Yesterday a noon I noticed that the chickens were all in their pen after I'd let them out a couple hours before I thought to my self "that's odd" they are usually out in the yard running around. Then I heard a loud chirping sound so I went out to investigate thinking that maybe one of the...

Memory lane: blue & white speckled turkey roaster, too sm. for the turkey we would get so had to retire and declutter that one. This mo. I found a black and white speckled pan big enough for any bird at a yd. sale for 50 cents! Looking forward to using it one of these years. Not this yr. as...

I went out today to knock the dirt off my shoes whack whack and by the third whack they had all come running like it was dinner call or some thing so funny to see! I gave the chickens some squash seeds today. And some bacon drippings with scratch it's we're supposed to get our really first...

I saw on U-tube some thing about a roo giving a special call for grasshoppers that hen preferred these for treats so maybe that's a bug call a roo was giving some one was mentioning! It's so funny when we open the door they run out in a mad dash to get under the grapes their favorite treats...

Back from dumpster diving for pumpkins! LOL! I got some for the chickens after I spotted 'em on my walk; it was past dark so I came back for the stroller as it was a big one that I spotted & I did not want to lug it home. Grabbed a bag and snagged two of 'em so the chickens will be happy with...

New to chickening here but we had some as a kid. Sort of flying by the seat of our pants with these. I'm back after the p/c crashed and was down a couple of weeks I have some chicken news. Got current on reading posts here. We went to the feed store anniversary event mostly for the $5.00 feed...

Of topic a bit but you can increase font size on a p/c by pressing ctrl + with shift button. Works for me. [Mods. can delete this post if needed.] Chickens are fine today grand kids are clamoring to help feed them the scraps when ever they are around. Checking on then when the hens have...

For now we have two blocks of wood in the run for roosts the hens seem to enjoy that. I did not get photos of the roosts yet.

Hens eating bowls before we got the hanging feeder up no pic. of that. Lower smaller nest box does not open from the back.

Chicken run is done. [The blue play house will be converted to a hen house at a future time.] Granddaughters feeding hens. Me showing the nest boxes slide out for easier cleaning.

> Re: In these economic times what have you done to save $ having hens.< Saving $ I been collecting things from the yard to feed the hens all year before I got them. Pumpkins from last yr. are in the freezer, I'm going to make up some pumpkin corn bread with some salad dressing I got the...

I love reading this thread I've learned SO much thanks a bunch every one for all that you share. I'll read something and think oh I was wondering about that and it would answer a question I had! The guy that does the ordering at the W-mart store here said the chicken feed flies out the door...

I'm not an OT but someone asked for those that order from hatcheries which ones do you use? The feed stored and breeders in our area have made a few suggestions and I found a hatchery I'd not heard of in byc forums forget which one now. I followed the link. I live in the West Eastern...

The last three times I've been to the store they have been out of layer feed, no grower / developer flock mgt. or what ever it's called and just had scratch. So I called the other feed stores in the area. Contacted my cousin on the other side of the country he used to grow chickens commercially...

I was at W-mart today and a 20-25 lb. sack of BOSS was like $26.99 is this what it usually goes for or is it up b/c of the dry year? {I did not get it as don't have chickens yet.}

I love this thread! Thanks every one for sharing! I'm reading and sipping my coffee learning some thing each day and I got through the posts! When I was a kid my dad build a giant feeder out of plywood that held two #50 sacks of chicken feed it looked like a giant rabbit feeder.
