I will soon be introducing 6 new ones to my layer flock ( a little over a year old), my question is when the new ones join them do I need to feed them all chick starter and stop with the layer feed until the new ones are laying? I think I read somewhere that feeding layer feed when they are...
The boys woke up just in time to watch the first chick emerge from its shell, they were so excited! Two more are pipped and rocking. I have to go to work from 11-3 and so don't want to, would much rather stay here and watch these cuties hatch.
So very excited here! Attempting our first hatch, today is day 20 and we have cheeping and 2 eggs that are pipped ( I think that is what you would call it). We can hardly wait to see how many of these little darlings hatch out!
Hello all! I have a question about feeding a deer heart and liver to my chickens, can I and do I need to boil them first or can they have them raw? I appreciate any answers, thanks.
Happy Birthday Teeville
Thinking good thoughts for you today Raz.
Lost one hen last week , she had a leg injury and I think she just was not not able to get enough to drink. She was my youngests. He cried a little then asked if we could dig her a grave. He buried her himself and then...
Hello all! Getting 4-5 eggs a day now and am loving fresh eggs for breakfast everyday. Have a young one with a mostly useless leg, am thinking we are going to have to cull her. Am not looking forward to this as it will be the first time we have had to do this.
Was woken by the sound of many coyotes last night about 3:30, told my DH need to do something about them. They woke my oldest (10) also, he came into our room and said they sound scary and cool all at the same time.
One of my hens is laying greenish eggs.
