    Separate food for separate age groups

    Oh wow, I did not know that! Well, hopefully in a few weeks I’ll be able to bring them outside for a bit. Thanks for the tip!

    Separate food for separate age groups

    Thank you @rosemarythyme! Quick question, in case you happen to know-is medicated feed ok for adult hens? The chicks are on medicated starter, and will be until they turn 7 or 8 weeks. After that I will try to incorporate them into the flock and not sure if I’ll need to continue them on...

    Separate food for separate age groups

    Ah, ok-thanks! And I’ve got crumbles for now, but would like to switch them to pellets at around 8 weeks, if possible

    Separate food for separate age groups

    Thanks! Can the chicks/pullets have the 2% calcium in their diet? I thought you weren’t supposed to give them calcium?

    Separate food for separate age groups

    Hi all, just curious how do people advise handling food when integrating young pullets into a flock of adults? I have a two young chicks (one hatched 4/12, one hatched 4/23), 5 adult hens (around 18-22 months old), and a treadle feeder that can only have pellets in it. I know the chicks/pullets...

    Help . . . Rats!

    Have you got pics? I’m curious to see if that buried chicken wire fence works. I have heard they can chew through everything except hardware cloth.

    Here’s a pic from this morning. She’s just sleeping while standing up a lot, not making any noise, not really eating anymore

    Help, very slow weight gain

    Hi, I got two baby chicks approximately one week ago (Sat 4/12), both hatched that morning. Millie, the blue laced red Wyandotte, weighs 79 grams today but Yuki, the French black copper marans, only weighs 54 grams. Yesterday she weighed in at 55 grams. The previous three days she was 49 grams...

    Help . . . Rats!

    Let me ask you, since I purchased this feeder from your company, I’ve been thinking ing about moving this old treadle feeder to the inside of the coop for days where they have to be kept inside and purchasing a new feeder for outside. If I go with a new one, can I get it with these holes pre...
