Looking for advice - I currently use wood shavings for my coop but my husband wants to clean it all out and begin using construction sand for the coop bedding and run ground cover. What are the pros and cons?? Anyone have a preference and or why?
Phew! That's reassuring :) Yes she's right around the 2 week mark (her first time being really broody after hitting maturity, so I let her sit to see how the process works....I'm new to backyard chickens - so I was a bit curious). I hand fed her some meal worms and she finally came off her egg...
I have a first year broody chicken who has been setting on 1 unfertilized egg for a couple weeks now. I noticed her comb and waddles are extremely pale. Is this normal while setting? Or something I should be more concerned about??
