Ok, thanks. I'll try to be patient. :) Fortunately it hasn't been too hot here so I think I can rule that out. Poor girls.

Our neighbors dogs got into our yard and killed 8 of our chickens. I have 6 hens left but I'm only getting 2 eggs a day sometimes none. I figured they were just traumatized but I'm wondering how long this is going to last. It had been over a week. If anyone has any thoughts I would appreciate...

Interesting. Well who knows. Maybe I don't know what breed I'm actually working with! They were given to me so I'm not 100% sure. Thanks for the input. :)

Thank you! I'll definitely search for that page. :)

Ok, not sure if this is the right place for this questions, bust here I go anyway. :) from what I understand a California white is a cross between a California grey rooster and a white leghorn hen. I have. California white rooster and several hens. When you breed a California white with a...

Thanks for your opinion.

I would love to do Scratch and Peck. I can't get it here though. It's another thing I could get from azure standard. :(

I'm sorry, maybe I posted on the wrong thread. I'm not looking to debate homemade feed. I'm looking for like minded people who choose to use a homemade mix and have an opinion on the question I asked. I do not appreciate being told the health of my animals isn't of importance to me simply...

What do you think is healthier, non organic homemade mix or organic pre mix from the feed store. After a lot of thought and research I have determined that for my flock I feel like a homemade soy free feed is the best. I have found several recipes I'm comfortable with but am just not able to...

Ok, odd request here. Anyone have a really nice rooster who would be willing to sell me some hatching eggs? I'm not looking to breed them to perfection, and I can't afford to pay for anyone's prize eggs. I just really love this breed. They are so beautiful and I think the dark eggs are so fun. I...

Hello friends! I have an egg situation that I'm not sure what to make of. The hen that laid this does lay smaller eggs but this is tiny! She was injured by a dog about a month ago but had recover and laid normal sized eggs for at least a week before this one. Any ideas what on earth? Thanks!

It's about 12" deep, 9" tall and 14" wide. I think you're right. 12" square would be much better. That's an interesting idea. I might give it a try. Thanks. :) what I'm really thinking of doing is removing a shelf and makin 4 spots. We'll see how difficult that is I guess!

I have this old cabinet that came in my coop. I think the people who had it before had pigeons? Each section is only 9" high and I'm afraid that might not be enough room. Plus I was wanting to put a bit of a lip on there to keep the bedding in. I know they would still fit but it might be a...

WOW! That is certainly far more complicated than I imagined. I honestly have no clue how it all played out. I'm posting a pic of him when he was little just so you can see for yourself. Glad to know the other seems to be a pullet. I would have cried if I didn't get any pretty egg layers out...

That would be awesome! I'm not in the market just yet, but I would really like to buy some from you eventually. I had a ton of baby cereal that I decided to use. Turns out oats are indeed not the best option. It was a giant pain to sift/separate the meal worms from the oats and I wasn't able...
