Okay so - I have 6 hens. 3 chicks, two are 2 months old, the other is 1.5 months old.
I think the barred rock will be a rooster. My new coop is finished and now I'm not sure what to do.
How do keep the big girls from eating the little ones medicated food? How long do they need the medicated food, and how do I keep the little ones from eating the big girls food, and if the barred rock ends up to be a rooster, how do I keep him from eating the layer crumbles?
This whole food thing just became complicated when the coop was complete today. I have them all in there together for the first time - previously I had the small ones in a locked small coop at night, and the big girls just free ranged and had a make shift TSC coop that they squeezed into.
So how do you guys keep em separate?
