WE STILL HAVE A CONTEST OPEN!!!!

1st PRIZE​

The Chicken Swing

Are you wondering if this thing is for real? We wondered the same thing, incredulous that chickens could actually enjoy swinging. We thought it was just a glorified roosting pole. We're happy to say that we were wrong! This thing is a revelation: chickens seem to love it. Take a look at the video at the site and decide for yourself!

Are you noticing any problems between them? If there is feather picking or bullying then the chicken getting picked on doesn't have much space to flee to.

I DID IT!!!! No bator issues and 6 babies, only 2 more pips out of 12 viable.........this is day 21..........pips have been there since yesterday early afternoon..........something tells me they may just not be strong babies. DID NOT open bator even once. Now I need to get the babies out........they're all over the place...

That is great. Why don't you think that they will be strong babies?

No one out yet this morning, but the barnvelders, has also pipped for a total of 3 so far!

Have a 4x3x4 chicken coop 3 nest boxes hanging out the back and a Run that's 3x10 how many birds can I fit.??? Some please help

Here's the way my chicken math works....you can have twice as many bantams as lf, so fill it up with little chickens. When you realize they are over crowded, build a second and third coop. See?

thats what I do! I never once figured space/needs out

if it gets too stinky and I cant keep up with cleaning it, I need another coop yes???

See that's how I do it too! So long as there's no fighting outside normal pecking order stuff it was cool with me.

I don't think I ever posted a photo of my babies that hatched.

So out of 11 that went into lock down (5 BCM, 6 d'uccle), 6 hatched total. Most of the d'Uccle were shrink wrapped . I had 2 assists if i remember right. One of the D'uccle chicks had curled toes and other issues I'm sure. When we put "booties" on it, instead of trying to walk/be mobile, it would just fall over and lay there, not try and move. My husband tried nursing it/giving it sugar water/electrolyte water, etc. It wouldn't eat. After 2 days it passed. So down to 5 from 11. Not bad still. BUT we have 1 BCM with RSS/failure to thrive or some such. Eats, drinks, and is merry, just the size of a 2-3 day old instead of a 2 week old. Speedy the D'uccle is starting to get bigger than Squeaker (fka Siren) now. And Squeaker's wing feathers are finally starting to come in!
