosting bars in there for the chickens so they don’t have to stay on the ground and I’m in the process of turning an old rabbit hutch into a small chicken coop. Unfortunately it’s been snowing...

Pretty good ventilation, there’s gaps all the way around the coop along the top from the pallets that I covered with wire, there’s also a window and some holes in the coop here and there and the back door is left open all day. Six ducks one of the six is a drake but he’s very docile he’s a...

they’ve been going in early since it started snowing sometimes they even stay in the coop during the day. I think once the leaves come back in the tree they might stop roosting there

He is a bully rooster, I believe he’s even mounting the ducks due to missing feather at the back of their necks. He’s also turned aggressive towards us, we will be eating him once we get a replacement rooster. I don’t have a picture of the inside but here’s our funny looking scrap coop it’s...

I'm not sure, if you're talking predator I doubt it, they used to go into the coop just fine at night but then they realized the tree was easy to climb after the leaves fell off.

A little background. We live in Iowa so we don't get snakes, but we get raccoons, hawks, and possums, and the occasional Fox or coyote. I personally haven't experienced predators since I've had them other than a hawk attack and my neighbor mentioned a fox in the neighboring yard but I never saw...

Hey guys not sure if this goes here or flock management but I’m having a dilemma here. My chickens have stopped going in the coop at night since the leaves on the trees have fallen. Instead they roost in our mullberry tree that's in the run. I'll post a picture. It takes a while to get all 4 out...
