If you are using the light as a heat source then the light can be removed when they are fully feathered at about 6 weeks or when the temperature in the brooder box equals the temperature outside. 60F is a suitable temperature to sustain a chick older than 6 weeks.
Broiler chickens. But really, any kind of chicken, provided they're old and big enough.
You can put them together right when the chicks are old enough to go in the coop. They will meet the other chickens when they are ready.
NO
Chickens can typically be mixed together once they are fully feathered, usually around 8-12 weeks old. It is important to closely monitor the introduction process to prevent any aggression or bullying within the flock. Make sure there is enough space, resources, and hideouts for the chickens to establish a pecking order peacefully.
they are both no kidding. in the summer if they are in a pen and not getting enough greens they will peck at eachothers butts. my chickens do so we have to give them enough greens in the summertime.
Chickens may live in hutchs, they dont need to run as long as the hutch is big enough for the amount of chickens you own.
strangely enough.. they grow on chickens.
As long as the chicken cage has a high enough roof, a galah can certainly live in the same area as chickens.
No, owls can't get in there(the ones big enough to eat chickens) but foxes and cats most definitely can.
is it winter?? that is probably why they are not laying. or they dont have enough nutrients.
Because the chicken did not have enough protein or calcium.
Anyone in the household can light it, as long as they are old enough to handle candles.
