Hey guys! I have four chicks, two Jersey giants around 4 weeks old and 2 barred Plymouth rocks around 3 weeks old. Whenever I bring them outside, they flap around and bum rush each other and fly at each other constantly. Is this normal? It’s mostly a Plymouth Rock chick that I think may be a...

Oops sorry, that’s my alt account for chickens

No, thank you for the concern, but they have been given a great home

Hello! We bought a coop design, but ended up buying another one instead. Is anyone interested?

Good to know! Thankfully, we live in a suburban area, and the coop will be positioned right next to the garage, but your right! Better safe than sorry.

Got it! The coop we are picking up Sunday has a large enclosed run, I think 9 feet by 5, so they will have plenty of room! I think I will start with them snuggled in a blanket on our porch just to get them accustomed to the outside

Got it! I have two options, a smaller caged area that I can fit in, or a cat mesh tent.

When I used to own quail, they would be terrified of my hand and would dart around every time I was near them, but these chickens are just curious, and unless I made a sudden movement, they would stay near me. But I do think the quail are getting a bit restless. Any...

Lol, I think they know that they won't be able to stop me

That would be true if my parents didn't make me swear to not ask for any more chickens or poultry :)

thanks so much for taking the time to respond! It ended up that we got 4 chicks, 2 jersey giants and 2 barred Plymouth rocks due to availability! The Plymouth rocks were a couple of days old while the jersey giants were closer to a week. They were so adorable! They have gotten a long great and...

I will raise it, and don’t worry, we will stop and get a thermometer

Yes, but right now they are all under jt

He’s the one in the middle

Right now he is sleeping

I doubt it as the rest seem to be doing fine
