    Bully Hen Guarding Coop!

    I have a hen in my flock who always sleeps near the door of the coop. She keeps attacking any other hen who tries to go in at night and now i'm finding hens trying to sleep all over the run! Does anyone have any advice for stopping this behaviour?

    Brooder to coop

    Hi! I’m in central Florida and the temperature is usually mid to high 80s in the day and in the 60s at night. My chickens are 4 and 5 weeks. Is it safe to move them from indoors to their outside coop?

    Feeding at night ?

    So we’re about to move our girls out to their coop in the next week or two. Right now in their brooder they free feed. We mix up a little bit of their crumble and water 2-3x a day, otherwise they have a feeder of the same crumble, just dry, all day. I feel silly asking this question but I...

    Geese & getting along with ducks

    Ok so I received two 3 year old Embden geese about 2 weeks ago. They are mated for life. We got them to deter air predators as we’ve had quite the issue with them this year and so far, they have been doing a good job. We are also keen on them to alert us if there is anybody on our property as we...

    Opinions on Predator-Proofing

    Hi, all! I have a pre-fab coop from Tractor Supply that I plan on using until I’m able to complete my long-term goal of building my own coop and run. Now that it’s built and painted, the next step is predator-proofing. Originally I wanted to bury hardware cloth to deter digging predators...

    10 week old chicks stay down in their run at night

    Hello, we're 1st year chicken raisers/owners and it's been great fun so far. We have 6 sikies and we moved them to their coop about 3-4 days ago and they stay in the run after dusk and haven't seemed to figure out that they need to go upstairs to their roost. We have been nudging them to get...

    I am beaming with Pride!

    I began the transition from inside brooder to outside coop this week. I just couldn't stand them in the house anymore and they looked so sad and bored. So Friday afternoon, I put them in the outside pen as usual and let them wander around until dusk. The door between the coop and run has been...
