I'm having this problem too. =( It's awful, I feel so bad for my poor hen. I'm certainly no expert, but this is what I've done so far - mostly what I've seen recommended on this site:   I ordered a saddle for her, but it...

Hi everyone!   I am a complete building newbie, unfortunately. I have an eglu cube, which is fine for my 4 chickens, but the run is too small, so I am planning to build a walk-in run to attach the Cube to. I am in San...

I wouldn't recommend feeding your chickens chocolate. In dogs it can cause death because it contains theobromine, a methylxanthine that can cause hyperactivity, vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, and heart attacks. They're not sure that it...

OK, and I see that the picture isn't there so I'll try to post it here.   Thanks again!  

Hi everyone! Hoping to benefit from everyone's expertise here before setting up my run this weekend! I have 4  3-week old chicks that are quickly outgrowing their brooder. I got a used Eglu Cube that I'm planning to set up in my...

I'm a new chick raiser myself (just got four chicks yesterday!) so not really qualified to answer your questions, but I can tell you that my chicks (2-5 days old) are under the heat lamp most of the time and the thermometer reads 100....

Wow those look very secure! I don't think any predators would be able to get in there. Perfect for tractoring around if only I had more land (we just have a large backyard in a suburban area).   I think for now I will try out...

Hi everyone! Complete newbie here, hoping for some advice.   I just bought a used eglu cube with a 3-meter run. I don't have any chickens yet, they're next on the list. =) My question is, is the 9' run big enough for 3-4...
