I have one or 2 that Will occasionally do this. They don't peck me hard. when I looked down and say no firmly they just look at me like I'm crazy lol! I think they're asking for treats!

Looking for ideas on how to re-do our coop. Seems like a great way to maximize space!

I have been doing the same thing with my girls. I have three 19-month-old hens. And four three months old babies. They are sleeping together fine in the coop, but tend to fight over the food and water. I keep several stations around their free-range area so everybody is happy!

Welcome! I'm new to raising chickens, just this year. I have found so much support and great information on this site!

thanks, I've only had my flock for about a year. So happy that this transition is looking successful!

I rescued a hen that was abandoned 6 weeks ago. I have read a bunch of articles on here that have really helped me a lot. I have tried a number of different approaches. Finally got the other girls to allow her to sleep in the coop but not on the roost.this morning when I went to let them out, I...

Wonderful article! Gives me hope. I am currently about 3 weeks into trying to integrate a beautiful Barred Rock Hen into my small flock (4) She came from the exact same situation, abandonment by previous owner when they moved.

The girls are 10 months old now. Doing great!

2 of my 4 girls have white toenails, the other two have black ones. Their feather coloring varies as well. all four look different ranging from solid black to one that has a lot of golden brown feathers. My thought is that because they are a hybrid, and fairly new breed, it is very inconsistent.

I have 4 Asia Blacks. Almost 4 months old and 3/4 are over 5 lbs! All 4 are different in color & temperament. I'm a new chicken mom as well, so don't know what to "eggspect". They are so entertaining, & spoiled rotten!

My girls (4 Asian Blacks) are almost 4 months old now. How much should I add? Using 2 1 qt. waterers. How often is recommended?

Thank you! Good info for a first time Chicken mama. Our 4 girls are just about ready to go outside full time. They are about 7 weeks old now & outgrowing the brooder tank we have them in. We were wondering if we could compost pine shavings. Glad to learn this is OK!

Thank you!

New member just this week. My babies are about 3 weeks old & growing like weeds! Eating like it's their job, lol! Have 7 purchased at Tractor Supply. They seem to prefer cooler end of the brooder already. Temp under heat lamp is now mid 80's (F) Should I turn lamp off overnight to get them used...

New Chicken "Mom" in CT. The girls are about 3 weeks old, I think. ( Hubby got them at Tractor Supply) I'm hooked!
