    Dumor Chicken Feed - Anyone getting dust instead of Crumbles ?

    This is my usual feed, too; but the last bag of crumbles was very dusty and had these weird clumps. I am now using Purina Layena. I do believe that every brand will have powder problems, simply because of its weight and how it is stored.

    Thanks, Cynthia! I visited them lat night to get them used to me. It was so cool to see them just cruise into the coop. Once there, I was able to pick them up and love on them.

    Thanks for the tips! I just added ACV to my list. :) I'm very blessed, as these girls are coming from a very touchy-feely family. Our run area is already being laid out, so hopefully it goes well. Two are laying, as they are slightly older than the younguns. Should I expect them to stop laying...

    The trip is 45 minutes max. Never thought about using hay (duh). I think he can place and mount the coop within an hour. We planned on lifting it onto our trailer, with the help of four strapping young men!! I believe the most time spent will be on predator- proofing the run. We plan on doing...

    Hello, all!! Glad to be able to join more enthusiasts. I'm being gifted six ladies this weekend, including their coop and run. Bless my husband's heart, as he will be the chief (only?) dis-assembler and reassembler. ;) Any suggestions for a smooth transition? We will be transporting the girls...
