Made me thirsty just looking at the video, lol! What kind of chickens are they? I have a hen that looks just like yours, and always just called her a mutt.
our 1 year old rir hen who was a fantastic layer, has not laid one egg since we brought home a rooster. the other girls continue to lay, and Red is not broody. And she doesn't seem to be molting. Has anyone had this happen? Will she recover?
i have 4 hens in a small coop/outdoor run, in western maryland. should i be worming them, spraying the coop, and dusting the birds as a preventive to any pests, or do i just enjoy their goood health and be prepared to spraywormdust when there's a need to do so? thanks
So....when you say you hose it down, you mean just a gentle spray to control dust, right? not a complete dousing that makes everything mud, right? why else would you hose down a dirt floor?
our local feed store didnt' carry it but they were willing to special order it for me. $10 for a 5lb bag. and, when i say feed store, i mean out in the country farmer's feed store, not TSC. they don't have it , and so far haven't been able to special order it

oh, i want one! it's really wonderful! one newbie question, though. you don't have a door on the chicken doorway. is that common? ok, 2 questions-- what made you decide to have it built that way?
lol, funny you should say that. i've got a snake (skinned and gutted) in my freezer now, thanks to my 'mountain man' boys! just waiting.....wwwaaaaiiiiittttiiiinnnnggg for that thing to be GONE! actually they roasted half of it, and had leftovers
sorry about the poor pix. i asked the kids to get pix of their heads and bodies, and that's all i got, lol --no whole chickens!
First, there's Red. These 3 are all almost 5 months old.
then, there's Goldilocks.
And finally, Roxy.
we assume she's a girl, but we named her Sunshine Bob just in case. you know, could go either way. and i'm kinda curious as to what kind of chickie she is, not that it really matters. is my photo good enough for anyone to tell? i'd like to id the rest of my chickies, but can't get anymore pix...
my 4 girls are in a temporary coop with no roost. is that ok? are they the only chickens that have no roosts? they have a nice predator-safe coop and run otherwise, just no roosting space. i'm still trying to get school work/ spring cleaning done, and my summer's been delayed a few weeks. i...
