    Mixed Flock - What to Feed

    Thank you so very much for responding! I had this feeling it was time to switch but I'm still learning. I mean they are thriving and spoiled LOL but I want to make sure I'm doing the right things! I have to buy a new bag this weekend so I was looking for some reassurance I guess. I know some...

    Mixed Flock - What to Feed

    Ok I have 1 hen that is already laying, one that is 15 1/2 weeks, and 3 hens that are about 12 weeks. I've been giving them chick/grower feed, putting some Oyster Shells in there for the laying hen, and various treats sporadically. Since I have another chick coming up on laying soon, is it ok...

    Chicks Staying in Coop vs Being Outside

    Question. I have 1 grown hen, 1 chick about 14 weeks, and 3 about 11 weeks. The last week my grown hen has stopped laying for about 4-5 days which is unlike her. I've also noticed that all 4 of the younger chicks have been spending more time inside the coop instead of out in the run like they...

    Shelless egg?

    My hens don't love the oyster shell either. I haven't had any issues yet but I've been keeping an eye on it! Good luck!

    Chicks Pecking 😢

    Are they all the same age? They do start to assert a pecking order as they get older. However, they usually don't go to this extreme. I also agree that if they are a lot of them in a small space it may cause boredom and more issues. Are you sure they are all hens as well? I just turned my...

    Got 4 yr old chickens about 2 months ago and only one of them has been laying

    I got 3 grown hens from someone. One didn't take long to start laying. The 2nd one took probably 2 months. My last one, (a leghorn) I just finally just got my first egg from! It took her 3 months to get comfortable, and she was also spoiled. Now she lays every day/every other. It's hard...

    Hen or Roo Game!!

    Ahh that's what I'm thinking. When we hatched them I thought we had Isa Browns so I "knew" they had to be hens since they were brown when hatched. The two big ones have also become more aggressive and really had me questioning it

    Hen or Roo Game!!

    So when I hatched my babies I was told they were Isa Brown's so I knew I had hens. Well I asked the lady I got them from and she said rooster was Rhode Island Reds (because I don't think they look like Isa Brown's) Well now I'm afraid I have Henrietta might be a Henry and Kit is a boy as well...

    Thoughts on integrating chicks with pullets (7 week difference).

    I've found this interesting as I have 2 groups of chicks that are 4 weeks apart. I put my older ones (9 weeks) out in their coop a couple of weeks ago. My little ones are 5 weeks so I'm going to wait another week or two before I put them out. I had some people tell me just to put them...

    Older Leghorn??

    I literally cannot believe I posted about this this morning and now I have an egg!! I'm beyond ecstatic! And I've been trying to make it to the store for 2 days now to try some oyster shells! I'm for sure going tonight. And I think I'm going to get some fake eggs to set in the laying boxes...

    Older Leghorn??

    So I can't even believe I'm writing this, but she ACTUALLY laid her FIRST EGG for me when I just checked 😁😁. Bad news is the younger chicks (9-10 weeks old) were pecking at it and broke it open! 😭 So what on Earth do I do about that? She's in with 3 young chicks and her

    Older Leghorn??

    I guess I don't know what else to do to make her feel safe :(. I've even put her into a different coop with some younger chicks so she wouldn't be picked on or anything. After 3 months I would have thought she'd lay at least 1 egg by now. Do you have any suggestions?
