Great article and excellent advice.

This is interesting. But I don't see any outside, fresh air places in your set up?

I'm not an expert, but my initial reaction was "no." Just the size and weight of a pig next to a chicken feels really unsafe. It would seem they could get stepped on. But, I think you need to find a safer way to give your chickens more room. It could be a tragedy.

I also have a chicken yard covered all around with HWC with two coops inside. I don't close the doors to the coop, and some of my girls sleep on top of the coop. The HWC is strong enough to keep any predators outside. Been 10 years and no problems.

I totally understand your dilemma. You have to follow your heart. I'd feel the same way.

No sure. Could be a fat lump. Watch her and see how she develops. I once adopted a chick that had a deformed leg. She is doing fine.

I'm not sure what that means. Do you have a vet that you can consult with?

Fantastic. Congratulations. Many fun days ahead. Just be sure you keep your chickens protected from predators.

Welcome. Great place for backyard chicken people

I'm so sorry. It doesn't sound like she is doing well. I understand you want everything you can to keep her alive, but you may have to let her go. Keep doing what you are doing and she if it makes a difference.

It's common for the first few eggs to be smaller. They should get larger over time.

I like a mixed group of chickens that offer different color eggs.

This is an excellent and well-illustrated article. Thank you so much
