would you please contact me in the spring when you have female blue chicks available. [email protected]

I'm having this problem too, my hens are just plain mean and make bloody spots on my legs whenever I go into the run, even when I give them treats, which I do every time. It's making me mad and I've started thumping them, I'm not seeing any solutions here and would love to figure out how to...

thanks for replying..... I typed in vinca, which is it's latin name and someone said it would be ok, I have sooo much of it because once it established it goes crazy. I'll probably rip some of it out just in case. Again thanks for the reply.

No one answered the question as to whether virginia creeper is ok for chickens, I plan on building an enclosure in a spot that is full of virginia creeper.

Thanks for the list!!!!!

Ok thanks, I'll look for that info.

Thanks for the welcome, I've been reading this thread till my brain is about to explode, but I sure have learned alot!!!!!! I don't have chicks yet, I need to get a coop up and have my girls all picked out, in the mean time I'm learning everything I can. My question now is about scratch, what...

I wouldn't feed "old roy" my vet says that kills animals, gives them cancer
