They don't have a momma hen. And they're too big for her anyways.

It's not possible to build something. And I didn't say in the coop, I said in the enclosed carport.

We were unexpectedly awarded chicks by one of our broody hens on Thanksgiving. They are now 5 weeks old. We weren't setup to brood chicks so we quickly went to lowes and got a 75 gallon container and heat lamp. They are now quite crowded in the container. Only problem is temps outside are highs...

Need a pic.

Could you post a pic? Not sure what you mean about you having a rooster but gather the eggs within hours.

Then we both be standing still in the dark LOL. I kid I know what you mean

Yeah my chickens aren't sitting quietly on a scale while I perform photography.

Lol none of my chickens are near 11 pounds. And you have so over that? I cant keep a chicken still enough for a kitchen scale.

Curious how most of yall accurately weigh your birds? For dosage purposes.

Naw. I got a machete.

Thanks everyone for the replies

Baby aspirin. Interesting

Oh yeah. And scissors. Tape.

I have no real issues at the moment. Just curious what the average chicken owners keeps stock of. So what you keep stocked in your chicken medicine cabinet? Ours: Bandages Gauze Neosporin Wormer Permethrin Vetrx Bluekote Electrolytes I maybe missing a few items.
