I am needing to expand the small coop I have and need someone in the St. Petersburg, FL area that knows how to build coops and runs. Please contact me.

Well, she became quite the bully and because my area is small - decided to rehome her. The other two that are laying seem fine. I have someone coming to see if they can help me with a run and do a refab on this Tractor Supply hen house my husband purchase. Way way to small. I am letting them...

I have 3 eastereggs that are 22 weeks. Two are laying eggs and the third is not yet. The third is the last on pecking order and she started fighting with #2 this morning. I took #3 last on pecking order out and placed in a pen near the coop and the cage we have. Why would the smallest one be...

Thank you for the info.

All the messages are very helpful. I have one bird that is about 21 weeks that laid an egg that ws very thin and rubbery. Not in the nest either, probably under the roost. Anyway, I have given her more calcium the last few days. She does not act as if something is wrong. She is however...

I just purchased meely worms and want to know how many I should give the chickens. I have 3 about 22 weeks old. They just started laying recently and I have one that laid a soft shell and it broke. I think she had it while on the roost. I also think the other two are being a little mean to...

I need some advice on baby chicks. I have 3 easter egg chicks that are 18 weeks old. They are in the coop and have a limited area to a small run during the day. I wanted to get a couple more little chicks - and orpington and one that is black =- I forgot the name. When would I put them all...

Have 3 little girls that are 18 weeks old. They have not lad anything as yet. If I decided to get a couple of newborns how long would I keep the older chicks away from the babies and will the older birds hurt the new ones.

I am in St. Petersburg, Florida.

I asked about safeguard Equine dewormer for chickens but forgot to say how old mine 3 are. They are 15 weeks old and have not started laying. I am still feeding them chick feed. The farm store said to continue with chick feed until first egg or 20 weeks old. Does the dewormer harm the...

My farm store sold me Safe-guard Equine Dewormer. I question that this is for horses. How do I give it to chickens. It is a paste.

Well, I think they were born with worms. I have a very small coop my husband purchased from Tractor supply. Like a joke. I think they have that disease call cocchoia or how you spell it. Ihave spent $300.00 for a vet appointment because I need help with them. I am giving them chick feed, DE...
