My RIR lay reddish brown eggs with dark speckles and my SLW lay light tan with dark speckles and sometimes the they're light colored speckles !

So I guess what I want to do is a deep bedding; correct?

Mehh from what I've researched, as long as you keep it dry and turn it over at least once a week it should be fine. I live in an area with a very dry atmosphere...I think that makes a difference.

Can you expound on that; why didn't it work over concrete? I have a little chicken house sitting inside an existing dog kennel (6'x6' chain link panels on a concrete pad). I've planned to build a roof over the kennel, and enclose the floor around the bottom of the kennel with 1"x 6" as a...

Can you explain why DLM doesn't work well for a concrete floor?

8 week old EE. Stands out as the top of the pecking order, is always the first to investigate anything new in the run.

EE, 8 weeks old. Is it a Crystal or a Christopher?

Panels set inside a 4' kiddie pool, using equine pine bedding pellets. The panels came with an adjustable light hook so you can raise it as needed. I have mine in a nice shed in the backyard. This was a few weeks ago...they're almost 6 weeks old and really flighty so they've been spending the...

The feed store where I got her from said they had a batch of Aracauna and New Hampshire Reds...my question...is she an Aracauna cuz she sure as heck ain't a red!

They're so adorable when they start scratching at around 2 weeks old also! Last week, I placed about a 2 quart plastic container filled with some of my garden soil...they hopped in a few times but didn't really pay close attention. I took them outside again today (3 weeks old) and they did...

Some scrambled eggs with cooked brown rice, maybe? I messaged you.

I use the equine pine pellets for my chicks. No smell or dust and they can't eat the big pellets. I get a 40# bag for around $7 or less and lasts a long time also safe for compost.

I was using warm water on a cotton pad to clean up the butts but found through trial and error that a cotton pad soaked with a few drops of olive oil was more effective at cleaning their little hiney and it leaves a little coating on their vents that helps to keep them a bit cleaner. I'm all...

I love to watch these tiny babies scratching also...So cute!

I accidentally locked my dog in the shed with them. She killed 5 of the 6 we had. Totally my fault for not checking before I left the shed.

I placed a rubber pet food place mat with raised edges to contain the chick crumble mess and cut down on wasted feed. Works great and washes in a flash with the hose! These are my new babies I got after the massacre the other day. The yellow chick, Crystal, was the sole survivor.

Yes! I had some pine pellets left over that I was using as cat litter and decided to try it with my new chicks. It's excellent, no smell and since they don't urinate, the pellets don't break down to sawdust. I just turn over the pellets every few days to refresh and they're happy. It also...

I'm in Mountain Home

City ordinances says 3. My neighbor has 6 so I thought 4 was a good number. We came home with 7 because it was a straight run selection...You know...Might lose one or two or might end up with a roo...Or two. I lost one after the first 24 hours but chose not to replace it because I had planned...
