Hey All,
So my grandma has some chickens! She started out with an ameraucana chicken and this big black one.
We ended up getting her some more: a delaware, leghorn, and a silver laced silver wyandotte.
The five of them are doing just fine.
Now she really wanted a red chicken so I surprised her with a RIR yesterday. However, all the chickens are picking on her. Keep in mind the ameraucana and the big black are fully grown. The delaware, leghorn, and silver w are about 6 months old and the RIR is a year old.
How do we safely integrate her in?
Also, the koop my uncle and I built doesn't have a roost. What's the purpose of one?
Also... how do we control where the chickens lay eggs if we let them out all day?
Thanks!
