0 I've been getting 0. I've had to buy eggs two e now. My family got used to eating eggs all the time. I'm so bummed. I have 5 hens. They are 2 1/2 years old. Is it over or they just taking a break? Lol. Now I just have feathered pets, I guess. My son loves them.

Oops. We don't have quite 2 acres and I know the coop is too close to the property line. But it's been 2 1/2 years and no complaints yet. Thanks though.

Short term, birds should be fine, they will eat most anything. Long term, unless they have a complete diet nutritionally, their egg production, and health will suffer. Thanks for the info. We went the next day and got the regular food. Just didn't want them to go without until we could get...

We've been getting 8 daily. One for each hen.

We have 3 Rhode island red roosters. I carried one for 5 blocks after he escaped last month. Of course it took me 24 hours to find him (he doesn't crow for some reason) and then an hour to catch him!!! Our other rooster, Penguin, is being a jerk. He constantly goes after the one hen. The...

Glad I found this thread. We ran out of chicken food yesterday and tractor supply and anyway were both closed. So we stopped at the pet store and picked up cracked corn and meal worms to get us through.

Lol to funny. I guess they are ok. My husband gets worried and tells us we shouldn't let them out in the run. But I figure if it was to cold for them they would stay in the coop.

Thanks for the tips. I worry that our coops ate to drafty. The original coop is better than the new add on. We just slapped it together. It is 4 degrees now. Wind chill supposed to be -20' I'm in Pennsylvania.

Ok, I guess it's not that cold yet. It's 22 degrees now, but it's supposed to go down to 4 on Thursday.

The temperature is about 5-10 degrees. We put some plastic around parts of the coop and put hay in both coops. But I'm still worried about our chickens. We've been feeding them extra as well. What else can we do? I thought about putting a light bulb in there, but hesitate for 2 reasons...

A pic is a great idea.

They were hatched in March.

I looked up the codes and know I'm allowed to have chickens. But now I'm worried about the noise ordinance. We aren't allowed to have the ice cream truck in my town because of the noise ordinance. Nobody has complained yet. But we got a new neighbor in the house closest to my chicken co-op...

My husband heard mine at 2 am once. I usually don't hear them until around 6. I did hear them around 4 am one time. But that was my fault. I fell asleep on the couch. When I woke at 4 am I went out to check on them and they must have heard me. My neighbors must love me. Nobody has...

We only have six hens that are laying. Over the summer we were getting 6 eggs daily. When it started getting cold it went down to 2 eggs if any. Since thanksgiving we've been getting 7 eggs nearly every day. We did put straw ok n in coop for warmth and started feeding them more. We have...

Mine were laying under the chicken coop. We found 17 eggs under there. I killed me to trash them. But it was summer and we had no clue how long they had been there. Even after we blocked it off they found a way in. They would lay them all in a big circle l I'll keep a nest. Finally we...

Thanks for the tip. I'll see what I can find this weekend.

Thanks. Not sure how my hubby will feel about running electric out to the coop.

Ok I saw the meal worms at the store. I feed them food for layers. But no supplements. They eat bugs in their run. We don't let them out much due to the neighb orhood pets that don't stay home. I'm sure my son will love doing meal worms since it grosses me out a bit. Lol

That's what I was afraid of. Will the time change next week help at all?
