    Rats attracted to alfalfa?

    Hi! My girls love it when I put a small flake of alfalfa in their run for them to dig through. I rake it up and clean it out after a couple of days. I don’t have a huge rat problem. I caught one last month and have seen no evidence since. Just wondering if the alfalfa will attract rats? I make...

    Feasting on Ranunculus and anenome leafs

    This is my first winter with chickens. My girls are 9 months old. They are feasting on my anemone and ranunculus sprouts!! We let them freerange for about an hour a day so they have access to a variety of backyard goodies, grass, clover, weeds, lavender, bugs, ... so they have a lot to choose...

    Olive Egger

    She Layed!!! And she did not disappoint! Here is her first green eggs next to one from our RIR and Buff Orpington. She must be a barred Rock mix, her egg is longer, similar to a barred rock shape. Also, I emailed D2D Farms and they said their olive Eggers are a Barred RockXEaster Egger mix...

    Lone Bantam not yet laying

    Hi, here is a picture of our RIR and her mini-me (Bantam) for perspective. We free range for a couple of hours a day, but I'm pretty sure she's not sneaking off to lay. There have been a couple of days where we couldn't let them out of the run and she showed no indication of laying. Maybe...

    Lone Bantam not yet laying

    I thought lordosis was the technical term for “squatting”. My other hens started squatting about a week before they began laying. Here’s a picture of comb and waddle

    Lone Bantam not yet laying

    Hello. I didn’t know what I was doing when I was getting my chicks. I felt rushed and the lady said “how about a bantam?” And I said “sure”. So to start I had a RIR, Buff Orpington, and bantam RIR. They were a happy little flock, then I got an olive egger and barred rock pullets. Our bantam RIR...

    Thank you for your response. I can tell you have a lot of chicken knowledge :) I'm a chicken novice, by 'crest' do you mean comb? Her comb is very slight/small. I'm going to google "hen crest" I'm surprised at how pronounced her back and white barring is. She looks like she could be my...
