Have questions about raising chickens, whether for showing, eggs, meat or as pets? We’re here to help! Get expert advice on everything from setting up your coop to keeping your flock healthy.
Starting your own backyard chicken coop can be a rewarding experience! First, you’ll need a secure and comfortable coop to protect your flock from predators and the elements. Make sure it has enough space for your chickens to move around, roosting bars for sleeping and nesting boxes for laying eggs. You’ll also need an enclosed outdoor area where your chickens can roam and forage safely. A balanced diet is crucial, so provide a quality chicken feed supplemented with fresh fruits, vegetables and grit. Regular cleaning of the coop and run is essential to maintain hygiene and prevent disease. Our team can provide detailed advice on coop design, feeding and general chicken care to help you get started.
It’s important to be vigilant for any signs that your chickens might be unwell. Some common things to look out for include changes in their behaviour, such as decreased appetite, lethargy or isolating themselves from the flock. Physical signs can include weight loss, ruffled feathers, sneezing, coughing, discharge from the eyes or nostrils, or changes in their droppings. Also, pay attention to their breathing and posture. If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to consult our team or a vet for advice. Early intervention can make a big difference in treating illnesses and preventing them from spreading to the rest of your flock.
An egg production decline can be concerning, but there are several possible reasons. As chickens age, they naturally lay fewer eggs. Other possible causes include shorter daylight hours in winter, moulting (where they shed and regrow feathers), stress from environmental changes, overcrowding, or predators. Ensure your chooks have a balanced diet with enough protein and calcium and check for any signs of illness. If you’re still concerned, our team can help you identify the cause and recommend solutions.
Happy chickens are healthy and productive chickens! Provide plenty of space for them to roam and forage, and offer environmental enrichment like dust baths, perches and hanging treats. Consider adding chicken-friendly toys like treat balls or swings. Social interaction is also important, so spend time with your chickens and observe their natural behaviours. A stimulated flock will be more productive and less prone to stress-related problems.
It’s important to consider factors like temperament, space requirements and your purpose for raising chickens. Some breeds, like Silkies and Orpingtons, are known for their docile nature and make good pets, while others, like Rhode Island Reds and Leghorns, are excellent egg layers. If you’re interested in meat production, consider breeds like Cornish Cross or Brahma. Generally, it’s best to avoid mixing aggressive breeds with docile ones. As for roosters, one rooster is usually enough for a flock of 10-12 hens. Too many roosters can lead to a fighting, frenzied flock. Contact our crew for more specific advice on breed compatibility and flock dynamics.
