    May need to rehome 8 hens due to neighbors

    Just putting it out there now. We’ve had complaints to our township about having chickens. If we lose our case, I want to rehome them with someone who raises laying hens, not for butchering or something weird. We’re located in south eastern PA, about 15 miles outside of Philadelphia PA. Any...

    When to Move to Coop

    Hello, all! My family and I are new to chickens, and we're trying to figure out when to move them to the coop. We have three chickens that we got through a farm store, so while we know roughly how old they are, we don't know for sure. One (a Delaware) is quite large (possibly too large for the...

    Moving quail chicks outside in the winter

    I live in N VA and the lows at night can get into the twenties. My pen outside is 8x6x5ft tall, on the ground, using straw as a deep litter method for the winter. Half is covered by a tarp for rain and there is a "coop" box that is shielded from the elements (straw deep litter too). I have 12...

    My duck has laid her eggs in the rabbit burrow...

    She’s laid I don’t know how many but she’s been sitting on them for five days. I’ve stuck my phone on a selfie stick down there and can see four but can’t see anymore as the angles aren’t good. Should I get them out of there and bring her in to nest in a box or would it just disturb her? Should...

    My Broody Hen Won't Accept her new Placement

    hello everyone about a week and a half ago it became obvious that my hen Aurum was broody. She had made her own little nesting spot in the hosta plants by our hot-tub, and was found laying on 10 eggs. She was broody last year, choosing the coop as her nesting spot, but we had to break her out...

    Integrating flock/sleeping situation

    We have a flock of 4 4-year-olds (originally 6, but 2 died in the last year) who are still laying regularly in our backyard coop and also have 6 6-week-olds (4 hens, 1 banty hen, 1 surprise banty rooster) that will be moving out of our enclosed porch (ugh--I had forgotten how dusty and messy...

    Help! Daily routine? Coop maintenance?

    So recently I moved my chicks into the coop, it's not 100% ready yet but I'm working towards it. I've got to put a rooster in there and make a hole so they can get in and out when they want. They have a nest, food, water and pine shavings. I try to let them out every day for about five hours or...
