I had one young roo and a pullet killed today. They were free ranging right in front of their tractor. My girlfriend found the chickens at 2pm and the bodies were stacked on top of each other. The chicken on the bottom was mostly eaten. All that was left was a leg and the hip bone, pieces of the...

Hello all, I believe i know the answer to my questions but i thought i would check on here to see what you guys say. Can ACV be mixed in my chickens water with antibiotics or will the acv kill the antibiotics in the water? What about fermented feed? If chickens are on antibiotic water and are...

I don't mean what ingredients are in it. I mean when you are actually making it and mixing all the grains together how do you mix it all up? I would think buying in seperate ingredients 50-100lb bags you would make at least 100 lbs at a time but thats a lot of feed to try to stir or shake up, so...

I built a chicken tractor to protect my girlfriends silkies and some other juvenile chickens my broody hens hatched. I used 2x4 wire because it is strong and that is what i had on hand. The problem is only half of her silkies will go up the ramp into the enclosed part. The other half huttle...

I already have a pressure regulator to use with the watering nipples, but i wonder if one is enough since the nipples require only 1 PSI and i need about 32 or so feet of pipeing which will include a 6-7 ft vertical rise. I'm thinking about building the waterer for the chickens with 6 nipples...

I built my first chicken tractor and i need help figuring out the best way to pull it. I put some 8" or 10" pneumatic tires in the front and have 2 eye bolts in the back. i hooked a strap to the two eye bolts and was using that to drag it with the 4 wheeler but my land is too uneven to pull it...

This is my first try at building a chicken tractor.It is 8ftx8ft. Before i was done framing i found some flaws and other ways to build it that would have been better and im really not too great at figuring out what angles to cut the wood but i think i did a really good job. i reinforced the crap...

I have 200ft of 2x4 no climb horse fencing that is 60" tall. The chickens have killed all the grass and vegetation in their run so i would like to triple its size. Buying another 400ft of no climb horse fencing is just too expensive. Would i be able to expand the chicken yard using only electric...

Hello, I just went into the coop and found one of my partridge rocks on the coop floor acting very strange. She keeps turning her head like she is looking at the ground (one eye facing the ground, one eye facing the ceiling) and every now and then it looks like her neck vibrates or shakes...
