    what should I feed my chickens?

    I know this has been asked, and the answer is here somewhere, I just can't find it right now My MIL insists that corn is a good everyday food for chickens. I think we need to go to the Co-Op and buy some feed designed for chickens. Buster, our cockerel has been eating DuMor chick feed, but...

    Our first hens!

    Quote: Hahaha, about the same thing happened with our dog. He was a free puppy and when we got him home I immediately noticed he had worms and tons of seed ticks. So I took him to the Vet the next day and had to fill in a name, which we had not given him yet. I just put "nameless" and they...

    Our first hens!

    Thank you! We don't have a run yet, just the coop, but my son takes a camp chair out ther and sits with them. I'm wanting to make the dog pen into a run because we have a new underground fence, but the dog isn't quite used to it yet.

    Our first hens!

    Hi! I'm a super chicken newbie, and I recently discovered we had 2 RIR Roosters instead of a hen and a roo as we had intended. I found a new home for one roo, and gave the other some time to rest after being bullied by the bigger rooster. I kept the one my son raised from a chick. Today we went...

    chicken noob in TN

    Thank you! I've already found some great info. We live in Middle TN, a tiny little place called Possum Town. Also, because I wasn't particularly wordy in my intro, it's just me, my husband, and my almost 7 year old son out in the country. We have a blue heeler mix named chewy, a great outdoor...

    Afraid we have 2 RIR Roosters

    Thank you very much! I am a dog person, and showed Bichon Frises for 4 years. The dog industry is much less friendly sometimes (though it is quite easier to tell a grump from a dog ). I'm feeling much more at home with chickens. *edit* aww, it changed the word for female dog to "grump". That...

    Afraid we have 2 RIR Roosters

    Thanks y'all. That's what I thought, though I feel like a dummy for not being able to tell a hen from a rooster. Betsy is now named Bugsy and we're trying to find a home for the other rooster, Buster.

    Afraid we have 2 RIR Roosters

    Hi all, I just posted in the introductions thread. Long story short, my in-laws bought my son 2 Rhode Island Red chicks in April. The chicks were kept at my FIL's house until one chick died and we discovered he was keeping the other on in a 2X 2 cube with no shelter. My husband built the poor...
