    Viva Las Vegas!

    Wow how crazy of timing! Adoption could be very nice. I believe Tiff has adopted locally. Sorry we don't have any more chicks for sale. We sold all of the extras already.

    Vines for coop and run?

    Love all the ideas for vines. Great summer shade and something to peck at. Vining spinach is a really good idea.

    $5 each which covers cost of chick, shipping, meds, and feed. Hatchery guaranteed pullet. We had someone buy 4 chicks today.

    how long can you leave eggs out unrefrigerated?

    Man you gotta love eggs. No one ever believes me that they practically don't go bad. Thanks for all the info. Also, I am going to try going back to the boil water first method of boiling eggs and use room temperature eggs. I love hard boiled eggs but peeling them is KILLING me.

    No kidding. How can you possibly tell someone they can't grow a garden?

    Can chickens eat safflower seeds?

    I like this ideaMuddyHillFarm. I pulle dmy spent sunflower plants and gave the whole things to the chickens. They loved it! This year I will plant a bunch next to their run for excercise.

    What brand of feed is best?

    I use Purina Flock Raiser and my girls lay year round. Some chickens stop laying here in the Vegas hot summers. But mine have lots of shade and misters.

    What treat did your chickies get today?

    I like to give my girls melon grown in the garden. On very hot days I'll freeze them. They get a lot of leftovers, exra garden veggies, leftover greens, dug up veggie plants and of course dried mealworms are a favorite. They loved tearing apart the sunflower plants I threw in to them.

    post pics of grow out pens

    Thanks for the ideas guys. I am currently debating enclosing the space underneath my coop to use as a second coop space. Then building a separate run off of it where the new chickens can see and hear the flock but not get attacked. Glad to hear that this works.

    eating cracked eggs

    Oooo thanks for asking this question. I have been cooking and eating the slightly cracked ones immediately and then tossing it if it was severely cracked or pecked at. Seems like I am on track.

    what chicken is laying?

    Wow I never would have thought about "dying" the eggs with food colouring in the vent. I have 4 hens but never gotten 4 eggs in a day. I am suspicous that one of mine does not lay. I think I might try this to figure out who lays what. Great suggestion.
