That's a great question. I was wondering that myself. My 4 girls are in a dirt floor coop/run that I sparsely cover with shavings to help keep it clean. I clean out the shavings once a week and add fresh. They also have a sand/dirt bath pan in there that I am pretty sure they eat as well. Are...

When I add more chicks to my flock they will be @ 6-8 months apart. Will that be too big of an age difference? I have 4 five week old pullets right now. I would like a flock of around 8 at some point, but don't want them all the same age so that they won't all stop laying @ the same time. My...

Jasper/Emmet: are their names what I think they are? lol

Here's Alice. The local feed store said she was an Ameraucana, but you never know Alice- day I got her. I figure she is about a week old based on feathering. First adventure outside- April 1, 2012. @ 2 weeks old Alice @ 3 weeks old
