    introducing chicks to one Hen

    Hmm, I do let them in the run later in the day when I let the hen out to free range. So they get use to the space, water and food. I might be able to figure something out with a crate for the bigger hen and see how that goes. She loses her shit when she's free ranging and sees them in the run...

    introducing chicks to one Hen

    The chicks are in the run all day with the hen in a 3x4 area and she has the rest of the run aprox 4x10 at night I bring them in. The coop cant hold a crate, my crate is to big and a small one would be to tight for them. I have been keeping them with her everyday for a week and a half.

She was alone to heal and babies were not big enough to integrate. Babies are almost 8 weeks and I have been putting them in the run with...

    Polish chicken getting picked on.

    Thank you, I hope I wont have to seperate her. They never have pecked at her crest before. I might try to trim her crest and see if it helps.

    how often do they lay?

    Hi, I have a Wyandotte that laid her first egg, two days in a row. I haven't had another egg since. She's? the only one laying right now, is this normal to not have her lay another? Today will be 4 days so far no egg in box or anywhere else in run. I'm new to this.

    ~The Broody Thread~

    I'm new to raising chickens and was wondering what you give a broody hen if you don't have eggs to hatch? We aren't planning on hatching eggs.
